The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced $420 million in savings after cancelling over 100 contracts with a ceiling value of $1.1 billion. “Wasteful” projects across several agencies were slashed, including a $3.1 million Department of Energy (DOE) contract for “website development services,” and a $2.7 million Department of Commerce (DOC) contract for “marketing consulting services outreach and engagement support services,” DOGE said in a Monday night post: (X) As billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk leads DOGE as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to curb government spending, far-left activists have planned protests and attacks at Tesla car dealerships.

The Left are trying to do lawfare, but they are so overwhelmed by all the Trump Administration is doing they're having a hard time keeping pace with it.

The left is not now and NEVER HAS BEEN interested in saving money. For us to expect that suddenly they will change their mindset now is ludicrous. The massive amount of fraud and bloat exposed means nothing to them; there is no such thing as government waste. We should hardly be surprised. Since neither the left nor the media will ever praise Trump and Musk for their accomplishments, we should publicly demand to know why not a single Demo seems to support saving money or exposing fraud in the government. Ask for a single name. They want to keep this focused on being a Trump thing because TDS is where their most active vocal support is. They are trying to make something that is undeniably successful into something evil and sinister because Orange Man Bad. We should demand to know why the liberals have no interest in saving taxpayers huge amounts of their hard-earned money. The Dems can't defend their lack of interest and we should be hitting them where they're vulnerable, making this about THEM, not HIM. Trump's aggressive and very successful policies speak for themselves.

Maybe those people who are fire bombing Teslas might be good targets for reciprocal treatment and have their cars and where they are kept overnight taken care of. You can hear the screaming now, cant' you?

The corrupt Biden DOJ pressured at least two Jan 6ers to lie about Ray Epps and then punished them when they refused. Stewart Rhodes and Ryan Samsel were targeted and pressured by the corrupt Obama/Biden DOJ to lie and say that Ray Epps was a good man and patriot on Jan 6. Neither would do it, and as a consequence, both were severely punished. Stewart was with the Oath Keepers and hadn’t seen Epps for years. The corrupt DOJ wanted Rhodes to lie and make statements about Epps that were not true. (X Video)

Last week, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent nearly 100 minutes covering leaked messages from a private Signal chat for Trump administration officials, in just the first 96 hours after the messages were published. But those same networks spent only 13 minutes covering the actual military operation that was discussed in those leaked messages. In mid-March, the United States launched a still-ongoing series of airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, in retaliation for more than 100 reported attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea.

Germany’s outgoing Chancellor voices the frustrations felt across the European ruling class at President Donald Trump tearing up the status quo on trade, decrying an “attack”. The European Union, which has been hit with tariffs twice as high as post-Brexit Britain given the bloc’s protectionist policies and tariffs on imports, is expressing its distress and even outrage at President Trump’s bid to reform the United States’ trade relationship with the world. Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz who is still technically in power nearly six weeks after he lost the Federal elections in February spoke in defence of the globalist status quo on Thursday.

The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal -- positions with large support among people on the Left side of the political spectrum. For many, owning a Tesla is a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the world and save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla car owners be targeted for destruction?

Vice President JD Vance slammed criticism of the administration's handling of mass deportations, particularly a media-fueled narrative regarding an alleged innocent father who was deported due to an administrative error. Vance, in an interview with "Fox & Friends," addressed the story of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father with protected legal status who had mistakenly been deported to El Salvador. That father Democrats and the media are latching onto to portray Trump's deportation operation as heartless did, according to an immigration judge in 2019, have evidence of an association with the violent MS-13 gang.

Elon Musk will continue to be a “friend and adviser” to the Trump administration — even after his stint at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is up, Vice President JD Vance said Thursday. The billionaire, who is DOGE’s lodestar, is expected to step back at the end of next month given his tenure with the admin was only ever meant to be temporary. “Of course, he’s going to continue to be an adviser,” Vance told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” following reports in lefty media outlets that Musk was stepping down.

House Democrats held a press conference outside the U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday and were greeted by Secretary Linda McMahon, the target of their disdain. One can almost hear the voice of former WWE announcer Jim Ross - Bah Gawd, that's Linda McMahon's music! McMahon met with approximately a dozen lawmakers earlier to discuss concerns about Education Department (ED) layoffs. The Democrats expressed gratitude for McMahon taking the time to meet them, but certainly voiced their criticisms. (Isn't it something that, all this time, they just needed to make an appointment rather than accosting and harassing a security guard to try and bust in?)

A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump. The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs. Four Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — voted for the measure.

While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying

School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.

Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence. He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.
