House Dems barred from entering Education Department as rumors swirl it’s next on Trump’s chopping block

WASHINGTON — A handful of House Democrats were barred from entering the Department of Education’s DC headquarters Friday, after President Trump talked up plans to bypass Congress and unilaterally close the agency down, returning its power to the states.

Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and 95 of his fellow partisans had demanded an “urgent meeting” Thursday with acting secretary Denise Carter before taking matters into their own hands Friday — only to be halted by security who “locked” the building doors, a congressional aide told The Post.

Video footage shows an officer informing the lawmakers that their meeting request had not been “accepted” and there was “no business purpose” for their visit.

“Get out of the way!” erupted Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). “We pay for your job!”..


Musk Says His DOGE Team Uncovered $100 BILLION in Medicare and Medicaid Waste After Gaining Access to the System

In a bombshell revelation that could shake the foundations of American healthcare, Elon Musk, leading the charge under President Trump’s newly minted Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has uncovered what he describes as a staggering “$100B of taxpayer money” wasted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

On Wednesday, Musk’s team, along with two senior veterans from the agency, has been meticulously reviewing the CMS’s payment and contracting systems, which are crucial for managing health insurance for approximately one in every four Americans, according to far-left USA Today.

“CMS has two senior Agency veterans – one focused on policy and one focused on operations – who are leading the collaboration with DOGE, including ensuring appropriate access to CMS systems and technology,” the agency said in a statement to Reuters.

The DOGE team was granted read-only access to the system.

Their mission, as outlined by Andrew G. Nixon, the HHS director of communications, is to identify “opportunities for more effective and efficient use of resources” in alignment with President Trump’s efficiency agenda.

However, the narrative has quickly escalated from efficiency to accusations of rampant waste and potential fraud.

“This is where the big money fraud is happening,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post suggesting that aides using DOGE are searching the Medicare agency payment systems for fraud…


Citizens Face $2,000 Energy Bill Increase as Dem Gov’s Green Energy Push Moves Forward: Report

One the country’s bluest regions is learning about the high cost of going green.

Customers of New York’s Consolidated Edison, the electric and gas utility that services New York City, is proposing a massive rate increase that would cost Big Apple customers paying utility bills almost $2,000 more a year than they did in 2020, the New York Post reported Thursday.

And the company blames energy mandates imposed by the New York state government, led by Gov. Kathy Hochul, for the hikes.

The proposed rates are being reviewed by the state Public Service Commission, the Post reported

The Post based its figures on customers using 600 kilowatt-hours per month — the average for New York state households, according to the electricity marketplace website Electricchoice.com.

Con Ed officials argued that New York City customers use less electricity than others in the state and claimed the Post’s figures were too high — that its proposal would amount to a hike of 15.7 percent, or about $46.42 to $289.41 per month, but there’s no denying that a rate increase is a rate increase.

And there’s no denying that New York’s Democratic-run state government has a mania for electricity mandates…


Riley Gaines Was Right All Along | The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

What made the betrayal that Riley and so many others endured so disgraceful was the fact that so much of it came from feminists who should have had her back, and powerful men who could have protected her but didn’t.

But that wasn’t the worst of it.

The most chilling betrayal came from millions of observers who saw the madness for what it was but did nothing to condemn it. Personally, I’m proud to have welcomed Riley onto my podcast last year, but I wish I’d done so sooner. Her courage was an inspiration to me and to so many others.

DeSantis Gives Blunt Take On Elon Musk, DOGE, And Trump Taking Hatchet To USAID


Watch: Senators and Witnesses Expose Biden Admin’s Debanking Scandal as New Operation Choke Point Evidence Emerges

During a US Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing titled “Investigating the Real Impacts of Debanking in America,” senators and witnesses laid out how Joe Biden’s administration, regulators, overbearing rules, big banks, and more had resulted in millions of Americans being blacklisted from the banking industry.

Throughout the hearing, witnesses and senators noted that Biden regime pressure was a major contributor to this debanking wave, particularly through Operation Choke Point 2.0, a Biden-era push that primarily focused on pressuring banks to refuse to service cryptocurrency companies.

These claims were bolstered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC’s) release of 175 pages of documents before the hearing, which, according to FDIC Acting Chairman Travis Hill, show that banks that sought to offer crypto-related products or services were “almost universally met with resistance” from the FDIC, with some of this resistance coming in the form of “directives from supervisors to pause, suspend, or refrain from expanding all crypto- or blockchain-related activity.”

“Under the Biden administration, we’ve seen the rise of what many are calling Operation Choke Point 2.0, where federal regulators exploited their power, pressuring banks to cut off services to individuals and businesses with conservative dispositions, or folks aligned with industries they just didn’t like, like the color of one’s skin in my family’s history,” Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) said. 

Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) also slammed the Biden administration for the way it “weaponized government at all different levels” and targeted the crypto industry.

And when Ricketts questioned Gannon on Operation Choke Point 1.0 (a 2013 Obama-era debanking effort that targeted gun dealers, payday lenders, and other companies considered to be “high risk”) and Operation Choke Point 2.0, Gannon said these efforts had resulted in “many small, perfectly legal businesses” ceasing operations…
