Thiel–Trump MAGA is a right-wing Cultural Revolution: purge elites, gut education, science, culture; replace w loyal unqualified appointees everywhere.
E.g. MAGA hires now run Kennedy Center—permanent damage is done.
Same playbook as Mao’s—smash institutions, enforce loyalty, remake culture.

"I often complain about the syndrome known as 'both-sidesing' — in which unequal sides are given equal treatment in the press. But this failure of coverage is worse than that." - @sulliview.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/10/tues...
Margaret Sullivan: "The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why."

"What’s the reason for this silence? As usual, I believe, it’s the mainstream media’s fear of appearing to sympathize or identify with those who oppose Trump. I often complain about the syndrome known as “both-sidesing” — in which unequal sides are given equal treatment in the press. But this failure of coverage is worse than that."'

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

That may be why they're doing MDRs, forcing into service people from other DHS missions like CISA and FEMA. It's also likely why they're offering large signing bonuses for people who want to be thugs. They don't have the people, and they know it.

Apparently the CDC and CISA are "Democrat-oriented" agencies. Republicans prefer us being sick and hacked.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
