Some 75,000 federal employees have accepted the Trump administration’s voluntary buyout offer and the Trump administration is ramping up the firings of various groups of federal workers as well, from ineffective inspectors general to partisan U.S. Attorneys, and possibly whole wasteful agencies whenever the case can be made and its legality confirmed.
The American Left is horrified by this sudden activity. Normally, it’s only Democrat presidents who move this quickly, and of course, they move in the opposite direction. This wasn’t expected; they thought they could keep President Trump on his heels, stymied from most of the actions that he was elected to do, as in his first term.

Update (1524ET):
Elon Musk was expected to remain offline Sunday night into Monday morning as his xAI team prepared for the highly anticipated debut of “Grok 3,” scheduled for release Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST. However, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with streamlining the federal bureaucracy, returned very excited to his social media platform around midnight, unveiling what “might be the biggest fraud in history.”
Rewriting history. Color me shocked. https://t.co/et3AQdil7W

The activist judge that blocked President Trump from abolishing USAID has been exposed as a recipient of USAID funding.
Judge Jack McConnell received a whopping $117.6 million in government funding, according to newly leaked documents.
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: Maybe that’s why he wanted the money to keep flowing. He’s expecting several more million this year!

Presentations in Europe last week by Defense Secretary Hegseth and Vice President Vance left European officials “gobsmacked”, according to Foreign Policy magazine. Those speeches were preceded by a phone call between Trump and Putin, and followed by a call between Secretary of State Rubio and Sergei Lavrov. Taken as a whole, they are evidence that we have entered a new era — in which a return to diplomacy, which was rejected by Biden — now makes peace possible.

As DOGE slashed 3,600 HHS employees over the weekend, industry insiders and federal workers are referring to DOGE’s most recent firings as the “The Valentines Day Massacre.”
February 17, 2025: Fierce Healthcare reported that mass Health & Human Services (HHS) firings began on February 13th at the Department of Veteran’s affairs before extending to nearly every division of HHS by the end of the weekend.
On Valentine’s Day, NPR reported that Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department Of Government Efficiency) terminated 1,500 employees from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) and 1,300 CDC (Centers for Disease Control) employees (or about 10% of CDC staff).

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared Monday that it is “now or never” for nations to finalize a global pandemic accord, warning that the world cannot afford to delay preparations for future health crises. His remarks come just days after President Donald Trump formally withdrew the United States from the agreement negotiations, signaling a major shift in U.S. global health policy.
Speaking at the opening of the 13th round of negotiations in Geneva, Tedros emphasized the urgency of reaching an agreement before the World Health Assembly in May. “It really is a case of now or never. But I am confident that you will choose ‘now’ because you know what is at stake,” he said.
from RAIR Foundation:
The DOGE investigations have shattered long-dismissed claims that USAID is funneling American taxpayer dollars to terrorist organizations. What was once labeled “conspiracy theory” is now backed by hard evidence: billions of dollars have been funneled over decades into terrorist training camps and Islamic terror groups, including the Taliban, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and ISIS Khorasan.
