Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

45% of Project 2025 has yet to be implemented. Here are the five (5) most significant societal transformations we can expect over the next 2 years.
September 13, 2026 at 12:28 PM

1. Abortion Ban (Comstock Act).
- SCOTUS will outlaw shipment of mifepristone and abortion equipment.
States will sue to protect reproductive healthcare access and lose.
- SCOTUS will build on Dobbs, and hold (6-3) that federal law preempts state protections, establishing a de facto national ban on abortion meds.

2. Department of Education fully eliminated
- Rendering Title I/IDEA funds discretionary for states.
- Title IX (gender and LGBTQ+ discrimination; sexual assault) adjudication all eliminated.
- SCOTUS will permit states reallocate fed funds to private school vouchers.

3. Schedule F Civil Service Overhaul
- They'll convert tens of thousands of career civil servants into fireable political appointees, then fire them. Unions will sue over statutory civil service protections and due process, and lose.
- SCOTUS will promote "Unitary Executive Theory," holding the President has absolute firing power. Civil Service will be dismantled.

4. Obergefelll and "DEI"
- The federal government will eliminate all LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections and enforce the "traditional family" model.
- Challenges to state marriage bans will prompt extremist rulings re: the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS will ultimately overturn Obergefell, returning marriage "definitions" to the states.

5. Medicare Privatization & Medicaid Elimination
- They'll force Medicare Advantage beneficiaries into default. They'll block
Medicaid funds to providers who offer any reproductive care.
- States will challenge restrictions on patient provider choice and lose.
SCOTUS will uphold broad federal authority to restrict funds and accelerate of the privatization/cancellation of the "welfare state."

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
