Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to cut 75% of federal agencies, reducing them from 428 to 99, in collaboration with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), led by Vivek Ramaswamy.

Johnson’s agenda includes defunding PBS, Planned Parenthood, and curbing the “administrative state” through legislation and executive orders under Donald Trump.

Critics warn such cuts would impact jobs, healthcare, and essential services.

Backed by recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agency authority, Johnson and DOGE aim to reduce federal regulations, sparking significant debate over these drastic proposals.

    Our dumbfucks fucks here in Quebec are increasingly leaning towards the Americanization of Canada.

    I’ve seen so many people talking about how it would be cool to be the 51st state when he met Trudeau.

      As an American, I urge you to fight that effort, in a serious way. America rocks, but also sucks in several major fuckin’ ways.

      Good luck, stay Canadian and keep up the mutual love.
