The fact that Trump’s DOJ was covering up the Epstein files and tracking the journalists reporting on them, should tell you everything you need to know about who they are protecting. https://t.co/vf0ZpuEyzA— Melanie D'Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie) December 29, 2025

Hilton Hotels suspends franchisee that cancelled ICE Agents' reservations within 24 hours of news breaking.

If Hilton continued to allow a franchise to discriminate against government employees based on politics, the GSA would be justified to remove Hilton as a contractor.

To be fair when you go to the tweet, you'll see Obama was also credited with 7 bombings. Bottom line, Federal government is always for war, no matter who the President is, so stop pretending.

Cool, we're the superpower, multipolarity is retarded and will end up with us having to really fight at some point, not drop a few bombs or send in the Delta Force for 15 minutes.

You think it's cool and powerful to drop bombs on people? Or to kidnap foreigners? That's some fucking dark shit.

A lot more than 50 if you include the human and child sacrifices of the Oklahoma bombing false flag (blowing up all the evidence against Clintons).

Yep. What's wrong with kidnapping a Cartel Bigwig AND 30 Cuban Communists AND a few score more Narcothugs?

That's like some Chuck Norris shit, very cool.

Much better than being a wimpy cuck .

But second, and completely missing the profound irony, Edsall and his coterie of collectivist commentators described something they called “deeply unusual,” which was that Trump’s federal agencies are working together to achieve the President’s priorities. Behold this remarkable admission, which described the federal government working _effectively_:

If you look at the assault on higher education, for example, it
involves coordinated action by the Office of Management and
Budget, the Department of Education, the Department of Justice,
the Department of State (which oversees visas for foreign
students), the National Science Foundation and the Department
of Health and Human Services, the National Science Foundation
(which houses the National Institutes of Health and the National
Institute of Aging), the Department of Energy, the Department of
Agriculture and the newly formed Department of Government
Efficiency. They had to work together to ensure a consistent
response.
Such coordinated efforts across agencies are normally
difficult to organize; it reflects shared ideological goals, and a
White House prioritization of those goals. Seemingly every part
of the government was on board. That is deeply unusual.

Superficially, it’s more welcome confirmation of Swamp-draining. And it’s especially delightful in progressive surprise that Trump could have drained the federal swamp so quickly. But the deeper irony was the explicit admission that “coordinated efforts across agencies are normally difficult to organize.”

That, dear reader, is a statement of government dysfunction as the default, which progressives apparently view as a feature rather than as a problem. Either way, it was also an implied admission that Trump has successfully accomplished something that is “normally difficult” and “deeply unusual.” We accept the praise, however grudgingly it was offered.

That long paragraph I quoted above literally describes textbook effective public administration. It’s what good governance looks like. It describes competence. And it shocked Edsall and his progressive cronies. It also reveals a deeply cynical progressive point of view: Government should be inefficient when implementing policies we oppose. Had they described the same coordination for Biden’s vaccine mandates —OMB, OSHA, DOD, VA, CMS, DOJ all working in concert— they’d likely praise it as “whole-of-government” public health response.
