Reorganization Act of 2025: Erasing FDR

They want to reverse the New Deal. Curtis Yarvin’s dream come true.

A bicameral bill has been introduced by the esteemed duo of Hunter hunter James Comer and “Based” 4chan Senator Mike Lee that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention, yet.

It will.

It was first put into motion by Comer in the House. It’s called the “Reorganizing Government Act of 2025,” which is a terrifying name when connected to this regime by itself but is also an intentional echo of the “Enabling Act” of 1933—the law that dealt the final blow to German democracy and gave Hitler dictatorial powers.

The Bill itself is annoying to read because it’s actually an amendment to Title 5, Chapter 9 of the US Code (which is no less annoying) but you can sort of infer the basics. They want the power to completely “reorganize” the federal government, including, as they make sure to amend several times, entire “executive departments.” [PDF]

A Brief History of American Reorganizing

The idea of a government “Reorganization Plan” was first put into law by Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 — with the Reorganization Act and “Reorganization Plan 1,” the beginning of which I’m including here because, well, it’s remarkable how different this president was from any other.

April 25, 1939

To the Congress:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (Public No. 19, 76th Congress, 1st Session), approved April 3,1939, I herewith transmit Reorganization Plan No. I, which, after investigation, I have prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Act; and I declare that with respect to each transfer, consolidation, or abolition made in Reorganization Plan No. I, I have found that such transfer, consolidation, or abolition is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes of Section 1(a) of the Act.

In these days of ruthless attempts to destroy democratic governments, it is baldly asserted that democracies must always be weak in order to be democratic at all; and that, therefore, it will be easy to crush all free states out of existence.

Confident in our Republic's 150 years of successful resistance to all subversive attempts upon it, whether from without or within, nevertheless we must be constantly alert to the importance of keeping the tools of American democracy up to date. It is our responsibility to make sure that the peoples' Government is in condition to carry out the peoples' will, promptly, effectively, without waste or lost motion.

Roosevelt was not afraid to use power in a way no Democratic president has since, and no Republican has until Trump.

I note here that Curtis Yarvin, co-founder of the “Dark Enlightenment,” who launders national socialist ideas for Peter Thiel, admires how FDR really did seize the power of the presidency in a way no one else ever has. Yarvin admires how the United States was basically a startup company with FDR as CEO.

The problem is that Yarvin, and this administration, wants to use the same power that FDR effectively created for himself to save America and then the world, to give themselves the power to destroy everything FDR did, including, frankly, FDR’s victory over the Nazis.

Harry Truman renewed the Reorganizing Act in 1949; it was included in Title 5, Chapter 9 of the US Code connected the Civil Rights in 1966; it was renewed again in 1977 by Jimmy Carter who submitted ten reorganization plans; and expired in 1984.

The key thing about the law that makes this so dangerous is that it only requires a simple majority to pass a reorganization plan. No filibuster is permitted. So Donald Trump can throw every horrific idea he wants into a series of “reorganization plans” which he can then get passed by a supine, Duma-like Congress.

He will be the anti-FDR. This is how they will destroy Social Security, Medicare, and the IRS if they have their way, not to mention codifying the destruction of the Department of Education, the EPA and other similar woke departments and agencies. Nothing has to go through the normal budgetary debate and process.

When Elon Musk first started pushing “DOGE,” he said he wanted to reduce the “total number of agencies to 99, just because that sounds good.

10/7/24:

Elon Musk believes that he can do to the federal government with DOGE what he did with other companies he took over and bent to his will.

The “Reorganizing Government Act of 2025” is currently being debated in the Oversight Committee. Rep. Melanie Stansbury appeared to be confused about the bill, or was playing a bit dumb, and asked Comer where the language to retain the power of Congress is.

The language she’s asking for isn’t there, it’s in Title 5, Chapter 9 which the bill is amending and renewing, but Comer appears to have no idea how to answer her question. This entire exchange is embarrassing, saddening, and frightening.

A big concern, of course, is that this will be portrayed as just another weird and wacky vote that no one will really understand until it’s too late to do anything about it. If this bill passes, along with a potential Insurrection Act and martial law in April, the power of this president to decimate everything good about America will be too big to stop. It will be 1933 all over again.

That popping sound is democracy. Get ready for a long, long fight.
