Stephen Kruiser at PJM say The Never Trump Grift Goes On, but It Has a Shelf Life Now.

Sarah Anderson at PJM, New Ag Secretary Says This Is Now the USDA's Top Priority, stopping China from buying all our farmland (the part Bill Gates doesn't own).

Pete Hegseth: "I'm going to choose to reject your unqualified question. Who's next?" MIC DROP." 

Charlotte Hazard at JTN reports Trump says Putin would accept European peacemakers in Ukraine in potential peace deal. Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks it's Hardly Surprising the Ukraine Mineral Agreement Implies US Sovereignty Guarantee. And from my brother Mark, at the Telegraph, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard says Trump’s embrace of Putin is a Molotov-Ribbentrop crisis for Europe, "The new regime in Washington is testing pro-American sympathies to breaking point."

At PJM, VodkaPundit thinks DOGE Might Hold the Key to Opening up All of Washington's Dirtiest Secrets "A confidential source of Data Republican (Small-r)'s reveals that a PATRIOT Act provision meant to track terrorists' funds could prove to be a goldmine of information about NGO funding — and that might be the real reason Washington is so afraid of Elon Musk and his DOGE boys," and Matt Margolis says Elon Musk Has ‘Cracked the Code’ on Government Secrecy. Mark Tapscott at Insty says NO, DOGE IS NOT RADICAL: Lydia Mashburn Newman, writing for The Daily Economy, published by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), lays out in terms even a Washington bureaucrat or career Member of Congress can understand on why what the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is no mystery – it’s introducing to the federal bureaucracy what are in the real world widely accepted “best practices.” Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal, "83% OF VOTERS DEMAND SPENDING CUTS New poll: 83% of Americans want the government to cut spending instead of raising taxes—but D.C. just kept spending under Biden. - 67% say the debt is unsustainable - 83% want the budget balanced - 77% demand a full review of government spending Yet Democrats refused to cut a dime while pushing higher taxes and endless deficits. Now, @DOGE and Trump are doing what the voters asked for." Randy Barnett@RandyEBarnett, "“They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.” All of this." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP says The Only Good Argument For a DOGE Dividend Is ... paywalled but obvious, keeping the public invested. 

Ace woke up and noticed Elon Musk Sent Federal Workers a Mass-Email Asking Them What They Actually Accomplished In the Past Week "I don't know if this is a real question or a rhetorical one, but maybe it will spur some deadweight to clear out and spur others to focus more on their jobs. Some Trump-appointed heads of departments, like Kash Patel, are actually advising workers to ignore the email, or "pause their response," at least." At ET, Mass Email Sent to Federal Employees: 5 Things We Know. Capt. Ed notices The Genius of 'What Would You Say You Do Here?' "Musk means "pulse check" in both the literal and figurative senses. First off, he wants to know how many on the federal payroll actually exist, and then how many answer e-mails from senior executive-branch officers." 

At Fox, Federal workers who fail to return to office will be placed on administrative leave, Musk states. Maryland, My Maryland, the Balmer Sun reports Maryland gearing up for potential influx of unemployment claims from federal workers. Carl Paulus@CarlPaulus, "The bureaucracy seems intent on proving that they're an insulated self interest group who believes itself to be unaccountable to American democracy and should be fired. They keep accidentally proving the point for retweets." Quote Rachel Cohen@rmc031"this video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is playing in the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning." At NYPo, Hackers play AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet on cafeteria screens at HUD headquarters: ‘LONG LIVE THE REAL KING’. Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC, "The despair you’re seeing from the communists is because their religion is coming apart. Imagine watching barbarians dismantle your church. That’s how communists feel watching the taxpayer gravy train come to an end. Ignore the Hall Monitor Right. Keep going. More. Faster." Department of Government Efficiency@DOGE, "Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are: - 37,000 WinZip licenses - 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms) -7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees - 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel Fixes are actively in work." WinZip is still a thing? At the American Tribune, DOGE Discovers “Career Civil Service Workers” Filling the Tees at Over 40 DC Golf Courses on the Taxpayer’s Dime. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair, Dimon in the Rough.

ABC, CBS, NBC Spend Less Than Two Minutes on DOGE Taxpayer Savings. From WokeSpy, Anti-Musk Democrat Who Called for “Actual Weapons” in “Actual Fight” Whimpers after DOJ Petitions Him. 

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican. " I've said it again, I'll say it again. Taxpayer-funded NGOs function as a parallel government. Even worse, many sitting members of Congress are directly involved in them. They see themselves as the real government, prioritizing debates with other bureaucrats on the global stage over serving the people they represent. This is why critical issues like healthcare, education, and help for Helene victims are consistently neglected." Quote Tom@BoreGuru "Replying to @DataRepublican and @BasedMikeLee Everything the Democrats would like to pass in Congress, but know they couldn't, just gets done by an NGO." John DePetro Show @JohnDePetroshow, "Dem Sen. Whitehouse in hot water over wife's nonprofit's millions in federal grants. FOX: Sen.

