Government TVs Hacked, Displaying Gross Trump-Musk Video.

An artificial intelligence-altered video featuring President Donald J. Trump appeared on the television screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) cafeteria on Monday, causing shock and surprise among employees. The video displayed the phrase “Long Live the Real King” alongside digitally altered footage of Trump appearing to kiss Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk‘s feet.

The method by which the video was broadcast on the cafeteria’s screens remains unclear. HUD spokesman Kasey Lovett assured that an investigation is underway to hold responsible parties accountable. “Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Appropriate action will be taken for all involved,” Lovett said regarding the incident.

It appears likely the video was the work of a disgruntled federal employee who is lashing out following President Trump’s recent directive to the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to uncover and eliminate government waste, fraud, and abuse. The DOGE initiative has resulted in significant cuts to the federal government workforce, with some agencies—like the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—being almost totally shuttered.

Additionally, Musk has drawn further government worker ire after sending an email with the subject line “What did you do last week?” and demanding thousands of employees respond with approximately five bullet points of their achievements and to copy their manager. Musk warned in a post that failure to comply with these instructions would be “taken as a resignation.” The employees were given until the end of the day Monday to submit their responses.

Meanwhile, The National Pulse reported on Monday that President Trump’s job approval now sits at 52 percent, with voters overwhelmingly supporting his political agenda—including the DOGE efforts.

Vance Joined by UK in Snubbing Summit Declaration on ‘Inclusive’ AI.

Vice President J.D. Vance won the support of the British government when declining to sign a leaders’ declaration on “inclusive” artificial intelligence (AI) following a high-level AI summit in Paris. This followed Vance speaking out against EU digital regulations that could stifle a new “industrial revolution.” Notably, industry giants like Sam Altman’s OpenAI also stayed out of the agreement.

The summit, held at the Grand Palais, saw 61 signatories—including China, France, Germany, and India—agreeing on the importance of making AI “open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure, and trustworthy.” The statement also emphasized so-called human rights, gender equality, and linguistic diversity.

When asked why the U.S. and the United Kingdom refused to sign, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman stated, “We’ll only ever sign up to initiatives that are in the UK’s national interests.”

In his speech, Vance urged international partners to avoid deals with “authoritarian regimes,” such as China, asserting that AI must remain free from ideological bias. He emphasized, “American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship.”

Targeting the European Union (EU), Vance warned that excessive AI regulation could stifle a transformative industry. He also criticized the EU’s Digital Service Act, particularly its overregulation of speech and so-called misinformation.

“The massive regulations it created about taking down content and policing so-called misinformation. It is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the Internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation,” he argued.
