The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released former Vice President Kamala Harris’s full interview with 60 Minutes. This comes after President Donald J. Trump filed a complaint against CBS News for deceptively editing the video and transcript of the interview to make her appear more cogent.
The video appears to prove President Trump’s accusations correct, with several rambling, “word salad” answers from Harris in the raw footage having been excised from the finished product.
A written transcript of the interview has also been released.

Two groups of agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) filed separate lawsuits on Tuesday in federal court seeking to bar President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice (DOJ) from attaining the names of agents involved in the January 6 Capitol riot prosecutions. The agents allege that they believe President Trump intends to make the identities of FBI employees who were assigned to the January 6 cases public, which they contend could place them and their families in danger.
“Plaintiffs are employees of the FBI who worked on Jan. 6 and/or Mar-a-Lago cases, and who have been informed that they are likely to be terminated in the very near future (the week of Feb. 3-9, 2025) for such activity,” one filing, on behalf of nine anonymous FBI employees as a class action lawsuit reads. It continues, claiming the plaintiffs represent the interests of “…at least 6,000 current and former F.B.I. agents and employees who participated in some manner in the investigation and prosecution of crimes and abuses of power by Donald Trump, or by those acting at his behest.”
The second case is being brought by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association on behalf of seven anonymous agents and seeks a restraining order against the DOJ’s acquisition of the list of agents who investigated the January 6 cases. Anti-Trump attorney Mark Zaid is the lead counsel for the plaintiffs.
Meanwhile, the Trump White House has not indicated that it intends to release the names of the FBI agents, despite the claims made in the lawsuits. So far, the only action taken has been a request by the DOJ for the FBI to hand over a list of agents involved as part of a broader department review of partisan lawfare actions undertaken by the previous Biden government.

President Donald J. Trump is signing a new executive order that will ban biological males from competing in women’s sports, press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Wednesday, February 5. Leavitt spoke at a White House press conference, stating the order was to defend the safety of female athletes and to uphold Title IX.
“This common-sense action from President Trump ends the disgusting betrayal of women and girls by the previous administration, who, for years, catered to radical activists who wanted biological males to be treated as women in workplace showers, competitive sports, prisons, and even rape shelters,” Leavitt said. “Gender ideology insanity is over,” she added.
The move came after President Trump signed an executive order shortly after his inauguration recognizing only two sexes, male and female.
The order has already been challenged by a transgender inmate currently residing in a women’s prison despite the inmate being biologically male. The lawsuit was initiated by inmate Maria Moe, who alleged the order intentionally discriminates against transgenders as it looks to both transfer biological males to men’s prisons and to halt federally subsidized sex changes. Some estimates suggest up to 15 percent of inmates in U.S. women’s federal prisons are biological males.
President Trump has also ordered a halt to the transitioning of minors, which includes both reassignment surgeries and hormone therapies. Despite this, leftist New York Attorney General Letitia James has ordered hospitals in her state to ignore the order and follow state law instead.

