RDP senior researcher Kenny Stancil spoke with Counterpoint’s Scott Harris about his article, “Where Is the Democratic Opposition?”, and the need to organize an effective and aggressive national Trump opposition movement both inside the Democratic Party and across civil society.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was asked about the Elon Musk-led DOGE team’s meddling in the Treasury Department’s payments system. His answers raise additional questions.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE demolition crew have infiltrated the Treasury Department’s payments system. We’re tracking this crisis as it unfolds.

While members of Congress try to obtain an official list of personnel working for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the media have been keeping tabs on Musk and his team as they sweep through the federal government. Along with our list of individuals reportedly affiliated with DOGE, we’ve compiled a list of the agencies reportedly visited by DOGE in the first weeks of the Trump administration.

We won’t know the full scope of what went wrong to cause the horrific in-air collision at DCA until the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) completes its investigation. That could take up to two years. Oh, and that’s assuming the investigation is independent–which didn’t previously need to be specified, but, well… look around. Given all of that, the opposition to Musk and Trump, including but not limited to Democrats, must not wait to assign blame.
