DOGE Says FEMA Sent $59 Million to Migrant Hotels In Violation of Trump EO.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed that employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) gave at least $59 million last week to help illegal aliens remain in luxury New York City hotels. DOGE chief Elon Musk announced Monday, February 10, that it had uncovered the payments to luxury hotels, allegedly including the Roosevelt Hotel, which the Pakistani government owns through the state-run Pakistani Airlines.

“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!” Musk wrote on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

The money given by FEMA is just a small percentage of the overall cash spent to house migrants in luxury New York City hotels. According to reports last July, hotel bosses in the city have amassed over a billion dollars by converting their properties into migrant shelters.

In total, New York City has spent over $4.8 billion on the illegal migrant influx, with just under $2 billion spent on housing.

FEMA seems to be Elon Musk and his team’s latest target at DOGE. Last week, DOGE highlighted waste at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which includes millions spent on bizarre programs such as transgender operas. As a result, President Donald J. Trump and his administration have ordered the vast majority of USAID workers on leave, with just a fraction of essential employees remaining at the agency.

UK AG Negotiating Surrender of Strategic Islands Lobbied for Reparations, Hates ‘Racist’ British Empire.

The Attorney General of the United Kingdom has been revealed to be a woke ideologue who has called the British Empire thoroughly racist, fought for reparations, and supported climate change extremists like Just Stop Oil. Lord Richard Hermer, currently negotiating the surrender of British Indian Ocean Territory—which hosts a strategic U.S. base—to Mauritius, appeared on a podcast in 2022 where he argued, “Racism impacted almost every element of [the British Empire].”

“In order to buy into this notion of British exceptionalism, you can only do that if you ignore history,” he added.

Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary for the Conservative Party, commented on Lord Hermer, saying, “He’s pro-boycotting Israel, supports reparations, celebrates Just Stop Oil eco-zealots, and is anti-border controls. His far-left political views are a risk to our country’s security. He should be nowhere near the Government.”

Richard Tice, the deputy leader of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, added that Lord Helmer clearly “hates Britain” and called him a “danger to our country.”

Hermer has also acted on behalf of those who hate the British Empire, helping Kenyans claim millions of dollars in reparations in 2013. He also offered guidance to other former British colonies to help them seek British taxpayer cash.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour Party are well-known for embracing woke politics overall. Starmer took a knee for Black Lives Matter (BLM) in 2020 and has been accused of two-tier policing, cracking down on natives protesting mass migration far worse than Muslim rioters.

Insider Reveals ‘Chilling Details’ of Government Purge Operations and They Are HILARIOUS!

Career government employees are openly rebelling against President Donald J. Trump, the elected chief executive, over actions to end rampant waste, fraud, and duplicative programs. One staffer for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has gone so far as to issue a public missive that claims to reveal a government “purge” being executed by the Trump White House and Elon Musk, who heads up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is currently evaluating numerous agencies and their spending.

However, the evidence of the so-called “purge” only further justifies Trump’s actions, and some of the complaints are downright ridiculous.

“[S]ince President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a new email address has been set up at OPM and has been sending emails—after hours, on weekends, and sometimes more than once a day—that disparage the work of our fellow public servants and demand that they resign (or take mysterious ‘buyout plans’) or prepare to be fired,” the OPM employee writes under the pen name Annie Porter—which appears to be a reference to one of the protagonists in the 1994 film Speed and its sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control portrayed by actress Sandra Bullock.

AMERICANS BACK TRUMP OVER DEEP STATE. 

The idea that receiving emails after hours or on the weekend is tantamount to a political purge would likely strike most people in the private sector as at least hyperbolic, if not outright ludicrous. Additionally, the buyout plan is another measure that those who have held jobs outside of the government would likely be familiar with—companies looking to downsize or streamline their workforce engage in such actions as a normal course of business.

According to the OPM employee—who evidently has a penchant for campy 1990s action movies and/or Sandra Bullock—the buyouts and emails  are “being deployed in hopes of dismantling the federal government.” She continues, claiming: “We at OPM are just as frustrated, confused, and traumatized as the rest of America.”

However, public polling shows that most Americans have a favorable opinion of President Trump and approve of his actions to end waste, fraud, and abuse—as well as cutting government spending. The National Pulse has previously reported that nearly two-thirds of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance, and just shy of 50 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Trump—his highest rating ever—against 47.9 percent who say they disapprove.

Musk to Rehire Vance-Backed DOGE Employee Doxxed by WSJ.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has vowed to rehire Marko Elez, the 25-year-old who was the subject of a hit piece by a Wall Street Journal “reporter” who previously worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Musk posted a poll on his social media platform X asking users if he should rehire Elez.

