Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to cut 75% of federal agencies, reducing them from 428 to 99, in collaboration with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), led by Vivek Ramaswamy.

Johnson’s agenda includes defunding PBS, Planned Parenthood, and curbing the “administrative state” through legislation and executive orders under Donald Trump.

Critics warn such cuts would impact jobs, healthcare, and essential services.

Backed by recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agency authority, Johnson and DOGE aim to reduce federal regulations, sparking significant debate over these drastic proposals.

    You know how people look back at history and go “the situation back then wasn’t perfect, but the idiotic way some in power tried to fix it just made it soooo much worse!”…

    Yeah, this is the next step up in the current cycle of this. In centuries to come anyone who is about able to reflect on things will not look at Johnson et al at all favorably.

        My original comment was supposed to say ‘able’ not ‘about’. Because I had the same thought as you.

      They’re not trying to fix anything, just keep people down while they rape and plunder.
