A main trope of the Trump administration's transatlantic enmity is the alleged disappearance of free speech in Europe. Here's a compilation of the words the US administration seeks to extinguish from official documents. (From a year ago, so probably an undercount.)

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 ā but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
