There's Actually an Incredibly Easy Way for Elon Musk to Trim $2 Trillion of Government Spending: Cut Funding for Nuclear Weapons

Easy As Pie Can we all agree that nuclear warfare is bad? Yes? Well, do we have an easy way that Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency can do their jobs Instead of gutting education and health agencies, the First Buddy and his DOGE lackeys could spare us all the noise and drawn-out drama and simply cut off the US's exorbitant, multi-trillion dollar nuclear weapons program. As The Scientific American opines, this would almost single-handedly achieve Musk's promise that h

Bye Felicia A 25-year-old staffer for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has resigned after the Wall Street Journal reached out to the White House over incredibly racist social media posts linked to him.

Pro-Trump Arab American group changes its name after the president's Gaza 'Riviera' comments

A group that played a key role in Donald Trump’s voter outreach to the Arab American community alongside his allies is rebranding itself after the president said that the U.S. would “take over” the Gaza Strip. Bishara Bahbah, chairman of the group formerly known as Arab Americans for Trump, said during a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday that the group would now be called Arab Americans for Peace. The name change came after Trump held a Tuesday press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Kennedy Jr, squeaked through a crucial vote in his confirmation bid on Tuesday as senators advanced his nomination to the floor. The Senate confirmed former congressman Doug Collins -- no relation of the senator -- as secretary of Veterans Affairs on Tuesday, a day after approving fracking executive Chris Wright to lead the Energy Department.

Opinion: Trump Is Already Headed For His Napoleon Moment, and Not in a Good Way

Just down the road from the petite Airbnb in which I’m currently staying on the outskirts of Paris is the home of Alexander Dumas, who wrote The Count of Monte Cristo. That novel takes place during Napoleon’s escape from exile and his return to power, a comeback which lasted a scant 115 days before a Prussian/British coalition defeated him for good at Waterloo. In 2025, our own little tyrant has re-emerged from his own exile. The early returns have not been promising. I am not going to honor Don

Trump Wants Ballroom to Turn White House Into Mar-a-Lago

Donald Trump has vowed to build a $100 million ballroom in the White House – the first major renovation to the presidential mansion in over 70 years. Trump said he is good at building party rooms – the glitzy Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom takes pride of place at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. Countering any suggestion that a ballroom would be an indulgence while Elon Musk’s DOGE team is stripping federal budgets, Trump said he would pick up the tab for the ambitious project himself.

The law typically doesn’t allow noncitizen

Saudi Arabia, in swift response to Trump, says no ties with Israel without Palestinian state

CAIRO (Reuters) -Saudi Arabia said it would not establish ties with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state, contradicting President Donald Trump's claim that Riyadh was not demanding a Palestinian homeland when he said the U.S. wants to take over the Gaza Strip. In a shocking announcement, Trump said on Tuesday the United States would take over the war-ravaged enclave after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere and develop it economically. Saudi Arabia rejects any attempts to displace the Palestinians from their land, Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that its stance towards the Palestinians is not negotiable.

Trump administration will consider redrawing boundaries of national monuments as part of energy push

As part of the Trump administration’s push to expand U.S. energy production, federal officials will review and consider redrawing the boundaries of national monuments created under previous presidents to protect unique landscapes and cultural resources.
