Rubio and Hegseth have installed this twenty-something DOGE affiliate, Nate Cavanaugh, as acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, per filing. Before DOGE took control of USIP, the duly appointed president was George Moose, a career diplomat who first joined the foreign service in 1967.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence." The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Trump changed drone strike rules of engagement to allow more civilian casualties. Under Bush (especially second term) and more so Obama, the move would've been to monitor this target and fire when he was away from civilian structures. Biden was stricter, significantly reducing drone strikes overall.

Let me get this straight. DOGE's cuts to the IRS are projected to cost us up to 10% in revenue this year. That's around $500 BILLION. DOGE just COST US $500 billion in a single year and we're still letting them run around acting like they're doing this to "save money"?

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
