Badlands Daily: Feb. 11, 2025 – Trump’s War on the Swamp, USAID Corruption, and Deep State Panic

CannCon and GhostofBPH break down the biggest power struggle in D.C. as Trump and Musk’s deep state purge runs into predictable resistance from activist judges and lawfare hacks. USAID whistleblowers are spilling the beans on decades of corruption and foreign money laundering, and the swamp is losing its collective mind over Trump shutting off their cash flow.

The deep state’s favorite lawfare architect, Norm Eisen, is back in action, scrambling to stop Trump from exposing where the bodies (and billions) are buried. Meanwhile, federal judges are desperately trying to block Trump’s executive orders, but the question remains—will Trump even listen?

The Pentagon still can’t pass an audit, and nobody in charge seems to care where the missing trillions have gone. Trump just shut down Japan’s attempt to buy up U.S. Steel, forcing an investment deal instead of a buyout. In the Middle East, the geopolitical chessboard is shifting, with Trump baiting Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia into a realignment that no one saw coming.
