Sadly, I think he (or his handler in Moscow) has sufficient kompromat on those very few people to keep them quiet.
Most likely, yeah. Hopefully they see sense in four years and have the ability to do something about it still.
35 senators, & all 435 representatives are up for re-election in November 2026. Campaigning will likely begin next February. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_elections
I'm betting, however, that Trump and Project 2025 won't quite have done enough damage that anyone will go out and vote blue in sufficient number that it's irrefutable
So Trump has appointed Matt Gaetz (yes the sex trafficking congressman) as Attorney General, Pete Hegseth (former rabid Fox host) as Defense Secretary and Kristi Noem (self-confessed puppy killer, because why put the effort into training your dog when you have a gun to hand) as head of Homeland Security. The cherry on the cake? Melon Husk as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Yes, the acronym is DOGE. This is just... I dunno. Nuts. Absolutely ****ing bonkers. Perhaps like a modern day conversation between Vladimir and Estragon. I'm lost.
Most of those are subject to Senate confirmation in January. Thankfully some more level-headed Republican senators are already publicly expressing just how unfit those nominees are… But they do have a majority in the Senate, so there’s still a good chance that some of the lunatics will indeed be allowed to run the asylum.

...and they'll nod them through. InfoWars owned by The Onion... will any of the audience notice the difference?
Is it just me seeing things in an odd way or, has Trump picked a health secretary, who doesn't believe in health?
He has claimed, in the past, to be explicitly pro-vaccine, and says that all his kids are vaccinated. He says he simply believes they should be more thoroughly tested. Then spends a lot of his time... err, promoting vaccine conspiracies and anti-vaccination viewpoints. And, err, chairs Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine advocacy group that claims thimerosal in vaccines causes autism. And ADHD. And food allergies, and cancer, and various autoimmune diseases. And that we shouldn't fluoridate drinking water. Or take paracetamol. Or use aluminium. Or... wireless communication systems, including 5G. Yes, RFK is anti-radio. You heard it here first. Fun fact, though maybe not for fans of the actor: he also gave a press conference at the National Press Club in 2017 with Robert De Niro, in which the pair said the press was working for the vaccination industry. Oh, and spent an hour talking about how dangerous the COVID-19 vaccines are with Alec Baldwin, if you need another actor to feel disappointed in. He's also an HIV/AIDS denialist, to add a little spice to the mix, and in his book The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the War on Democracy and Public Health (no, really, that's the title) sticks a toe over the line of germ theory denial. Oh, oh, forgot one: he's also the guy behind the "chemicals in the water are turning the frickin' frogs gay" meme, after bringing up the topic in a Jordan Peterson interview. That was eventually taken down. And in August this year stated that he pledged to stop the crime of chemtrails. Yes, chemtrails. The condensation trails left by planes, that he believes are deliberately-dumped chemicals designed to mind-control the population. Though all of this may be explained by the fact that RFK had literal brain worms.
JFK also helped mess up Samoa re vaccinations for measles. Lack in uptake then ended up with dead kids. Unfortunately I can see similar happening in the US but on a larger scale.
The 'super year' of elections has been super bad for incumbents as voters punish them in droves | AP News The above does worry me that we're due for a decade or so of single term governments flip-flopping one way then the other, never able to see any infrastructure or anything through completely before the incoming government unravels it all again.
