Today’s notice: Scoop: Football is probably coming back to D.C. The shortest 100 days in memory are also somehow the longest. Congress is done recessing. Two 2026 scoops. And an exclusive look at a (very large) new face on Capitol Hill.
DOGE’s Bark and Its Bite
The whole First 100 Days thing is a rhetorically important but technically meaningless part of a presidency. Usually. But few presidents have promised as much fundamental change in as short a time as President Donald Trump, so it’s as good a time as any to take stock of exactly how the revolution is going.
DOGE is clearly the defining project of Trump’s 100 days, a mark he’ll hit this week. Trump empowered Elon Musk, Russ Vought and others to insert chaos into the federal government in the name of creating ideological purity and, it has been promised, big savings for the American taxpayer. How’s it going? Well, the former may be happening. But NOTUS’ Mark Alfred reports that the latter promise — the money one — has yet to be kept.
