President Trump and Elon Musk are driving a disruptive approach in Washington, fueling aggressive conservative efforts, including the recently launched “DEI WATCH LIST.”
The list, compiled by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), names federal workers engaged in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. AAF leader Tom Jones defended the project, saying, “If you’re not taking flak, you’re not over the target.” Critics, including Dr. Georges Benjamin of the American Public Health Association, condemned it as racist and dangerous. Despite backlash, AAF plans to expand the list.
Trump has signed an executive order to eliminate DEI programs in federal agencies, with Jones advocating for further action against officials linked to such initiatives.
Meanwhile, past conservative proposals—once dismissed—are now shaping Trump’s policies. House Republicans who previously failed to cut USAID, defund Pride Month observances, or block UNRWA funding now see their ideas enacted by Trump’s administration.
Musk’s involvement in government efficiency efforts has also sparked controversy. The House DOGE Caucus, initially bipartisan, is losing Democratic support as members accuse Musk of prioritizing personal interests. Despite criticism, Republicans continue backing Musk’s influence over federal reforms.
