Donald J. Trump White House 2nd Term Page 4
Story by Rey Harris

Washington DC - President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly been fudging the numbers on how much they claim to be saving with their massive cuts.

According to The New York Times, the agency updated the Savings page on their website late Sunday night, erasing or altering more than 1,000 contracts that they previously claimed were canceled while adding about another 1,000 worth much smaller savings.

The deleted listings accounted for 40% of accounts, including five of the seven largest savings, added to the site's "Wall of Receipts" last week.
Why does Trump keep doing things that help Putin and Russia? Is Trump a Russian asset?


US authorities have stopped intelligence sharing with Ukraine, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed on Wednesday.

Following Washington suspending military aid to Kiev in the context of the Russian invasion of February 2022;  the US administration has decided to plunge Ukraine into darkness. This is the end of intelligence sharing with Kiev, which could seriously hamper the ability of the Ukrainian military to attack Russian forces.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly ready to lift sanctions on Russia imposed after the start of the full-scale invasion, in a reversal of U.S. policy toward Moscow during its war against Ukraine.

The White House is preparing a plan to potentially give Russia sanctions relief for several entities and Russian citizens as part of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, Reuters reported on March 3. The move is a stark shift from a sanctions policy by former President Joe Biden’s administration that included the “mother of all sanctions,”

Europe and the G7 nations want to keep sanctions to throttle Russia’s economy and continue to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin. They may have no other option than to follow Washington to maintain unity among Ukraine’s allies and avoid being a pariah in the global economy.

“The big revenue raising opportunities for Russia are still linked to business connected with Europe, and Europe can stand fast on that. But very quickly Europe would find itself marginalized,” said Tom Keatinge, director of the Center for Finance and Security at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a think tank.

Although the effectiveness of sanctions has been debated, they have clearly gotten under the skin of Putin, who has repeatedly called for their end. Sanctions, particularly on the oil and gas industry, have been a headache for Moscow, forcing it to resort to a shadow fleet to sell discounted fuel while incurring higher export costs.

Elon Musk says DOGE is rooting out fraud, but the Washington Post reports the agency has yet to identify much fraud. Washington Post columnist Philip Bump joins Katy Tur to explain more.
By law, only Congress can fully close federal agencies. But the department is already facing another 'very significant' workforce reduction, according to an email to staff sent last week.

WASHINGTON – A preliminary executive order prepared for President Donald Trump seeks to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education to "the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law," according to a draft reviewed by USA TODAY.

The order would direct Linda McMahon, the newly installed education secretary, to dismantle the agency she oversees. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on X that Trump won't sign an order Thursday, as some media outlets have reported, but she did not rule out action coming later.

A White House official told USA TODAY Trump is still examining his next steps toward a potential executive action and addressing the future of the Department of Education.

Late Wednesday night Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account and attempted to quell speculation about a comment he made to Chief Justice John Roberts following his speech to the nation on Tuesday night.

Multiple outlets reported on the exchange which was picked up on a hot mic, where the president told the jurist "Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” as he patted Roberts on the arm.

That has led to speculation that Trump was giving a late thanks to Roberts for penning the conservative-majority decision that granted Trump wide-ranging immunity for most all crimes past and future.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) is running government money straight into his business empire. No official paper trail confirms it, but the numbers tell their own story. Billions of dollars in government contracts are shifting toward SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla, while Elon sits at the center of it all—both as a White House adviser and the man behind the companies cashing in.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already locked in a deal with Starlink to upgrade the agency’s IT networks. Meanwhile, Starlink is also poised to grab a $2 billion contract for the nation’s air traffic communications system, a deal currently held by Verizon.

That’s not all—Tesla has been linked to a $400 million contract for armored electric vehicles, a number that’s far beyond the previous administration’s $483,000 budget for similar projects.

D.O.G.E scrubs billions in claims from its records
Elon’s D.O.G.E claims it’s saving taxpayers money, but the numbers on its “wall of receipts” keep changing. In just one week, the department erased $4 billion worth of savings it previously claimed, wiping or altering over 1,000 contracts from its public records. These weren’t small numbers—five of the seven biggest savings listed just vanished overnight.