The DOGE employee resigned after reporter Katherine Long tied him to a social media account that stated things like “normalize Indian hate.” Over 300,000 respondents to the poll overwhelmingly called for Elez to return.

Elez was supported by Vice President J.D. Vance, whose wife is Indian. “I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever,” he said.

Elez was tasked with looking at U.S. Treasury data and was given access to payments just a day before he resigned. He previously worked for Musk at SpaceX, Starlink, and X, as well as on artificial intelligence (AI) projects.

The posting of Elez came after DOGE exposed the millions of dollars wasted on bizarre projects by USAID, which President Donald J. Trump has already gutted, telling most of the 14,000-strong workforce globally they are now on leave.

President Trump later agreed with Vice President Vance, stating, “I’m with the Vice President,” when asked about the matter at the White House.

Unhinged Democrat FEC Chairwoman Refuses to Leave After Being Fired By Trump.

Ellen Weintraub, the Democrat Chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and outspoken critic of President Donald J. Trump, refuses to leave her office after being fired by the America First leader. First placed on the FEC in 2002 by President George W. Bush through a recess appointment to fill one of the Democratic Party seats on the Commission, Weintraub has served four terms as chair of the FEC, most recently being renamed to the position by former President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, President Trump issued a brief letter to Weintraub, informing her of her firing. “Dear Commissioner Weintraub, You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission effective immediately,” President Trump wrote. Notably, Weintraub has repeatedly denied and challenged President Trump’s assertions of election fraud and sought to use her position to instead investigate the America First leader—most recently over alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

In response, the Democrat chairwoman of the FEC declared in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of [the FEC]. There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.”

WEINTRAUB’S 23-YEAR REIGN.

The tenure of Weintraub on the FEC is one of the more controversial public appointments in the federal government, and her legal ability to hold her position has been disputed since 2007. Technically, the Democrat election commissioner’s appointment expired on April 30, 2007. However, successive presidential administrations and the U.S. Senate have either failed to nominate or confirm a successor, which has allowed Weintraub to remain on the FEC far past her term’s end date.

How Weintraub’s six-year term on the FEC dragged into a nearly 23-year reign results from how many federal commissions are structured. Commissions for government bodies like the FEC are not removed until their replacement is confirmed by the U.S. Senate. However, when it comes to nominating and appointing new FEC members, partisan politics has derailed the process in the U.S. Senate numerous times, leaving the six-person commission unable to reach a quorum and fulfill its duties.

Senate Confirmed, Russell Vought Begins Takeover of the OMB.

The U.S. Senate has finally confirmed President Donald J. Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Vought previously served as OMB deputy director and later director during the America First leader’s first term in office.

Democrats threw up some of their fiercest opposition to Vought, using several procedural moves in the Senate to delay his nomination in the hopes of derailing it. Vought is seen as not only one of Trump’s staunchest allies but also one of his most aggressive and effective lieutenants, charged with dismantling the “Deep State.” An architect of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, the new OMB director has a long history in Washington, D.C., policy circles, where he has a reputation as both an effective and fiercely conservative policymaker.

In one of the more bizarre moments in recent years, Vought holds a strange footnote in the documentation of Cassidy Hutchinson’s lies both before the January 6 Select Committee and in a book she authored. In her book, she recalls an incident where she claims former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows unwittingly drank alcohol. In her recollection, Hutchinson says that White House Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought was also present, identifying him as a “faithful Mormon.” The only issue is that Vought isn’t Mormon and has said so publicly.

Another incident during the 2024 presidential campaign saw Vought and several other Project 2025 figures clandestinely filmed by a United Kingdom-based far-left climate change activist group. Despite selective editing to attempt to scaremonger with the video, Vought articulately described how President Trump can use executive branch authorities to deport illegal immigrants and defund Planned Parenthood—both things Trump pledged to do on the campaign trail.

DOGE Doxxer Journo Is Former USAID Manager.

The journalist who doxxed a member of staff of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claiming they made racist remarks online, previously worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Katherine Long wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal this week, identifying Marko Elez, a 25-year-old member of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE team, as being behind deleted social media accounts that allegedly advocated racist positions. According to Long, Elez was behind an X account whose user joked about “normaliz[ing] Indian hate” and said they would not date outside of their ethnicity. Elez resigned from his position this week.

A short autobiography by Long from her time at the Seattle Times newspaper states, “Before matriculating at Columbia [University], I’d been working for the federal government, managing USAID projects in Central Asia.”

USAID has been a focus for DOGE in recent days, with Musk and his team revealing millions of dollars have been spent on bizarre projects, from transgender plays in Colombia to feeding al-Qaeda jihadists in Syria.

