Excerpt:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday, recognized as National Girls and Women in Sports Day, prohibiting males claiming to be female from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.

The order called the practice of schools and athletic associations allowing males to compete against females, “demeaning, unfair, and dangerous” and that it “denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports”.

The document notes that Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 requires educational institutions that receive federal funding to provide equal opportunity for females. As such, it stated, “it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.”

The order requires the Secretary of Education to take action to protect “all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge in Seattle on Thursday blasted President Donald Trump’s commitment to the rule of law, saying he is trampling the Constitution to pursue “political or personal gain.”

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour offered his commentary while becoming the second federal judge in two days to issue a nationwide injunction that blocks the Trump administration from moving forward on an executive order aimed at curbing birthright citizenship.

Coughenour had eviscerated the executive order as “blatantly unconstitutional” during a hearing two weeks ago in the lawsuit brought by a coalition of four Democratic-led states. In Thursday’s court session, Coughenour, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, criticized Trump in direct and unsparing terms moments after Justice Department lawyers had finished arguing that the order was constitutional.

FBI agents suing the Justice Department to keep their names private amid a review of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack prosecutions raised concerns Thursday that Elon Musk or others outside the department may have access to the information and could make it public, putting law enforcement officers at risk.

Lawyers for the agents pressed that case as they urged U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb to bar the government from any disclosure of the agents’ identities.

Excerpt:

We knew this was coming, too. One way to revamp the American economy is to create a better tax and job-creating environment. The first Trump presidency did that, which led to bonuses for workers, billions in repatriated cash from overseas, and small business and consumer confidence reaching historic highs. Unemployment across the board reached all-time lows, and then the COVID pandemic happened, thanks to shoddy Chinese lab workers not following or having proper containment protocols in Wuhan.

Now, flush with victory after the 2024 election, the Trump White House is making it a priority to extend their initial tax cuts, which have since expired. It should be made permanent when this budget reconciliation duel begins, and it will be a tough slog. Like completing the border wall and enforcing federal immigration laws, making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent should be a top domestic agenda item.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added that there will be a concerted push for no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security for seniors, no tax on overtime pay, tweaking the caps on SALT, nixing the breaks for billionaire sports team owners, and ending the carried interest loophole.

…And the winning keeps going as Donald Trump is now laying off one thousand useless employees of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

I am not tired of winning yet, are you?

The Trump administration to more than 1,000 EPA laggards that they can expect layoffs at any moment.

Per Just the News:

The email was the latest effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to downsize the federal government. Dozens of Justice Department attorneys and FBI agents were already fired last month, and most federal employees were offered a buyout option if they resign by Feb. 6.

EPA employees are among those who can opt out of working for the government by resigning by next week. Those who take the deal will be allowed to retain benefits and be paid through September.

The email was sent to roughly 1,100 EPA employees who fell under the “probationary/trial” window, according to NBC News. But Marie Owens Powell, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, said the government would need cause to fire the employees.

“As a probationary/ trial period employee, the agency has the right to immediately terminate you,” the email said. “The process for probationary removal is that you receive a notice of termination, and your employment is ended immediately.”

Excerpt:

The federal judge who halted President Donald Trump’s sweeping freeze on government spending is doubling down on her initial ruling.

Judge Loren AliKhan of Washington D.C. issued a temporary restraining order after non-profit groups complained that they still can’t access funding.

The complaints emerged even after the Trump administration had lifted the spending freeze.

Judge AliKhan, a Biden appointee, wrote:

“For many, the harms caused by the freeze are non-speculative, impending, and potentially catastrophic.”

At a Monday hearing, AliKhan heard from the Justice Department and lawyers representing a group of non-profit organizations that depend on federal funding.

Those groups say they are still having trouble accessing federal money.

Excerpt:

As President Donald Trump’s administration continues to expose alarming levels of deep state corruption in the federal government, details are beginning to emerge to reveal who has been benefiting from this unprecedented misuse of American taxpayer money.

Trump has tasked the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse from federal agencies.

These investigations have exposed shocking abuses, particularly at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

As Slay News has reported, DOGE has uncovered evidence showing that USAID has been wasting billions of dollars in taxpayer money on fraudulent foreign schemes.

Even more disturbingly, USAID has been using U.S. tax dollars against the American people by funding leftist corporate media propaganda efforts and even the bioweapons research that developed the COVID-19 virus in China.

Excerpt:

 

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but the top brass of the Idaho Army National Guard need to be cashiered out of the service after being caught saying Christians are not allowed to be promoted to officer ranks.

The Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit against the military branch, but lawsuit or no, Governor Brad Little — a putative Republican — needs to start firing his top Army officers for this.

According to a Liberty Counsel press release:

Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Idaho Army National Guard infantry officer against Governor Brad Little and two army generals for unlawfully removing the officer from command solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment. An investigation into the officer, which revealed no wrongdoing, nevertheless recommended a policy to monitor potential candidates for command for any “concerning ideologies” as a way of “rooting out” any “extremism” in the ranks. In this case, the decision to remove him from command on this basis shows that his superiors believe his Bible-centered beliefs on sexuality to be concerning and essentially puts an unconstitutional “No Christians in Command” policy into action.

Excerpt:

El Salvador has agreed to house violent US criminals and receive deportees of any nationality, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Monday, in an unprecedented – and legally problematic deal – that has alarmed critics and rights groups.

Rubio unveiled the agreement after meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, as part of a tour of several Central American countries intended to consolidate regional support for the Trump administration’s immigration policy.

“In an act of extraordinary friendship to our country … (El Salvador) has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Rubio told reporters Monday.

The country will continue accepting Salvadoran deportees who illegally entered the US, he said. It will also “accept for deportation any illegal alien in the United States who is a criminal from any nationality, be they MS-13 or Tren de Aragua and house them in his jails,” he said – referring to two notorious transnational gangs with members from El Salvador and Venezuela.
