On Tuesday, The Daily Signal posted an article detailing four steps President Trump has taken since he took office in 2025 to dismantle the deep state.

The article reports:

1. Reinstating ‘Schedule F’

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order to reinstate Schedule F, which makes it easier for the president to fire bureaucrats. 

2. DOGE

The Department of Government Efficiency reportedly reduced federal employment by about 271,000 jobs. 

3. Shutdown Cuts

During the recent government shutdown, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought cut $8 billion of blue state energy projects. 

4. Investigating ‘Deep State’ Abuses

In July, a CIA report found that John Brennan, the agency’s director in the Obama administration, overrode internal concerns to claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The deep state is still with us. Congress has codified very little of what President Trump has done, making it very easy to undo. The 2026 midterm elections are so critical because if the Democrats win either branch of Congress, all of the economic progress we made in the last year will end. Instead we will have non-stop impeachment hearings and a return to the tax and spend agenda that has nearly bankrupted our country. The easiest way to prevent the Democrats from taking over Congress is to insure an honest election. A bill to do that is currently in Congress.

Meanwhile, where are the orange jumpsuits that should be the result of all of the investigations we are hearing about?
