Liberation Day Downturn

Trump did it. 10% tariffs on all foreign imports. 25% on cars. A whole table worth of tariffs that will be ripping through the economy. As a banker, I feel like Ralph Wiggum at the back of the bus. The impact on my job security aside, I see the poverty people are living in. I see elderly people who struggle to pay their bills, or to get the care they need. I see people trudging their way through life, doing the best they can, and trying to make the most out of nothing. These people will suffer. People will starve. The homelessness epidemic will soar. People will die needless deaths of poverty.

Project 2025 Implementation: Executive Orders 31 - 35

This latest batch is 4 for 5 in terms of alignment with Project 2025, and none of them pose any kind of opposition to policies and goals laid out in the conservative manual.

Current running tally: 30 of 35 orders align with policies or goals stated in Project 2025. 1 order opposes a policy laid out in the guidebook. 4 orders are not mentioned in Project 2025, but not ruled out either.

The People Too Must Rise

An interruption to your regularly unscheduled content: the six of you who follow this blog may have noticed that the moment I committed to more posts every week, I fell off. I do have the outline of EOs 31 - 35 put together; I just need to edit it into a suitable blog post. The delay is because of an opportunity I have to write an article about executive orders for a wider audience. I am hoping to land more opportunities to write for that site, but I'm still committed to the Project 2025 comparison. It may not move at the same pace as previously planned, but I'm not dropping it all together either.

But, for now, here's a quick scream into the void about the latest bout of corruption and self-servitude by America's most powerful billionaire:

Project 2025 Implementation: Executive Orders 26 - 30

Of this administration's first 30 executive orders, there are only three with no connection to Project 2025. Of those three, only one is in opposition to policies and goals stated in Project 2025. This is still a 90% correlation between Trump's executive orders and Project 2025, which he claimed during his campaign to know nothing about. This overlap is not a coincidence. I will continue to cover this correlation and have plans to catch up completely by the end of April.

Project 2025 Implementation: Executive Orders 21 - 25

As of today 92 executive orders have been signed. In the coming week I will be working on a plan and schedule to get caught up as soon as possible. I work full time and have a family and my own mental health to take care of. Still, this project is a high priority for me and I hope to be able to pick up the pace with more structure and routine-building.
These five orders cover a range of topics, all of which have concerning implications for millions of Americans.
