Is ‘cancel culture’ cancelled?

An inquiry from the Wall Street Journal into a social media
account linked to a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
staffer led to the employee’s resignation from the Elon Musk-led
agency. Following an impromptu Twitter poll from Musk and support
from Vice President JD Vance, the employee was welcomed back into
DOGE. Is the re-hiring a blow against “cancel culture,” or is an
empowered right playing a similar game but with new rules?


On the first day of Donald Trump’s second term, he withdrew the
United States from the Paris Climate Accord via executive order.
He made a similar move in 2017, which drew international
backlash, largely on moral grounds. This time around, people
worldwide expected the move and gave a more subdued response.
Will a revised argument from climate activists break through to
conservative leadership in the States?


The president also issued executive orders that ended the
printing of pennies and federal efforts to embrace paper straws.
Though popular, are these actions timely?
