  • Pete Hegseth on track to get confirmed but faces uphill battle

    Pete Hegseth on track to get confirmed but faces uphill battle
    Jan 25 2025
    Donald Trump’s first week in office has been nothing short of exhausting. In just five days, he has signed dozens of executive orders, including pardons for over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th attack on the Capitol and commutations for Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy. He has declared a national emergency at the southern border and taken aim at the constitutional right granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the United States, a move already facing court challenges. Trump is also threatening federal workers with punishment for engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Critics argue that the chaos, cruelty, and relentless pace are deliberate, exemplified by his controversial nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran, to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth faces a Senate confirmation vote tonight amid revelations that he made a $50,000 payment to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017, disclosed during questioning by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren has also raised serious concerns about Hegseth’s judgment, citing troubling incidents involving alcohol, including strip club visits and episodes of severe intoxication. She contends that his behavior renders him unfit to oversee the nation’s security.

  • Trump begins purge of federal workforce

    Trump begins purge of federal workforce
    Jan 23 2025
    Tonight, Joy Reid leads this episode with Donald Trump's efforts to reshape the federal workforce through Project 2025. The program’s architect, Russell Vought, has openly stated his goal of creating a “traumatically affected” environment for federal employees. This comes as Trump’s allies, Enrique Tarrio and Elmer Stewart Rhodes, have regained their freedom, with Tarrio demanding retribution on Alex Jones' show and Rhodes revisiting Capitol Hill to meet his Republican backers. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for a federal government dominated by white men, beginning with the repeal of Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 Executive Order 11246, which prohibited discrimination by federal contractors. His replacement executive order, signed Tuesday, has already placed diversity, equity, and inclusion employees on paid leave. With grievances about diversity hires fueling these drastic changes, Trump’s vision for America becomes increasingly clear.
