The first few weeks of Trump 2.0 has felt like all DOGE all the time: Elon Musk deployed his minions to as many agencies as possible, accessing data servers and trying to fire workers, while groups file lawsuits to try to stop them. There hadn’t been many meaningful changes on abortion and bodily autonomy thus far, until last week when the Trump administration took action in three different court cases. Unsurprisingly, none of it is good. All three moves are ripped from the Project 2025 playbook written for the first 100 days of a Republican president’s term, which Trump tried to disavow on the campaign trail.
Look, everyone should have just assumed that anything little d said, especially if it seemed the least bit sane or centrist or popular, was a fucking lie.
Because the Republicans are who and what we are talking about. And these weird little weasels are not content to leave things like freedom on the table for people to make choices they don’t like, such as ignoring their little book club or having actual bodily autonomy (they try to muddy the waters between being an anti-va, anti-ma super-spreader with women’s rights).
They certainly are not going to “leave it up to the states” FFS. They think the rubes in flyover country, no matter how outnumbered, should be able to force even the bluest cities in the bluest states to put up with their shitty religion. Because Jesus.
