DOGE brings the establishment versus the people into focus

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: American voters are excited about the potential for a Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

DOGE’s purpose is to root out waste and inefficiency from federal operations, with promises from Musk to enact swift change within the first year and half of the new administration.

Thies: CNN will conduct mass firing as rampant lies fuel ratings plummet

By Breccan F. Thies | Commentary, The Federalist Members of the propaganda press were shocked when Trump was elected, proving normal Americans do not pay attention to their lying. Propaganda outlet CNN is set to fire hundreds of staff members, including major personalities, following a major election loss where it did everything it could to make sure President-Elect Donald Trump was not elected. The ratings-challenged outlet will reportedly conduct “layoffs that will impact hundreds of employees across the organization,” according to Puck News, after trailing behind MSNBC, which also saw ratings tank, and Fox News on election night. CNN already fired about 100 employees earlier this year. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE FEDERALIST

Davidson: We need to take a wrecking ball to the DOJ. Matt Gaetz is just the man for the job

By John Daniel Davidson, Commentary | The Federalist Gaetz isn’t ‘unqualified’ to lead the Justice Department. As a victim of the DOJ, he might be the best person to reform it. The collective pearl-clutching by the corporate press and Washington establishment on Wednesday after Trump announced he’d chosen Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general was something to behold. The swamp consensus is that the former Florida congressman is “unqualified” to lead the Justice Department. Never mind that the people making this claim are themselves deeply unqualified to hold their own positions of power. (Consider Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who dismissed Gaetz as not a “serious” pick. Murkowski is poster-child for unserious and unqualified Beltway drones. She failed the bar exam f...

Rand Paul to target ‘COVID cover-up’ as head of Senate Homeland Security committee

By Rikki Schlott | New York Post Sen. Rand Paul will take over the chairmanship of the upper chamber’s Homeland Security Committee starting in January after two years as the panel’s top Republican — and he’s told The Post he wants to uncover the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic. “I chose to chair this committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role,” Paul (R-Ky.) said in an exclusive interview Wednesday. “This committee’s mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself.” “I think we’re on the cusp of, really, the beginning of uncovering what happened with COVID,” the 61-year-old added.

Trump plans to shift school funding control to local communities, has yet to pick DOE secretary

By Jamie Joseph  | Fox News President-Elect Donald Trump has proposed a dramatic shakeup in American education: "disbanding" or drastically reducing the power of the Department of Education (DOE), a move that would shift control and funding of public schools back to local communities. While Trump's specific plan and choice of secretary have yet to be announced, Neal McCluskey, the director for educational freedom at libertarian think tank Cato Institute, said there's a high likelihood Trump's agenda of shuttering the DOE could be carried out through "block granting." "Block granting is a little easier for people to understand, because it takes money and it doesn't just suddenly go away from states and districts, it keeps it," McCluskey told Fox News Digital in an in...
