@janecoaston Jack is a good representative of what, exactly?

@David_J_Bier Define decline. We could have half the population and be 10x as wealthy There's no fundamental relationship between population size and per capita wealth.

@jessesingal Organizations were told to freeze spending with few exceptions. This isn't an exception.

@ZaidJilani There's criminal fraud. And then there's establishing giant slush funds to enrich connected people under the cover of "helping" humanity fraud. The second isn't criminal but it's deceptive.

@David_J_Bier What's the basis for "must" and "required"?

@Noahpinion It could have been soooooo much better.

@mattyglesias We did it before and we can do it again!

@HistoryBoomer Mmmm....USAID...yummmmmm

@galacticfednews @walterkirn Which PACs? No GOP PACs want this. That's why an outsider is needed. One with the ultimate FU money.

@dilanesper You want fraud? I'll give you fraud. Just you wait until DOGE really digs in.

@benryanwriter An efficient Government is one that provides core services efficiently. And anything outside of the core is an inefficiency.

@walterkirn Nah. Worse than that. Their stance is that the Federal leviathan is 100% secure and trustworthy and that anyone who accesses it's system but hasn't been working there for 30 years is only doing it to violate your confidential data.

@dilanesper Quite the leap to claim that Wickard was an obvious endpoint and that the Framers "deliberately" wrote the Commerce clause to cover intra-state business operations, as if interstate commerce was entirely unknown until the 1930s.

@brad_polumbo There absolutely is a need to not deny reality. This was the door through which these ideas plowed through : Self ID, gender affirmation, and the destruction of Women's sports

@HistoryBoomer Eh. A smart person doesn't piss off their immediate allies. It would be counter-productive to his goals to attack the establishment as a whole vs. just the Left. His messaging will shift once Trump sheds him (odds of that are low near term but likely after the 2026 elections).

@TimothySandefur I propose you have a poor grasp of the word propose.

@conor64 Nope. They are awake and aware at the know limited window. 1.0 was a series of lessons learned by a novice. 2.0 is an action plan.

@amyklobuchar So...price controls? Yeah,no.

@IanFelipeSays @realchrisrufo Trump 1.0 was supposed to drain the swamp. It did not for a lot of reasons, including Trump's own failing. Trump 2.0 found the dam wrecker and the swamp is draining at lightning speed. GOOD
