Though headlines and analysts repeatedly claim that the anti-Trump "resistance" is in disarray and that Democrats are struggling to form a coherent message against the administration, many of the cogs in the resistance’s machine continue to turn as though it were the first Trump administration. The only difference is that, this time, Trump is having none of it and driving through his agenda at such a pace that his opposition can’t get its footing.
During the first Trump term, the so-called “deep state” mounted consistent opposition and managed to effectively obstruct his keynote projects. Leakers inside the Department of Homeland Security often thwarted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Pentagon officials opposed to his foreign policy realignment slow-walked his withdrawal orders, notably in Syria. He further saw an antagonistic media repeatedly twist his words and fixate on the Russia collusion narrative. In 2025, intransigent career officials continue to make their frustrations known and the media remains as anti-Trump as ever.
But it’s a new term and a new Donald Trump. A host of executive orders, unconventional nominees, and sweeping agency reforms have the Washington, D.C., establishment in a panic and, ultimately, unable to do much about anything.
Bureaucrats who slow-walk or otherwise obstruct the implementation of the White House’s orders are on their way out. The media’s emotional appeals on immigration, parading desperate migrants denied entry to the U.S., carry no weight with Trump. Cries of “respect for institutional norms” go unheard. And protesters with multi-colored hair are left to scream into the wind.

Other FBI agents on Tuesday filed a suit aiming to stop the government from compiling information about the agents who worked on those cases, arguing that they are likely to face some form of retaliation should the administration learn of their involvement.

Two things
1) the courts have no standing on how the President runs the executive branch.
2) this is no difference from any criminal investigation. Witnesses are questions, statements are taken and follow up are done. If these agents broke the law they should be punished.
Exactly! “We broke the law and ruined peoples’ lives. We’ll be damned if we’re going to let YOU discover that and prosecute us!” Well, you’re correct. You will be damned.
