You know, I've tried to quantify it.

It's hard to do because there's a mix of these, you know, small little individual items and then these kind of bigger systemic questions.

But we see a ton of the executive orders that come directly from Project 2025.

We see federal bureaucrats being laid off.

We see Schedule F to convert them to political appointees.

So that's really a big chunk of this movement towards executive power.

And so much of their game is just they want to get as far as they can as fast as they can because they know the pushback is coming.

And so they saw these first hundred days as a really crucial period.

And I think the speed with which they've acted and the breadth of their grab shows how serious they were.

I think that's such an important point.

You can't just put these things back.

You can't restart programs.

People are going to get new jobs.

They're going to move on.

They're not going to want to work for a president who they see as this capricious.

And so, you know, there are these studies that have been going on for years that are getting shut down.

You can't simply pick those back up.

You can't pick up research that's been going.

So even if there are defeats for Trump in court, I think they've permanently transformed a lot of the federal government.

Yeah.
