FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
President Trump held the first Cabinet Meeting of his second term Wednesday morning. The meeting began with a moving Christian prayer by HUD Director Scott Turner.
WATCH:

President Trump tells reporters again for the umpteenth time that, NO, he is not going to cut Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.
REPORTER: “Can you guarantee Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be touched?”
POTUS: “I’ve said it so many times that you shouldn’t even be asking me that question… We’re not going to touch it. Now, we are going to look for fraud.” pic.twitter.com/YktUKyt4j5

Vice President JD Vance puts the media in their place. Worth a watch:
.@VP: “We’re not going to do the negotiation in public with the American media… Every single time the President engages in diplomacy, you guys pre-emptively accuse him of conceding to Russia. He hasn’t conceded anything to anyone. He’s doing the job of a diplomat.” pic.twitter.com/fZs3owVOq0

RADICAL DEMOCRATS:
Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom of California apparently needs something to occupy his time, so he has a new venture. He’s starting his own podcast.
Oh boy, this should be a doozy!
I’m launching a NEW PODCAST. We need to change the conversation.
I’m talking directly with people I disagree with, people I look up to, and you — the listeners.
Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We’re tackling all your big questions.
This is Gavin Newsom. Subscribe now ➡️… pic.twitter.com/WdzGeqdvZ4

Socialist Democrat and former bartender Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a meltdown over Elon Musk today. She wildly claimed, “Elon Musk is not a scientist, he is not an engineer. He is a billionaire con man with a lot of money.”
She needs help! Watch:
AOC, who has never built anything in her life, calling Elon Musk—a guy who literally engineers rockets, cars, and AI—a ‘con man.’ Meanwhile, she thinks printing money solves inflation.

Democrat Rep. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (Ohio) went on a rampage against Elon Musk, claiming that since he’s only been a U.S. citizen for 22 years, he is not really loyal to America.
Well, ok…. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has only been a US citizen since 2000, and she continuously talks about taking care of Somalia. When are you doing to do a speech about HER, Ms. Kaptur?
House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted Kaptur, writing on X, “Says the Democrats who rolled out the red carpet for illegal aliens, gave them taxpayer benefits, and shielded violent criminal aliens from law enforcement. So much for “loyalty” to country.”
.@RepMarcyKaptur is now questioning the loyalty of American citizens.
This is a new low. pic.twitter.com/ZoNvg5II0x

HATE: Rep. Marcy Kaptur spreading xenophobic conspiracy theories about Elon Musk: “When push comes to shove, who is he going to be loyal to? South Africa, Canada, or the United States? Remember, he’s only been a citizen for 22 years.” You don’t hate Democrats enough… pic.twitter.com/E0aK0kNnIc

FROM THE LIBERAL LOONEY BIN:
From Libs of TikTok: NBC and CNN are spreading misinformation. The person who was arrested for vandalizing and bringing explosives to a Tesla dealership, is a MAN pretending to be a woman.

Where’s the ‘Disinformation Czar’ when you need one? Sunny Hostin spews out a twisted mess to ABC News audiences:
Hostin basically suggests that she doesn’t like Elon Musk because he’s white and from South Africa: “I don’t want to rely upon the benevolence of an Elon Musk who grew up in in apartheid South Africa.”
Musk was a child.
She says you “don’t care about other people” if you oppose… pic.twitter.com/wm2T3yJ9Hg— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 26, 2025
DOGE WASTEFUL SPENDING REPORT
FROM DOGE: Today, the Federal Government exceeded $100M in annual rent savings through cancellations of 250+ vacant/underutilized leases totaling 3M+ square feet. With ~7,250 current leases, there is plenty of available office space for the current workforce.
Crazy that the government was just renting and paying for upkeep services of hundreds of empty buildings!

FROM: Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins
We found nearly $2 billion in @DeptVetAffairs contracts that we’ll be canceling so we can redirect the funds back to Veterans health care and benefits.
No more paying consultants to do things like make Power Point slides and write meeting minutes!
