How to follow the flood of nonsense coming from Trump’s White House

During the first term of Donald Trump, Steve Banon explicitly stated what the administration’s strategy would be to do things: “Flood the area with shitS “The theory is quite simple: throw away as much nonsense as possible – knowing that there is only so much attention, outrage and resistance that people can gather – and take victories while everyone else takes the bait.

It is not difficult to see that this approach was launched in Hyperdroven in the first months of Trump’s second term, facilitated in a small part of Trump beker and “First friend“Elon Musk turns Twitter into discharge, misinformation and disorientation. In what should be extremely rich in information, it becomes almost impossible to release a noise signal. Fortunately, some nice people hold their gaze on the ball, so we all are not a victim of the game with high bets.

First, there is Project 2025 TrackerS Started as a spreadsheet maintained by two red dieties, the project has grown into a larger resource designed to maintain sections for the progress of the Trump administration in the implementation of the plans set out in the 2025 project. Page on the 900 plus page To consolidate the executive branch and the transformation of the government to serve as a right -wing Christian nationalist program.

Project 2025 Tracker It reflects the recommendations of the policy of the leading document of the inheritance Foundation, identifying them as goals of the administration and tracing its progress in the actual achievement of these efforts. These goals are attached to specific agencies and can be sought in the project database or you can track the overall progress of administration’s efforts. So far, this is going well for them: Project 2025 Tracker estimates that Trump and his team have already achieved nearly 40% of the goals established by the 2025 project.

As for Musk’s attempts to flood the area, journalist Jude Legum from popular information and Musk Watch launches a new project called Doge Tracker-A pseudo-agency, who claims to audit the federal government, but somehow continues to have to review its own number. Doge Tracker has a simple prerequisite: do not take your Musk Elon on your word. Instead, the project is excavated in Doge’s requested savings, the actual detailed abbreviations that Doge has bothered to record, and actually verified funding.

You will be shocked (well, no, you wouldn’t) to hear that these numbers are not added. According to Doge TrackerThe department claims to have achieved savings of $ 105 billion as of March 12, 2025, but has documented only $ 29.9 billion from it – and only $ 8.6 billion savings can actually be checked. This means that Musk and his crew have overestimated what they saved the country by about 92%.

We are only two months old in this iteration of Trump’s Presidency. Things will not slow down. This one will continue to be flooded. Use these tools to filter nonsense and pay attention to what matters.
