Trump’s executive order stripped agencies of their independence by making them directly accountable to a part of the presidency: the office of management and budget (OMB). The OMB is led by Russell Vought, founder of the rightwing Center for Renewing America (CRA) thinktank and one of the primary authors of the Project 2025 plan for an authoritarian takeover of government.

    The media isn’t independent, it’s all just propaganda now.

      There are independents, they’re hanging on for dear life and need our support.

        What media outlets are independent? I would love to broaden my exposure to non oligarchy owned news.

          For starters, under the title link, you’ll find The Guardian.

          But I also warmly recommend the BBC. They are state-owned, but the UK has kept itself out of their business.