In a significant policy shift, Guatemala’s President Bernardo Arevalo announced on Wednesday that Guatemala will accept migrants from other countries who are being deported from the United States. This statement came after a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Guatemala City.
Under the newly established “safe third country” agreement, President Arevalo stated that these deportees would later be repatriated to their countries of origin, with the United States covering the costs of these returns.
If migrants fear they will not be able to stay in the U.S. ahead of their repatriation—potentially allowing them to disappear into hiding or acquire residency by having achild on U.S. soil or some other surreptitious means—many may be deterred from entering the U.S. in the first place.
Immigration, a key focus of the Trump administration, has dominated Secretary Rubio’s agenda during his inaugural foreign trips as the U.S.’s chief diplomat, spanning five Central American nations.
The deal with Guatemala follows another with El Salvador, headed by populist President Nayib Bukele, who had agreed to host violent criminals—U.S. citizens as well as criminal aliens—at his country’s CECOT mega-prison, where gang members have been incarcerated en masse as part of an anti-crime crusade that has reduced homicides by 98 percent.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is creating a “Weaponization Working Group” to review the lawfare cases brought against President Donald J. Trump prior to his reelection, to investigate whether they amounted to “politicized justice.” Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James will be the first to be reviewed, according to reports.
Bondi is issuing a memo warning, “When Justice Department attorneys refuse to faithfully carry out their role by, for example, refusing to advance good-faith arguments or declining to sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers,” and that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.”
Smith’s federal cases against Trump, centered on the America First leader’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and involvement in the unrest at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, both fell apart in shambolic fashion, with a judgefinding he had not even been constitutionally appointed.
Bragg’s highly dubious and novel state case against Trump, notionally concerned with so-called hush money payments, is the only one to have resulted in convictions—currently subject to appeal—despite even CNN judging it to be an “ill-conceived, unjustified mess.”
James’s civil fraud case was similarly dubious, relying on, among other things, an absurdly low valuation of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Appellate judges seem highly skeptical of the case, questioning its legal basis and apparent lack of precedent, as well as the enormous $454 million penalty handed down by Democrat donor judge Arthur Engoron, considering Trump’s offense of supposedly overvaluing his net worth during a loan application created no victims, with the loan paid off in full with no complaint by the bank involved.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is offering employees generous resignation packages as President Donald J. Trump’s administration seeks to downsize the federal government. The CIA has introduced a buyout program of “deferred resignation,” enabling employees to resign while continuing to receive pay through September of this year.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to reduce the federal bureaucracy, overseen by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Initially, national security-related agencies were partially excluded from the governmentwide offer, but CIA Director John Ratcliffe advocated for a tailored version for his agency’s personnel.
The CIA’s approach allows the agency to control the timing of accepted resignations, ensuring critical positions are not vacated simultaneously. The offer’s structure resembles the general program implemented across the federal government. Employees received an email on Tuesday outlining the chance to leave by September 30 but still receive pay for the intervening period. So far, the scheme has reduced the federal bureaucracy by around 20,000.
The effort aims to encourage long-serving CIA officers, especially those hired in the aftermath of 9/11, to consider early retirement. Ratcliffe hopes to phase out underperformers while creating advancement opportunities for promising mid-level officers currently blocked by longer-serving personnel.
President Trump first offered to buy out federal career employees after signing an executive order ending COVID-19-era work-from-home policies. Employees have until this Thursday to accept the offer, allowing them to work from home until the fall if they resign.

Betting patterns suggest that Donald Trump Jr.’s prospects of becoming U.S. President after the 2028 presidential election have significantly improved. Star Sports, a prominent bookmaker, reports 25/1 odds for Don Jr. to assume the presidency, up from just 66/1 immediately following the 2024 election in November.
Among Republicans, he is second only to J.D. Vance in popularity, with a poll by McLaughlin & Associates in late January finding 21 percent favor him to become 2028 candidate, against 27 percent for the Vice President.
President Donald J. Trump, 78, will likely be unable to pursue a third term unless the Constitution is amended, despite some in the corporate media panicking that he may try to circumvent the two-term limit through a constitutionally questionable process involving running for the vice presidency and having the person at the top of the ticket abdicate in his favor following their inauguration.
Unlike his sister, Ivanka Trump, and his sister-in-law, Lara Trump, Don Jr. has not taken formal positions in President Trump’s campaigns or administrations. However, he has increasingly emerged as a de facto representative of the America First movement to the official team and recently led something like an informal diplomatic mission to Greenland, which President Trump hopes to acquire.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that he is now willing to meet with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict between their countries. Zelensky told British journalist Piers Morgan on Tuesday that he is willing to talk face-to-face with President Putin if that is “the only way to achieve peace for Ukrainians and not lose people.”
For the first time, Zelensky admitted Ukraine cannot recover the territory it has lost to Russia and that it is unwise to “lose millions of people in pursuit of a result that may not come.” He suggested Ukraine can pivot to using diplomatic and political strategies to restore Ukrainian control over lost territories.
According to Zelensky, around 45,000 Ukrainians have died in the war, which began in February of 2022, and around 390,000 have been wounded. He claims that Russian casualties amount to 350,000 killed and as many as 700,000 wounded. However, Russia estimates Ukrainian casualties of up to one million while treating its own losses as classified.
Russia has described Zelensky’s statements on negotiations with Putin as “empty.” Still, it says it is open to talks and that contact with the U.S. government has increased since President Donald J. Trump replaced Joe Biden.
Russia has refused to recognize Zelensky since his term as president ended in May last year. Due to Ukraine’s martial law, there have been no new elections.

