The most clarifying document I've seen from the Trump era isn't a policy memo. It's a deposition clip of a DOGE staffer who can't define the word he used to cancel $100 million in history research.

Justin Fox compiled a list he called the "craziest" grants—flagging projects with keywords like "tribal," "melting pot," "immigration," and "equality." He planned to post the list publicly on DOGE's X account. In the deposition, he acknowledged: "crazy is one way of saying it. Most incriminating is another."

Most incriminating. His words.