Since February 19, the total amount D.O.G.E has claimed in government contract cuts has gone from $16 billion to less than $9 billion, according to an investigation from the NY Times. The DOGE.gov website is the only place where these cuts are publicly accounted for, yet it’s been littered with errors, duplicate claims, and numbers that don’t add up.
Trump Press Sec Accidentally Blurts Out Real Goal of His Tariff Scam

In his speech to Congress, President Trump kept lying about his tariffs, falsely claiming that Canada is letting huge amounts of fentanyl into our country and suggesting the trade wars will only get worse. Then press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters directly that if Canada wants to avoid tariffs in the future, it should become the fifty-first U.S. state.

Kiev will not be able to access the information that activated alerts for civilians to take shelter.

Donald Trump continues to distribute doses of arrogance and cruelty to his former Ukrainian ally. If last Monday it was the pause in the delivery of military equipment, which posed a worrying challenge for the troops in Kiev, now he has left them blind by cutting off the vital Intelligence collaboration that gave some advantage to the soldiers of the invaded country. In Ukraine, they wonder what to expect next from the country that had promised to stand by them "for as long as necessary."

The decision is terrible in military terms. Thanks to that Intelligence, Ukraine was able to know before many Russian generals that the Z troops were going to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022, giving Zelensky a chance to prepare a resistance that helped defeat the Russians around Kiev and Kharkiv, the two most important cities in the country. Putin responded on Wednesday to Zelensky's truce offer with an attack of 183 drones and three ballistic missiles across all of Ukraine.

Furthermore, now Ukraine will not be able to access the information that triggered its early warnings, such as the takeoff of bombers, drones, and missiles from Russian territory, which allowed warning Ukrainian civilians to take shelter. Now they will have to rely on their own radar equipment, much inferior in detection capabilities. Undoubtedly, this decision by the Trump Administration could lead to the deaths of civilians in Ukraine.

WASHINGTON ― The White House’s favored new reporter, the one who scolded Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit, was the primary voice at a “news” outlet that has taken $192,000 from President Donald Trump’s political committees, nearly half of which came while he was program director there.

Brian Glenn now works for a pro-Trump streaming platform called Real America’s Voice, but from September 2020 to May 2024, he was the most visible face at Right Side Broadcasting Network. Over those years, the outlet took $92,000 in “broadcast” fees, first from Trump’s Save America committee and then from Trump’s campaign, according to a HuffPost review of Federal Election Commission filings.

Glenn acknowledged the payments in a brief interview, describing them as “production” costs, and then pointed to the row of television cameras set up in the back of the White House briefing room.

“Who pays for them?” he asked, suggesting that the major networks like NBC, CNN and Fox also accept money from the entities they cover.

In fact, taking such payments would be considered a serious ethical breach among reputable news outlets. The television networks covering this and previous White Houses, as well as print and radio outlets, all pay their own expenses when covering political events, as does HuffPost.

Some US allies are considering reducing the amount of intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Donald Trump administration's conciliatory approach to Russia. They fear the transfer of data to Moscow, NBC News reports.

According to the sources, the allies are considering this step because of concerns about protecting foreign agents whose identities could be inadvertently revealed.

Every intelligence agency treats its obligations to foreign agents as sacrosanct, promising to ensure the agents' safety and conceal their identities. Anything that jeopardizes that commitment undermines trust, former officials say, and could lead some spy services to refrain from sharing information with Washington.

The sources said that allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and members of the so-called Five Eyes intelligence alliance, are exploring the possibility of revising current intelligence-sharing protocols to reflect the Trump administration's warming relations with Russia.

“Those discussions are already happening,” said a source with direct knowledge of the discussions. However, according to the sources, no decisions or actions have been taken.

According to the sources, the review is part of a broader examination of the range of relations with Washington among many US allies, including diplomacy, trade and military cooperation, as well as intelligence issues.

During Karoline Leavitt’s first official on-camera briefing as White House press secretary, she alleged that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Management and Budget “found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.”

