Elon Musk says his DOGE team found out on Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sent payments of $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal aliens. Musk is now demanding that FEMA, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), push a clawback demand. It's unclear if the demand will be met, but if it is, FEMA would be able to recuperate the millions in already-distributed funds. "Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!" Elon Musk

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has canceled over $180 million in contracts from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These contacts were entirely for administrative expenses - none touched any healthcare programs. This included terminating a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit at the NIH museum.

President Trump says he will announce on Monday that the United States will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico. He also reaffirmed that he would announce reciprocal tariffs, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, meaning that the U.S. would impose import duties on products in cases where another country has levied duties on U.S. goods. “If they are charging us 130% and we’re charging them nothing, it’s not going to stay that way.”

Very enlightening about JD Vance. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html

President Trump has cancelled the security clearances of former secretary of state Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, former national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14376597/Trump-strips-security-clearances-Anthony-Blinken-Letitia-James-Alvin-Bragg-including-humiliating-ban-entering-federal-buildings.html

I never saw this before. Amazing. .

President Trump says Biden will no longer receive classified intelligence briefings. “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/07/trump-biden-security-briefings-00203232

Congressman Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has introduced the "End The Deep State Act" this week to make it easier for President Trump to fire high-level officials who undermine his policies. A recent executive order makes policy-influencing positions within the administration directly accountable to the president, and therefore, the American people. Trump's administration implemented a similar policy during his first term, but it was undone by Biden, who then implemented a rule to make it more difficult for presidents to fire policy-influencing government employees. Ogles says "This will give the president the latitude to simply hold people accountable. You can't embed yourself into the deep state, into the bureaucracy, and then simply serve as a detractor and a disruptor for the incoming administration. There is a level of employee within the federal government that's working against Americans, hard working Americans every single day, and they're untouchable. This fixes that. This creates accountability." For years, republicans have complained about outsized power held by veteran federal bureaucrats working to advance their own objectives and not those of the president or elected officials.

Just announced: the tax priorities of the Trump administration: No tax on tips No tax on seniors’ Social Security No tax on overtime pay Renewing the Trump Tax Cuts Adjusting the state & local tax (SALT) cap Eliminating special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners Closing the carried interest loophole Tax cuts for "Made in America" projects “This will be the largest tax cut in history for middle class working Americans.”

The democrats and democrat benefactors continue their attempt at characterizing the Trump administration as a group of dangerous out-of-control renegades that will cause the country to implode at any moment. But the Trump team continues to respond in a calm and professional manner. From Bessent to Homan, the Trump team is simply and transparently fulfilling the President's campaign commitments to the American people.

A must watch. .

President Trump's peace plan for Ukraine has been leaked. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky would agree to a ceasefire with Russia by Easter. A ceasefire by April 20 that would freeze Russia's steady advance, a ban on Ukraine from joining NATO, and a demand for Kyiv to accept Russian sovereignty on annexed land. Ukrainian troops would leave Russia's Kursk region, and a contingent of European soldiers would police a demilitarised zone. American troops will not be involved. The EU would assist Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts. One estimate is $486 billion over the next decade. The peace plan would begin with a phone call between Zelensky and Russian President Putin in early February, a meeting between the two leaders in late February to early March, and an official ceasefire by April 20. A declaration on the agreed parameters for ending the war would be released by May 9, after which Kyiv would be asked not to extend martial law or mobilize troops. President Trump is reportedly planning on continuing American support for Ukraine's military, as well as a pathway for it to join the EU by 2030.

I heard a comment today. No, Musk was not elected. But Soros wasn't elected either, and the Democrats never complained about him.