Ace, Trump Names New Deputy Director of the FBI, "Good get. I have to imagine that Bongino was making a lot more with his podcasting venture than he'll make as a Deputy FBI Director. He's taking a paycut to do the right thing." At Bongino, Dan Bongino Accepts Role as Deputy Director of the FBI. Da Wire, ‘It’s A Lot To Walk Away From’: Dan Bongino Chokes Up On Air Announcing Plan To Exit Radio. Capt. Ed, Kash Patel Gets a Hatchet Man at the FBI. "Patel had already promised to select his #2 from the rank-and-file, in part to adhere to tradition but more to bolster confidence in his outsider leadership. This intervention by Trump sends a very clear message that he wants to clear the decks at the FBI, and the rank and file had better get ready for it. This is not just a DOGE deadwood-clearing exercise; Trump means to wring all of the political chicanery out of the FBI, and to do it toute suite." At Twitchy, NBC News’ Ken Dilanian Says FBI Officials Are Appalled at Dan Bongino’s Appointment. Bryan Jung at PJM, Trump Is Expected to Put FBI Director Kash Patel in Charge of ATF, Say DOJ Sources. Jeff Carlson@themarketswork, "Goldman was lead counsel for House Dems during Trump's first impeachment. Designed to prevent Trump from uncovering Biden's actions in Ukraine-and Obama’s knowledge & involvement. Goldman knew everything Biden did. He even met w/Hunter during the trial. Of course he’s nervous." Quote Daniel Goldman@danielsgoldman, "For a party that preaches “meritocracy,” this Administration is shockingly unqualified and incompetent. Hiring based on wealth and loyalty alone is literally the opposite of a meritocracy." Unauthorized Narrative @mgEyesOpen, "Exactly right. And Dan Bongino literally wrote a book on Democrat corruption surrounding Ukraine. Bongino knows, and Goldman knows he knows." Interestingly, the position doesn't require Senate confirmation.

We urgently need disclosure!" Quote, Anna Paulina Luna, @realannapaulina "There is a massive war happening in the intelligence agencies right now.

Mike Miller at RedState hears a Top Biden Advisor Says Democrat Party 'Lost Its Mind' After Disastrous Debate: 'It Melted Down'. Scott Pinsker at PJM says The Democratic Party Is Starving to Death. "The Hill published a fascinating story today: “Angry Democratic donors turn off the flow of money.”" Da Wire, Democrat Donors Pull Funding From Party: The Party ‘Is F***ing Terrible.’ "Many donors are angry that did not get a choice of who the party's nominee was in 2024."

Gavin Newsom Asks Congress for $40 Billion in Fire Relief Funds, "Congress and the Trump admin should tell Gov. Newsom to clean up his own state – then offer special federal tax break directly to the fire victims." Say, did you hear Trump wants to rename the San Andreas fault Newsom's Fault?

Breitbart reports a Secret Biden Policy Fast-Tracked Illegals Through Airport Security Lines.

Anxious anxiously whines Judge upholds Trump's right to block AP for now. Capt. Ed adds "McFadden's denial of a TRO doesn't mean Trump will win this on the merits. It does mean that McFadden doesn't see any irreparable harm to the Associated Press over the exclusion in the short run. McFadden did say that this appears to be a viewpoint-based exclusion, which generally is not permissible, but that a full hearing is needed to make that determination." Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "The best part about the AP's lawsuit is that the judge openly questioned today why the White House Correspondents Association—a self-appointed, fake organization with no statutory or legitimate authority, that exists solely to project an air of official status and wield influence it was never granted—should have any say over “who can and cannot come into the Oval Office.” He even suggested, “Seems to me the White House could decide to throw out the White House Correspondents Association altogether.” This could turn into a massive own goal, and I sincerely hope it does."

Duane Patterson at Hat Hair notes Maine Governor Janet Mills Already FO After Her FA with Donald Trump on Friday. Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84 "Maine Governor Janet Mills decided that women's sports was the hill she wanted to die on. She refused to comply with Trumps EO and told him she would see him in court. Several hours later, the Office of Civil Rights announced they were investigating Maine for Title IX violations. F*cked around she did. Found out she did. Democrats have this world perception that they have bigger balls than President Trump. And that they are going to do whatever the hell they want . They're gonna learn." UPI whines that Kansas lawmakers override veto of ban on gender-affirming care for kids. Off The Press@OffThePress1, "NEW: A Texas doctor told