It was supposed to be the first big “gotcha” from DOGE. But, as we know now, it was a lie. As Jeremy Konyndyk, the former director of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Foreign Disaster Assistance Office, told me recently, the U.S. government gets condoms for about 5 cents apiece. That means $50 million would buy a billion condoms, or roughly 467 for every Gaza resident. And according to a federal 2024 report, USAID didn’t provide or fund any condoms in the entire Middle East in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.

When asked about the false figure, Musk told reporters from the Oval Office “some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected ... nobody’s gonna bat a thousand” and admitted his agency would make mistakes “but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”

On Tuesday, Reuters released an analysis of what DOGE says are its results. Reuters audited the claims of so-called savings and waste on DOGE’s website and found that in “its latest update this week, DOGE either modified or removed more than 1,000 entries on its list, nearly half of the spending arrangements it had listed the week before.”

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump told a lot of lies during his joint address to Congress on Tuesday. There were small lies, there were big lies and then there was the “big lie.”

Trump used perhaps the largest stage in the country to carry out a coordinated campaign of blatant falsehoods to systematically burn down and destroy an American institution. Trump has used this playbook before. In 2020, he undermined the legitimacy of America’s free and fair elections. On Tuesday, he used it to undermine the legitimacy of America’s most important safety net for its citizens: Social Security.

There is a pattern to what Trump is doing and what he has goaded other Republicans into saying. It’s a deliberate attempt to alter reality, and it’s a pattern he established throughout the 2020 campaign and its aftermath, all the way up to Jan. 6 and beyond. Despite the fact his legal team was laughed out of court dozens of times, Trump was obsessed with convincing his fan base that the voting system in the U.S, which is the gold standard for free elections around the world, was shot through with fraud.

This wasn’t a new obsession. In 2016, even before votes were counted, Trump alleged that the election was “rigged” against him. He ultimately won the election and, of course, didn’t challenge that outcome. But once he lost in 2020, Trump went back to his old playbook, particularly the myth of dead people voting for Democrats. It had been a fringe right-wing talking point for years, but Trump elevated the lie to new prominence.
Donald Trump is giving us whiplash with his Russia stance.

Donald Trump threatened sanctions against Russia Friday—before getting right back to blaming Ukraine for the continued fighting there.

Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that he was “strongly considering” placing additional sanctions on Russia, referring to reports that the fighting was still ongoing in Ukraine—which he recently cut off from U.S. military aid and intelligence after clashing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week.

“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED,” Trump wrote. “To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!”

Trump’s feeble first attempt at intimidating Russian President Vladimir Putin into ending the war comes just days after the White House reportedly started making a list of sanctions on Russia that they could lift as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing negotiations to end the invasion of Ukraine. This included lifting sanctions on individuals such as Russian oligarchs, who Trump has insisted are “very nice people.”

Despite his supposedly tougher message to Russia on social media, Trump continued his capitulation to Putin during a press conference, downplaying Russia’s continued aggression toward Ukraine while finding a way to blame Ukraine for the fighting.
That is some BS if it was in a majority- white community they would not be dropping the lawsuit.

Story by MATTHEW DALY and MICHAEL PHILLIS

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Friday celebrated its decision to drop a federal lawsuit against a Louisiana petrochemical plant accused of worsening cancer risks for residents in a majority-Black community, saying the dismissal showed that officials are “delivering on President (Donald) Trump’s promise to dismantle radical DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs and restore integrity to federal enforcement efforts.”

The dismissal Wednesday of the two-year-old case underscored the Trump administration's commitment to “eliminate ideological overreach and restore impartial enforcement of federal laws,'' Justice said in a statement.

At the same time, the Environmental Protection Agency withdrew its formal referral of the case to the Justice Department. The agency said the action aligns with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s pledge to end the use of “environmental justice” as an enforcement tool that Zeldin was too often used to advance liberal ideological priorities.
The gathering threw its support behind a plan to rebuild Gaza put forward by Egypt and backed by Arab states.

