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.

US park service erases references to trans people from Stonewall Inn website

Stonewall Inn

The National Park Service eliminated all references to transgender people from its website for the Stonewall national monument on Thursday. The monument commemorates a 1969 riot outside New York City’s historic Stonewall Inn, led by trans women of color, that ignited the contemporary gay rights movement.

The move comes as federal agencies across the country seek to comply with an executive order Donald Trump signed on his first day in office, calling for the US government to define sex as only male or female.

DOJ won't drop firearms charges against former Jan. 6 defendant arrested near Obama home

Taylor TarantoThe Justice Department does not intend to drop firearms charges against a Seattle man arrested near the Obama family’s D.C. home in 2023 despite dismissing counts last month connected to the Capitol riot, prosecutors said in a filing Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors dismissed pending charges in hundreds of remaining Jan. 6 cases last month following President Donald Trump’s clemency order ending the investigations and pardoning more than 1,200 people convicted in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Among those dismissals was the case against Taylor Taranto, 38, who faced five counts for allegedly unlawfully entering the Capitol as part of the pro-Trump mob.

Judge blocks Trump’s gender-affirming care executive orders nationwide

Gender affirming attentionA federal judge Thursday blocked parts of two executive orders issued by President Trump that collectively seek to restrict gender-affirming care.

U.S. District Judge Brendan Hurson at the conclusion of a hearing found a group of transgender teens and LGBTQ organizations that sued were likely to prevail on all of their claims that the orders are without authority and amount to illegal and unconstitutional discrimination.

Three top federal prosecutors resign after refusing to drop Adams charges

Danielle SassoonThe top federal prosecutor in New York and two senior federal prosecutors in Washington have resigned after refusing to follow a Justice Department order to drop the corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams, multiple officials said Thursday.

The resignations amount to a stunning public rebuke of the new Justice Department leadership under the Trump administration in one of the country's most high-profile criminal cases.

The departures come after Emil Bove, the acting U.S. deputy attorney general, issued a memo Monday ordering federal prosecutors in New York to drop the case against Adams arguing, in part, that it hampered his ability to tackle “illegal immigration and violent crime."

Senate confirms Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services

RFK Jr. confirmedThe Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Health and Human Services secretary on Thursday, giving the longtime vaccine critic who has vowed to take on "big pharma" and ultra-processed food the power to oversee the nation’s food and healthcare systems.

Kennedy, a 71-year-old longtime environmental lawyer, was confirmed by a vote of 52-48. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who survived polio before Jonas Salk's breakthrough prevention, voted against Kennedy after raising concerns about his position on vaccines. The former Republican majority leader has angered some of Trump's supporters for votes and views that conflict with the president's.

During his confirmation hearing, Kennedy, who has no academic background in medicine or healthcare, said his “journey into the issue of health” began with his career as an attorney working with hunters, fishermen and communities along the Hudson River in New York.