Long also previously worked for Business Insider and attempted to doxx online personality and health writer Raw Egg Nationalist (REN). She wrote a letter to local farm shops to pressure them into identifying REN. Just two weeks later, the George Soros-backed HOPE Not Hate organization publicly doxxed him.

Some have defended Elez, including Vice President J.D. Vance, who called for DOGE to bring him back.

“I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever,” Vance said on X.

WATCH: Democrat Lawmakers Try to Force Their Way Into Dept of Education.

A large group of Democrat Members of Congress attempted to force their way into the U.S. Department of Education on Friday despite not having a scheduled appointment with any official there. However, the lawmakers’ entry was blocked by a lone security officer who stood firm in front of the doors while Rep. Maxine Waters harassed him for his ID.

While Congress does have oversight power over the various executive branch government agencies, it is unusual for a lawmaker or lawmakers to just show up without an appointment or scheduled meeting. “We are not posing any threat here,” one of the Democrat lawmakers can be heard saying in the scrum of their predominantly elderly colleagues.

It is unclear what Democrats intended to do once they gained access to the building. One lawmaker can be heard pleading with the security officer that they just want to go “stand by the desk,” apparently admitting the political stunt was all for a photo opportunity. Notably, the U.S. Senate has yet to confirm President Donald J. Trump‘s nominee to serve as Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon. The current acting Secretary is Denise L. Carter, who normally serves as the principal deputy chief operating officer for Student Aid.

Only 294 Out of 14,000 USAID Personnel Identified as Actually Essential.

A review of staff at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has identified only 294 of the agency’s 14,000 employees as essential to administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. The internal review, originating from within USAID, appears to have been initiated by President Donald J. Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who is also currently serving as the agency’s acting director.

The essential status determination comes as Sec. Rubio has begun transferring the few core programs within USAID intended to serve U.S. national interests into the State Department—a move that suggests the just 63-year-old aid agency may soon be abolished. Meanwhile, The National Pulse reported Wednesday that President Trump is expected to place most USAID staff on leave on Friday. It is likely that the 294 workers deemed essential will be the few staff directed to remain at their posts.

Over the last week, USAID has come under much scrutiny after Elon Musk and the Department of Government Effiecity (DOGE) detailed the agency’s expenditures. The agency’s spending data reveals that nearly 90 percent of Ukrainian media relies on the U.S. federal aid agency to continue operating. Additionally, on Thursday, it was uncovered that the George Soros-funded East-West Management Institute has received $260 million in taxpayer money disbursed by USAID.

In its current form, USAID has taken to operating as if it were not a government entity funded by U.S. taxpayers, according to Sec. Rubio. This assertion is backed up by the former director of the agency, Mark Moyar, who alleges that many of its staff actively seek to undermine Trump and refuse to report corruption to protect their jobs.

First Details of President Trump’s New Tax Cut Plan Revealed.

The White House is rolling out an overview of President Donald J. Trump’s new tax cut proposal, which is expected to be soon introduced as legislation in Congress. On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt outlined the plan shortly after Trump met privately with Republican lawmakers who have been at an impasse over how to proceed with the legislation.

“So these are the tax priorities of the Trump administration that the President has laid out for Members in that meeting today,” Leavitt announced before listing off a series of overhauls to the tax code. According to Leavitt, President Trump expects the plan to include no tax on tips—noting that this was “a very public campaign promise the President made”—no tax on senior citizens’ social security, no tax on overtime pay, a renewal of the tax cuts enacted by Trump during his first term, an adjustment to the SALT cap, the elimination of special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners, closing the carried interest loophole, and new tax reductions for companies that locate their production in the United States.

CONGRESS DIVIDED? 

Two of the plan’s most contentious provisions will likely be the proposals to close the carried interest loophole and adjust the tax code’s SALT cap. The carried interest loophole results from the different tax treatment of interest on assets held over a certain period of time. If that interest is held for three years, it is treated as a long-term capital gain and taxed at a much lower rate than if it had been realized essentially as annual income. Changes to the loophole are fervently opposed by private equity, real estate, and hedge fund managers who use it to reduce their tax burdens.

Additionally, Congress appears divided on what changes should be made to the SALT cap, a provision allowing taxpayers to itemize as a deduction their state and local taxes on their federal income tax return. This provision is popular in high-tax states as it allows residents to offset that burden by reducing what they owe on the federal income tax. In 2017, President Trump capped the SALT deduction at just $10,000—significantly limiting the deduction individuals living in high-tax states can claim. However, the President has signaled he is open to lifting the cap, though some lawmakers want it abolished entirely.

Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill are also divided on how to amend the tax code to implement Trump’s proposed cuts. House and Senate Republican leaders are at odds on whether to tackle the tax cuts with border security funding and other priorities in one budget reconciliation bill or separate the cuts into their own budget measure, resulting in two bills.
