Trump to sign order to potentially toss entire agencies — while reducing federal work force to ‘essential’ jobs only

WASHINGTON — President Trump is set to sign an order Tuesday instructing the Department of Government Efficiency to potentially toss entire federal agencies — and hire only one federal worker to replace every four who leave.

DOGE will ask agency heads to coordinate with the team being lead by Elon Musk and “shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions,” according to a fact sheet on the executive order obtained by The Post. Entire agencies and part of agencies may be eliminated because their functions aren’t required by law, says the readout, first obtained by Semafor. Personnel relating to national security, public safety, law enforcement and immigration enforcement are exempt from the order.

DOGE Investigating Feds Whose Net Worths Have Exploded After Samantha Power Bombshell

DOGE head Elon Musk said on Tuesday that DOGE is going to investigate federal employees whose net worths have exploded despite their comparatively low pay.

The announcement - which came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to work with DOGE, follows a bombshell report that Samantha Power, former head of USAID, saw her net worth explode to $30 million despite an annual salary under $250,000. "We don't know why. Where did it come from? I think the reality is that they're getting wealthy at the taxpayer expense," Musk said on Tuesday.

It is now under review and investigation,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “THE BIDEN RUN FEMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER. FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED! IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC., AS THEY COME. BIG SAVINGS, FAR MORE EFFICIENT!!!”

Caught on Tape: EPA Advisor Admits Agency Hastily Allocated Billions in Climate Change Funds Before Trump Took Office

An EPA advisor was exposed in a Project Veritas undercover video admitting that the agency rushed to allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to climate change initiatives just before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Brent Efron, a special advisor at the EPA and instrumental in implementing Biden’s climate agenda, spoke to a Project Veritas operative about the rush to disburse funds two months before Trump’s inauguration. “Now it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … It truly feels like we’re on the Titanic or throwing gold bar off the top edge.,” Efron said. Under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, which Efron referred to as “Biden’s climate law,” over $100 billion was allocated for various environmental projects.

President Donald J. Trump’s border czar shot back at recent statements from Pope Francis, calling the Pope to fix the Catholic Church before criticizing U.S. immigration policies.

“He ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us,” Tom Homan said, noting that he is Catholic himself. “He wants to attack us securing our border?

OTTAWA — After slapping 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum, U.S. President Donald Trump is now threatening to cripple Canada’s auto industry with tariffs of up to 100 per cent. In an interview with FOX News that aired on Monday, Trump said Canada has a “very big car industry” and falsely accused the country of having stolen it from the United States. “They stole it because our people were asleep at the wheel,” he said. “If we don’t make a deal with Canada, we’re going to put a big tariff on cars. Could be 50 or 100 per cent because we don’t want their cars. We want to make the cars in Detroit.”

Former Mountie Kevin Brosseau named fentanyl czar in reply to Trump's tariff threats

OTTAWA — The Liberal government has named Kevin Brosseau, a former senior Mountie, to be the federal point person on fighting the spread of deadly fentanyl.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Brosseau’s role as fentanyl czar will involve working closely with U.S. counterparts to accelerate Canada’s efforts to detect, disrupt and dismantle the illicit trade in the drug. During his more than 20 years in the RCMP, Brosseau served as a deputy commissioner and the senior Mountie in Manitoba. More recently, he was deputy national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister. U.S. President Donald Trump recently threatened to impose steep tariffs on all goods from Canada, citing the southbound flow of migrants and drugs, including fentanyl.

How USAID funded terror states which killed US soldiers

USAID sent $9.3B to Islamic terror states that killed 3,000 American soldiers. And over $18 billion to Islamic terrorist states. Op-ed.

“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally protesting the reconstruction of USAID. It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia. Over the last two years, USAID doled out $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia.

President Donald Trump told Jordan's King Abdullah that the US is going "to take Gaza" in a meeting between the two on Tuesday.

