Musk alleges FEMA reimbursed NYC hotels $59 million for housing illegal immigrants

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency alleged that the Biden administration spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars paying for “luxury hotels” in New York City, where thousands of illegal immigrants released into the United States from the southern border were housed. Musk said Monday morning on his social media platform X that his team just uncovered that the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched $59 million this past week to reimburse New York City for the massive amount of money it spent housing illegal immigrants that traveled to the sanctuary city during the Biden administration. “The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK ...

Trump directs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to ‘stop producing new pennies’

By Elizabeth Weibel | Breitbart President Donald Trump announced he had instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to have the Treasury Department stop making new pennies, explaining that it costs more than two cents to make them. “For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let’s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it’s a penny at a time.” Trump’s post comes after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) wrote in a post on X in January that the penny costs more than three cents to make and cost American taxpayers “over $179 million in FY2023.” READ TH...

Trump to hit imported steel and aluminum with 25% tariffs

By Simon Kent | Breitbart President Donald Trump will announce Monday new 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum entering the United States, including from Canada and Mexico. Canada and Mexico are two of the U.S.’s biggest steel trading partners, and Canada is the biggest supplier of aluminum metal into the country. UPI reports Trump told reporters Sunday aboard Air Force One of his plan by declaring, “Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25 percent tariff. Aluminum, too.” READ THE FULL STORY ON BREITBART

Democrats’ baseless attacks on Linda McMahon’s education experience fall a part with one look at her record

By Casey Ryan | Commentary, The Federalist A significant lie that opponents of President Donald Trump spew regarding his decision to nominate Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education is that she does not have enough experience in the subject matter. The National Education Association (NEA) claimed that she is “grossly unqualified” the same day Trump nominated her. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., blasted McMahon as “unqualified” the next day. These statements could not be further from the truth. While McMahon has garnered notable success shepherding World Wrestling Entertainment into a global phenomenon and leading the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Trump’s first term, she also has a proven track record as an advocate for education in her home state. Former Connec...

USAID funneled nearly $800 million to ‘gender transformative’ global censorship group

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist America’s foreign aid agency, USAID, has given nearly $800 million to a group that has pushed censorship and suppressed “heteronormativity” across the globe, according to documents reviewed by The Federalist.  The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) took in $799.7 million in fundingfrom 2015, per IRS tax documents.  According to InfluenceWatch, “The organization is solely funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).” As President Donald Trump pushes to “wind down” USAID — which has apparently become a massive “scam on U.S. taxpayers” — government funding disclosures have brought to light the often frivolous, and in this case nefarious, use of public tax dollars. As The Federalist previous...

Federal court blocks Trump admin from sending detained Venezuelan immigrants to Guantánamo Bay

By Landon Mion | Fox News A federal court on Sunday issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan immigrants held in New Mexico to the Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, detention camp as part of the president's efforts to remove illegal immigrants from the U.S. Lawyers for the trio said in a legal filing that the detainees "fit the profile of those the administration has prioritized for detention in Guantánamo, i.e. Venezuelan men detained in the El Paso area with (false) charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang." In the filing, the lawyers asked a U.S. District Court in New Mexico for a temporary restraining order to block the administration from flying them to the U.S. military base. The lawyers noted that "the mere...

Executive order calls for sweeping review of federal gun regulations in ‘protecting 2A rights’

By Benjamin S. Weiss  | Courthouse News President Donald Trump on Friday issued an executive order demanding a whole-of-government review of federal firearms regulations, a move which appeared aimed at papering over gun safety policies inked by the Joe Biden administration. But the Trump White House’s decree went further than simply undoing Biden’s legacy — its broad mandate invites the possibility of an even more expansive relaxation of federal gun rules. The executive order, issued Friday evening and entitled “Protecting Second Amendment Rights,” directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine a cornucopia of federal orders, regulations, guidance and international agreements to determine whether there are any “ongoing infringements” of constitutional gun rights.

Noem responds to Secret Service scrutiny as Trump to become 1st president to attend Super Bowl

By Danielle Wallace  | Fox News Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the U.S. Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting President Donald Trump while he makes history Sunday as the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Super Bowl.  The Secret Service falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security. Asked if she'd had sufficient time to get into the department and investigate the lapses leading up to the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Noem told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream that DHS was "moving in the right direction," while stressing that hundreds of other DHS personnel outside Secret Service alone would be deployed during the game.  "And I'm proud of Secret Service and all the work that th...

Forest Service defends Montana logging project in grizzly territory before Ninth Circuit

By Monique Merrill | Courthouse News The approval and subsequent court-ordered obstruction of the U.S. Forest Service’s “Black Ram Project” in Montana’s Kootenai National Forest is up for a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to sort out as the court heard from multiple sides on Thursday. The Center for Biological Diversity, Yaak Valley Forest Council and WildEarth Guardians sued the federal government days after it approved the Black Ram Project in the Three Rivers Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana in June 2022.  The project would “clearcut forest, destroy and fragment habitat, displace wildlife, alter hydrology and adversely affect the area’s tiny grizzly population,” the groups argue, rather than promote resilient vegetation,...

Bessent sets the record straight on ‘misinformation’ about DOGE’s work

By Leah Barkoukis | TownHall Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday addressed the "misinformation" being circulated about the work the Department of Government Efficiency is doing. In an interview with Bloomberg, Bessent said he vetted the Treasury employees tasked with accessing federal payment data, noting they have read-only access and are not “tinkering” with payment systems in any way. “It is an operational review. It is not an ideological review,” Bessent told Saleha Mohsin, according to Bloomberg. “The ability to change the system sits over at the Federal Reserve. We don’t even run the system.”  READ THE FULL STORY ON TOWNHALL