The United States federal government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the last two decades on corporate media subscriptions and secondary services new outlets provide, such as databases, newswire services, marketing tools, and media monitoring. While the payments are dubiously justified by claims that the subscriptions are necessary for productivity, critics contend that the government contracts look more like the government is directly funding the media. One of the more concerning instances is numerous contracts held by government agencies with POLITICO—which infamously and falsely declared the Hunter Biden laptop to be Russian disinformation, citing “[m]ore than 50 former senior intelligence officials.”
In the case of POLITICO, the outlet received $8.1 million in government payments through over 200 transactions. Most of the payments are from various federal departments and agencies paying for subscription fees, though some are for higher-cost products like databases, email distribution, and other services. Another major recipient of government payments is Thomson Reuters and its various subsidiaries. Combined, the network of Reuters media and business properties has received nearly $20 million in government payments in recent years.
A SUBSCRIPTION RACKET.
Increasingly, major corporate media outlets like POLITICO—which is owned by the German-based media company Axel Springer SE—and Thomson Reuters—a Canadian media conglomerate—are offering high-priced business and government subscription services. In exchange for the often five or even six-figure annual subscriptions, government officials and corporate executives are given access to databases, paywalled media stories, email distribution tools, market analysis, and public relations tools.
While corporate news outlets claim these tools are necessary for their subscribers, the practice actually appears to be intended to siphon taxpayer dollars through upselling relatively unused services. Critics note that in some instances, the databases that government subscribers are given access to are often just repackaged or better-organized government data.
THE LAPTOP FROM HELL.
Additionally, the reliance on government spending raises ethical concerns regarding the influence of news coverage. During the 2020 election, POLITICO served as the key instigator in a corporate media narrative that framed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. Underpinning their story is a lettersigned by over 50 American intelligence officials, which itself appears to have been coordinated by Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and other figures aligned with the Democratic Party.
Notably, the corporate media continued to insist the laptop and its content were part of a Russian influence operation even after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) quietly confirmed that the laptop’s content was authentic and belonged to Hunter Biden.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated an investigation into certain radio stations supported by billionaire plutocrat George Soros. These stations are under scrutiny for allegedly broadcasting live locations of undercover U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The investigation comes after a report highlighted that a group backed by Soros acquired over 200 Audacy radio stations, granting substantial media influence across more than 40 markets in the United States.
One of the stations under examination is KCBS 740 AM, located in San Francisco. The FCC’s inquiry focuses on the station’s broadcast, which revealed the locations of ICE agents involved in deportation operations in San Jose. According to sources, this disclosure included specific details about the undercover vehicles used by the agents.
In response, the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau has issued a formal Letter of Inquiry to KCBS, seeking to determine if the station violated its FCC license obligations. Such licenses mandate broadcasters to operate in the public interest. Broadcasting locations of agents could potentially endanger them, an action considered contrary to public safety objectives.
Commissioner Brendan Carr, appointed during the Trump administration, emphasized the risks posed to ICE agents from such broadcasts. Carr stressed the FCC’s dedication to enforcing compliance with public interest obligations, emphasizing the importance of ICE agents’ safety.
The ICE agents involved were reportedly handling operations in response to activities linked to violent gangs. Carr expressed gratitude for the work of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE personnel.
The FCC’s actions against KCBS will likely set a precedent for how broadcaster responsibilities are interpreted concerning public safety matters.