Egypt offers 'comprehensive proposal' to rebuild Gaza after refusing refugees

Egypt's statement comes as Trump continues to press for his plan to take over the Gaza Strip and resettle its population to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt plans to offer a "comprehensive proposal" to rebuild Gaza while ensuring Palestinians remain on their land, according to a foreign ministry statement on Tuesday.

Jared Kushner takes on major role in Trump's White House with Gaza takeover as Ivanka stays on sidelines

Signs indicate Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner could be taking on a more prominent role in Middle East relations in the second administration.

Kushner initially said last February that he would not have a White House role in a second term after serving as a senior adviser to Trump the last time around. But when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington, D.C., last week for meetings with Trump, he also privately huddled with Kushner, according to Axios. Bibi and Kushner discussed the U.S. president's recently proposed plans to rebuild Gaza, detailed two sources with knowledge of the meeting. They also discussed other matters related to Israeli and Middle East relations.

The premier said that the security cabinet “welcomed [US President Donald] Trump’s demand for the release of our hostages by Saturday noon, and we all also welcomed the president’s revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza.”

Iran's envoy to the United Nations has condemned Donald Trump’s threat to use force against the Islamic Republic, warning that any act of aggression will have severe consequences for which the US will bear full responsibility.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran firmly rejects and condemns this reckless threat," Iran's permanent ambassador to the UN Amir-Saeid Iravani said in a Tuesday letter to the UN Security Council. In his letter, he cited Trump's interviews with The New York Post, in which he said he would prefer a deal with Iran to "bombing the hell out of it." Trump also told Fox News "there are two ways to stop Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon: ‘With bombs or with a written piece of paper’."

Khamenei 'foolish' to reject US talks and Trump is no paper tiger, senators say

Iran's Supreme Leader is unwise to dismiss nuclear talks with the United States and President Donald Trump will bring a muscular approach to confronting its Mideast foe, two US senators told Iran International on Tuesday.

Asked about Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's characterization of any negotiations with Washington over Tehran's disputed nuclear program as unwise, Republican Senator Rick Scott said, "I think he's foolish." "If you look at everything he's been trying to do, it's failed," the Florida Senator said at the sidelines of a bipartisan luncheon, citing setbacks to Iran's network of militant allies in the region at the hands of Israel's US-armed military.

Ukraine holds parts of Kursk, but the Kremlin is already shrugging off proposal...

Zelensky said in comments published Tuesday that he's ready to swap territory with Russia as part of a deal to end the war. He described that if President Trump gets the warring sides to the negotiating table, "We will swap one territory for another." The Ukrainian leader when asked in The Guardian interview precisely which territories Kiev would demand back, he responded: "I don’t know, we will see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority." Obviously he has the four annexed eastern territories in mind.

Will the Federal Reserve Blame Tariffs for the Price Inflation the Fed Creates?

Price inflation is rising, but it has nothing to do with tariffs. It has everything to do with the Fed’s policy and the Treasury’s uncontrolled spending.

The Core PCE Price Index, which excludes food and energy, rose by 0.2 percent this month and remains stubbornly high at 2.8 percent annualized. The headline PCE Price Index increased by 0.3 percent, the first 0.3 percent monthly increase in eight months. This has pushed the annualized increase to 2.55 percent, the highest in seven months. Obviously, this price inflation trend has nothing to do with tariffs but with the fact that government spending soared 10 percent in 2024, and money supply growth is at a two-year-high.

'Mind-Controlling' Fungus Turns Spiders Into 'Zombies'

Scientists have discovered a fungal species that infects spiders and appears to control their behavior, compelling them to leave their usual hiding places before succumbing to the deadly infection.

Found in caves across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Gibellula attenboroughii—named after naturalist Sir David Attenborough—adds to the growing list of fungi capable of manipulating their hosts. The discovery raises questions about how fungi can alter animal behavior and what implications such mind-controlling mechanisms may have for science.