Foreign ministers from Muslim nations on Saturday rejected calls by U.S. President Donald Trump to empty the Gaza Strip of its Palestinian population and backed a plan for an administrative committee of Palestinians to govern the territory to allow reconstruction to go ahead.

Meanwhile, Hamas reported “positive signals” in talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on starting negotiations on the delayed second phase of its ceasefire deal with Israel. Spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua gave no details, but said the group is willing to start talks and its delegation has been discussing the means to do so.

The foreign ministers gathered in Saudi Arabia for a special session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to address the situation in Gaza while the 7-week-old ceasefire has been thrown into doubt. Its second phase is meant to bring the release of remaining hostages, a lasting truce and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

The gathering threw its support behind a plan to rebuild Gaza put forward by Egypt and backed by Arab states, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan, aimed at countering Trump’s call. The OIC has 57 nations with largely Muslim populations.

Without specifically mentioning Trump, the ministers’ statement said they rejected “plans aimed at displacing the Palestinian people individually or collectively … as ethnic cleansing, a grave violation of international law and a crime against humanity.”

They also condemned “policies of starvation” that they said aim to push Palestinians to leave, a likely reference to Israel’s cutting off all supplies to Gaza in the past week as it presses Hamas to instead extend the ceasefire’s first phase.

Elon Musk's supposedly "anti-woke" chatbot, Grok, keeps spewing outputs that are hilariously opposed to the billionaire's views — including that newly-minted President Donald Trump is likely a Russian asset.

Responding to a prompt from Arizona Republic columnist EJ Montini, Musk's "maximally truth-seeking" AI, which is built into X, said after an analysis that the probability of the president being in the pocket of Vladimir Putin is between 75 and 85 percent.

After Montini asked Grok to rate on a scale from 1 to 100 that Trump is a "Putin compromised asset" based on public information and his "failure to ever say anything negative" about the Russian president, the chatbot went to work analyzing a "complex web of financial ties, personal interactions, political behavior, and circumstantial evidence."

Employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), overseen by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, are reportedly drawing substantial salaries while they are downsizing federal agencies., according to a recent WIRED report. Jeremy Lewin, involved in dismantling USAID through DOGE, earns over $167,000 annually, while Kyle Schutt, a DOGE software engineer at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, draws a maximum federal employee salary of $195,200 annually, the report said.

An investigative report revealed at least one DOGE employee is making $195,200—the maximum salary allowed for a federal employee.

CNN — President Donald Trump’s blanket 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada took effect on Tuesday, an extraordinary action aimed at bringing America’s top trading partners to heel. But it threatens to weaken the North American economy, including that of the United States, at a time of significant stress for inflation-weary consumers.

Trump also doubled the tariff on all Chinese imports to 20% from 10%. Those duties sit atop existing tariffs on hundreds of billions in Chinese goods. China and Canada immediately retaliated with tariffs on American goods, threatening to ignite a damaging trade war. Mexico said it would announce retaliatory measures Sunday.

The Trump administration said the tariffs were necessary to stem the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

“While President Trump gave both Canada and Mexico ample opportunity to curb the dangerous cartel activity and influx of lethal drugs flowing into our country, they have failed to adequately address the situation,” according to a statement released by the White House shortly before the tariffs took effect.

But the tariffs come at a time when inflation remains stubbornly high. Americans, and the US economy as a whole, are on shakier ground, as evidenced by recent data.

Many MAGA Republicans vehemently criticize liberals and progressives for language policing, often mocking "woke" terms like "Latinx" and "pregnant people." And some Americans who vote Democratic are critical of "woke" language as well: "Real Time" host Bill Maher and veteran Democratic strategist James Carville argue that it's ridiculous for Democrats to say "Latinx" when the vast majority of Latinos don't use that word.

But language policing exists in the MAGA movement as well.

In an article published on March 7, New York Times journalists Karen Yourish, Annie Daniel, Saurabh Datar, Isaac White and Lazaro Gamio list some of the many words and terms that the Trump Administration is urging government workers to limit or avoid in their communications.
