 | ☕️ SWAMP APOCALYPSE ☙ Wednesday, February 12, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 Yesterday was a terrible, no-good, very bad day for the Swamp. Trump struck back in a coordinated assault on all fronts. www.coffeeandcovid.com |
The Deep State spent the weekend celebrating its judicial bottlenecks, believing it had stalled Trump’s momentum. Instead, they woke up yesterday to three separate existential threats unfolding at the same time.
The announcement of the pending reconciliation bill put Congress on the chessboard. If Congress cuts the Deep State’s purse strings, the courts have nothing to say. The Swamp now faces the horrifying prospect that its most powerful agencies may be actually defunded, not just paused.
Take the money away, and the Deep State starves. That was the first existential threat.
Anna Paulina Luna’s Declassification Task Force threatens to start a systematic, ongoing unraveling of decades of classified secrets. But more importantly, it will give Congress the excuse to strip off the Deep State’s institutional cover, by reining in overclassification. The Deep State cannot survive in sunlight. That was the second existential threat.
Finally, Musk’s DOGE status report put uncooperative public officials on notice. It’s now a possible criminal investigation. They can resist, but resistance only draws more attention to themselves. And, while corporate media continues trying to deny it, since Elon brought receipts, the bureaucracy is on notice. The counter-leaks will continue.
The Deep State thought it could box in Trump with legal challenges, but he’s moved the fight to Congress and to public disclosure, where the judiciary has no power.
But even that wasn’t all. Trump made sure. He scorched the Earth.
