President Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE campaign is making haste to cut the waste in our federal government. Let’s hope they never stop. It’s about time! For the first time in 40 years, a Republican president with top-notch experts and intellectuals is making aggressive moves to stem to tide of financial profligacy in Washington to stop the spending, trim the fat, and cut the crap. 

Elon Musk called Thursday to “delete entire agencies” from the United States’ federal government. Musk has consolidated control over large swaths of the government with President Donald Trump ’s blessing since assuming leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. That’s included sidelining career officials, gaining access to sensitive databases and inviting a constitutional clash over the limits of presidential authority. Musk made the comments to the World Governments Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The U.S. State Department was expected to award Elon Musk’s Tesla a $400 million contract for armored vehicles, but the word “Tesla” was removed from the procurement document. The procurement document was revised to indicate an intent to purchase “armored electric vehicles” without specifically naming Tesla.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Musk would avoid conflicts of interest but did not provide details on how.

I would not put much stock in media coverage or political rhetoric suggesting that the federal courts are in revolt against President Trump and his efforts to rein in government size and spending. Undoubtedly, there are some progressive judges (mainly those appointed by Presidents Obama and Biden) who are philosophically sympathetic to claims that the president is interfering with the safe, professional operation of the administrative state -- as if the chief executive has no say in how executive agencies conduct business.

Government employees and civil servants have been encouraged by Democratic senators to act as whistleblowers against the Trump administration.

A Democratic Caucus letter sent by Senators Chuck Schumer and Gary Peters asks public servants to report "wrongdoing, abuse of power, and threats to public safety," according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the letter.

The Democratic Caucus has also created an online whistleblowing form for employees to report government "Retaliation, Wasteful Spending, Fraud, Criminal Activity, and/or Other."

For those keeping score, it’s Trump 1, Marcuse 0.

The Right just experienced its best three weeks in the culture war in 50 years.

A blitz of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump have taken dead aim at left-wing cultural priorities and pillars of the Left’s cultural influence.

Fashionable progressive ideas that have long been ascendant, including DEI and gender ideology, have received hammerblows since Trump’s inauguration, and there’s more to come.

Did President Trump order federal workers to remove pronouns from their email signatures? Several viral social media posts make this claim. “JUST IN: President Trump reportedly has ordered all federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures today,” reads one Instagram post with more than 13,000 likes. “BREAKING: Trump administration orders federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures by today at 5PM,” reads a similar post on Threads.

President Trump ordered federal agencies to jettison 10 regulations for every new one established, hearkening back to a move he made during his first stint in the White House. 

The president on Friday signed an executive order, dubbed “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,” that whenever an agency creates a rule, it must find 10 old rules, regulations or guidance documents to ditch.

The White House issued a memo Tuesday offering to pay federal workers who don't want to return to the office through Sept. 30, as long as they resign by Feb. 6.

Why it matters: The action, first reported by Axios, marks an acceleration in President Trump's already unprecedented purge of the federal workforce.

Driving the news: The Office of Personnel Management described the offer as administrative leave with pay and benefits.
