Keisean Raines isn’t holding back. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to let Donald Trump move forward with a sweeping executive order to restructure — and potentially gut — federal agencies without Congress, the self-described “Calm Coach” is anything but calm.
“This isn’t efficiency,” Raines said in a pointed social media post. “This is about control. It’s about dismantling systems without accountability and without the people’s voice in the room.”
The Court’s 8–1 ruling allows Trump’s newly minted Department of Government Efficiency to begin making layoffs in major agencies — from Education to Health & Human Services — immediately, even as legal challenges continue. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the lone dissenter, warned the move “hands the keys to unchecked power.”
Raines echoed that concern, noting that the people most impacted aren’t political operatives — they’re everyday workers and families.
“When you strip away the departments that handle education, healthcare, and housing, you’re not trimming fat, you’re cutting into muscle. And it’s the people who bleed,” she wrote.
Her commentary comes as critics warn that the executive order could ripple through communities nationwide, delaying Social Security checks, reducing food safety oversight, and slowing disaster response.
For Raines, the issue goes beyond politics.
“We can’t sit by while leaders use the word ‘efficiency’ as a weapon to dismantle what protects us. That’s not leadership — that’s control,” she said.
