White House limits AP access to Oval Office, Air Force One indefinitely

Associated PressThe White House says it will limit Associated Press journalists’ access to the Oval Office and Air Force One, an escalation of a brooding conflict between the Trump administration and the wire service this week.

“The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America,” White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich wrote in a post Friday on the social platform X.

“This decision is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press’ commitment to misinformation. While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One,” the spokesperson added.

Judge extends temporary block against Elon Musk's access to Treasury Department records

Letitia JamesA federal judge in New York on Friday extended the temporary block against Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s appointee to look for government waste, from gaining access to confidential government information.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas extended the order Friday that another judge put in place Feb. 8 but did not say when she would rule on a more permanent preliminary injunction.

The case was one of three featuring challenges from states and unions against Musk's efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

West Bank destruction

An intense Israeli military raid had already sent Qusay Farahat fleeing his home in the occupied West Bank, but the offensive has since expanded, threatening a relative's house where he sought shelter.

The raid, which according to Israel aims to dismantle "terrorist infrastructure", has targeted Palestinian refugee camps in the northern West Bank including Jenin where 22-year-old Farhat is from.

But since it began on January 21, the deadly Israeli offensive has gradually encroached upon more cities and towns.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website

dogeElon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it.

DOGE, which President Donald Trump created to purportedly root out waste in the federal government, launched its website on Wednesday night with a feature allowing users to “trace your tax dollars through the bureaucracy.” People can navigate through all federal agencies and offices for details about their head counts, budgets and average ages of employees.

Trump, Musk escalate purge as thousands fired across federal workforce

Thousands fired

Thousands of recently hired federal workers were fired Thursday and Friday as President Donald Trump and top White House official Elon Musk escalated efforts to purge the federal workforce.

The cuts targeted probationary workers across all departments. Federal employees in probationary status have typically been hired in the past year. Probationary workers are easier to fire because they lack the bargaining rights of career employees to appeal their terminations.

Terminations were government-wide: from the Department of Education and Small Business Administration to the U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the agency that oversees the nation's fleet of nuclear weapons.

Veterans Affairs said Thursday it dismissed more than 1,000 of about 43,000 probationary employees across the department, producing an estimated savings of about $98 million.

‘It’s a money game to them’: a son takes on UnitedHealth over his elderly father’s care

 Jackie MartinTwo years ago, Robby Martin got an unsettling call from his father, Jackie. The 82-year-old told his son that a representative of the insurance giant UnitedHealth Group had barged into his nursing home room at 2.30 in the morning, announcing that he was going to be checked out at the end of the week.

Jackie Martin – who had been getting rehab at the nursing home after suffering a back fracture – still could not take more than a few steps without being out of breath.

But Jackie’s care there, which had started two weeks earlier, was eating into UnitedHealth’s bottom line.

Stonewall Inn

The National Park Service eliminated all references to transgender people from its website for the Stonewall national monument on Thursday.
