Disinformation, Deregulation, and the Dismantling of American Democracy

With A LOT of credit the Heather Cox Richardson!

Heather Cox Richardson's February 6, 2025, Facebook post details the Trump administration's spread of disinformation, including fabricated immigration raids and false claims about USAID funding. The newsletter highlights the administration's weakening of governmental oversight, specifically targeting the FBI and USAID, and the potential benefits accruing to favored corporations like SpaceX and Tesla. It also discusses the confirmation of a controversial OMB nominee and a blocked executive order on birthright citizenship. Furthermore, the piece exposes the administration's actions as empowering foreign adversaries like China and potentially jeopardizing national security. Finally, the newsletter notes the ongoing erosion of democratic norms and the rule of law under the current administration.
