The ‘Speed of Trump’ continues.
The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. Trump Admin to Eliminate 1/3 of Biden’s New IRS Employees
The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to conduct mass firings of 6,700 employees beginning Thursday, according to multiple employees notified of the plans.
Staff in their probationary period—mostly recent hires, though in some cases longtime federal workers—received notice they must report into the office Thursday and bring all of their government equipment, identification cards, parking permits, and other documents
Of course this is just the beginning.
The IRS workforce eclipsed 100,000 employees in fiscal 2024, up from 80,000 as the start of the Biden administration.
That’s roughly 1 out of 3 down. More to go.
2. Radical Leftists Seem to Believe Castrating Children Is in the Constitution
President Trump’s “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” executive order had temporarily ended the practice—opposed, as noted in the latest New York Times poll by 71% of Americans and even 54% of those who still vote for the Left—of performing experimental, deadly, and destructive transgender procedures on minors.
But so long as the radical Left has activist lawyers and judges, the practice of gender mutilation will go on wielding the scalpel as well as the pharmaceuticals.
NOTE: Attorney General Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Attorney General Nick Brown of Washington, and Attorney General Dan Rayfield of Oregon have sued the Trump administration for the right to go on castrating kids.
The three attorneys general complained:
If the Order stands, transgender children will die.
Contrarily, the only things that will ‘die’ from a castration ban is:
[T]he lucrative income derived by hospitals and doctors performing these horrifying experiments on children and a major ideological plank of identity politics that insists sex is entirely subjective.
3. Trump to Sign Executive Order to Ban ALL Federal Taxpayer Benefits to Illegal Aliens
The order will direct every federal agency & department to identify all federally funded programs currently providing any financial benefits to illegal aliens, and “take corrective action,” ensuring that any federal funds to states and localities “will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.”
Additionally, the executive order will mandate improvements in eligibility verification to prevent federal benefits from going to anyone in the U.S. illegally.
A White House official told Fox News:
[T]he executive order will show Trump is committed to prioritizing that federal public health benefits go towards American citizens, including veterans.
***UPDATE:
Wednesday night President Trump signed a sweeping executive order that terminates all federal taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) was supposed to keep illegal aliens from accessing taxpayer-funded benefits, however, year after year, administration after administration, these protections were quietly undermined.
Trump declared in the executive order’s text:
My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.
For the average American taxpayer, this represents one of the most significant moves to protect their interests since 1996.
4. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Has Ruled President Trump Cannot End Birthright Citizenship with His Executive Order—Make Ready the Supreme Court.
Under the President’s day-one order, a baby born in the United States would not have automatic citizenship unless one of the parents is a citizen or green card holder.
The order states:
It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.
The lawsuit states:
This is not a case about ‘immigration. It is about citizenship rights that the Fourteenth Amendment and federal statute intentionally and explicitly place beyond the President’s authority to condition or deny.
A Trump official explained on a call with reporters about the orders:
On a prospective basis, the federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States.
5. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Has Reportedly Warned Employees That She Will Polygraph Them to Find Leakers
The Trump administration had set a goal of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests of illegal aliens per day, but fewer than 600 a day were arrested during the first 13 days of February.
According to a report from Bloomberg News on Tuesday:
Noem last week issued an internal directive that all polygraphs the Department of Homeland Security administers must include a question about unauthorized communications with media and nonprofit organizations, according to a memo described to Bloomberg Government by two people without authorization to speak publicly.
Noem cited the ‘deleterious effects’ of leaks on border and interior immigration enforcement and said DHS components that have polygraph programs may use them to assess whether personnel can have initial or continued access to classified information, and whether they’re eligible to hold a sensitive position.
Sec. Noem posted to X in mid-February:
The FBI is so corrupt. We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.
6. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Slams Biden Admin Over $2 Billion Handout to Stacey Abrams-Linked Nonprofit
A nonprofit with ties to communist/globalist Stacey Abrams from Georgia has become the center of a controversy after receiving a staggering $2 billion in taxpayer funds.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, DOGE discovered the funds were initially allocated by The Obiden Regime’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and were earmarked for Power Forward Communities, a group with minimal prior revenue.
Zeldin told the Free Beacon:
When we learned about the Biden Administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this.
I made a commitment to members of Congress and to the American people to be a good steward of tax dollars and I’ve wasted no time in keeping my word.
Further:
As we continue to learn more about where some of this money went, it is even more apparent how far-reaching and widely accepted this waste and abuse has been.
And:
It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.
7. DOGE Exposed Another D.C. Scandal: The Government Is Using Millions of Credit Cards
A bombshell report has revealed federal agencies are currently juggling more than 4.6 million active government credit cards, resulting in over 90 million transactions totaling approximately $40 billion in fiscal year 2024 alone.
From The Post Millennial:
DOGE released a breakdown of credit card use across federal agencies. The Department of Defense had the highest number of transactions, with approximately 27.2 million purchases made across 2.4 million accounts.
The scale of this credit card program becomes even more alarming when you consider the federal government employs only approximately 3 million people.
Recent audits paint an even more troubling picture. A Department of Defense inspector general report from January 2025 found that 12% of credit card purchases may have violated Pentagon spending policies.
Even more shocking, some $500,000 in transactions were traced to casinos, mobile app stores, bars, nightclubs, and even Super Bowl tickets.
Lawmakers have scrambled to defend the bloated credit card program. Their panic suggests DOGE may have only scratched the surface of government waste.
