Democrats are beginning to address their radical transgender policy which is in direct conflict with over three-quarters of American voters.

According to a New York Times/Ipsos Survey, 79% of Americans, including 67% of Democrats say that transgender athletes should not be allowed in women’s sports. Similarly, 71% of Americans, including 54% of Democrats, oppose transgender care such as puberty-blocking drugs and hormone therapy for children under 18 years.

However, when the House passed the bill to ban transgender athletes in women’s sports, only three Democrats crossed party lines, demonstrating the party’s unwillingness to respect the will of most American voters.

Surprisingly, Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress and a vocal trans activist has called for dialog over trans issues. “We have to create more space in our tent. If, for instance, we want to have a majoritarian coalition — not just electorally, but specifically on issues around trans rights — that, by necessity, is going to have to include people who have a range of thoughts,” McBride told NOTUS.

The transgender U.S. Representative also said that going “all in” or against trans rights was unhelpful and risked losing votes, general support, and progress. “A binary choice between being all-on or all-off is not constructive for anyone,” McBride added. “It impedes the very needed path toward winning electorally, winning hearts and minds and, most importantly, winning progress.”

The member of Congress also opposed excommunicating party members who refused to toe the line on various issues, including trans rights. “I think it is an incredibly problematic instinct that many have to excommunicate people who aren’t in lockstep with you on every policy, or even aren’t in lockstep with you on the messaging,” McBride said.

Bear in mind, if Democrats do shift their rhetoric on trans issues, and do start opposing things like men in womens’ sports, they’re just pretending.

Regardless, given how dogmatic the Democratic Party is over the trans issue, it is unlikely that they could reach a middle ground.

Rep. Greg Landsman also disclosed that Democrats were having informal conversations over the issue. Suggesting that the blue party should be more open-minded, Rep. Landsman also acknowledged “that Democrats could be a little judgy and annoying” about trans rights. 

Rightly so, several Democrats have faced backlash after expressing contradicting opinions. Recently, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) came under fire after correctly stating that allowing trans athletes in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” 

“I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that,” Newsom told conservative figure Charlie Kirk. “It is an issue of fairness, it’s deeply unfair. We’ve got to own that. We’ve got to acknowledge it.”

This comes after Newsom said on his podcast earlier this week month that he thinks the issue is “deeply unfair.”

His remarks also caused a storm in his political backyard, with California’s LGBT caucus saying it was deeply sickened by the statement.

“We woke up profoundly sickened and frustrated by these remarks.”

The 2028 potential Democratic Party’s flagbearer also said the party’s position on gender politics contributed to Kamala Harris’ crushing defeat by Donald Trump. He also lamented Harris’ unwillingness to address the issue.

“It was devastating,” Newsom said. “And she didn’t even react to it, which was even more devastating.” 

Earlier, Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA-6) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY-3) also faced backlash after suggesting that the party had gone too far on the trans issue. Moulton had warned that Democrats were afraid of honestly addressing issues that affect American voters.

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton told the New York Times.  “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” 

But don’t forget, Moulton was one of 224 co-sponsors of the Equality Act that would have added “gender identity” as a protected class to all relevant civil rights statutes

Rep. Souzzi also stated that the Democratic party was pandering to the extreme left, leaving many leaders afraid to speak out. “The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,” Suozzi told the New York Times. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports. 

“Democrats aren’t saying that, and they should be,” said the former County Executive of Nassau County.

Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth announced Thursday that the Department of Defense (DOD) would cut more than $580 million in contracts.

The contracts “do not match the priorities of this president and this department,” Hegseth said in the announcement on X. The cuts come from DOGE as it works its way through the Pentagon. “I commend Department leadership for identifying these opportunities to cut wasteful spending, and I encourage other leaders across the enterprise to follow this example and identify more opportunities for savings which we can re-invest in critical mission needs,” Hegseth said in a memo shared by the Daily Caller.

The cuts include programs like the Defense Civilian Human Resources Management System, which was only supposed to cost $36 million and last a single year. Instead, it went $280 million over budget and lasted eight years. Other cuts went on things like diversity, equity and inclusion programs, “equitable” AI, and similar-sound initiatives costing millions of dollars each.

“I need lethal machine learning models, not equitable machine learning models,” Hegseth explained.

Bye-Bye Consultants

Hegseth also waved goodbye to consulting services specifically for IT from Gartner and McKinsey, which came with a $30 million bill. Civilian workforces will also be cut by 5-8%, but some 21,000 employees have already taken the option of a voluntary Deferred Resignation Program, Daily Caller reported.

The Pentagon is required to pass a financial audit by 2028, having failed seven consecutive audits, including one in 2024. Some $170 million is now said to be reallocated to mission-critical priorities.

Not All Cuts Are Permanent

Roughly 1,000 employees of the National Parks Service who were previously “fired” as a result of DOGE cuts had their positions reinstated in March, according to the LA Times. The workers were all in probationary periods at the time of the cuts.

A further 25,000 federal workers have also had their positions reinstated after reviews conducted by DOGE, the BBC reported. As legal decisions over the cuts move their way through our nation’s courts, we’re asking for prayer for all those impacted by this upheaval. We are experiencing many changes in America right now, so much so that some may call this moment in history a revolution. That is why your voice is so important today.

Two researchers from Italy and Scotland claim to have discovered a massive underground city beneath the pyramids in Egypt. The researchers state that they found eight vertical cylinder-shaped structures extending more than 2,100 feet below the pyramid, with others reaching depths of 4,000 feet.

According to Corrado Malanga from Italy’s University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, they identified the structures using radar pulses to create high-resolution images deep into the ground beneath the three pyramids.

Scientists say they've discovered 'vast city' UNDERNEATH Egypt's Giza pyramids… but experts raise concerns https://t.co/SXcXAhmOa2

— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) March 21, 2025

The pair found massive structures ten times larger than the pyramids. For perspective on the sheer size of these structures, the World Trade Center Freedom Tower is 541 meters high. These shafts are 100 meters taller, and there are eight of them. They claim to have seen spiral structures on the sides of the shafts.

— Andrew Côté (@Andercot) March 20, 2025

The project’s spokesperson, Nicole Ciccolo, said the cylinder structures were found underneath each of the three pyramids and appeared “to serve as access points to this underground system.” However, the study is already facing ridicule from archaeologists and scientists.

“The existence of vast chambers beneath the earth’s surface, comparable in size to the pyramids themselves, which have a remarkably strong correlation between the legendary Halls of Amenti,” Ciccolo further claimed.

“These new archaeological findings could redefine our understanding of the sacred topography of ancient Egypt, providing spatial coordinates for previously unknown and unexplored subterranean structures,” she added.

Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver, said that while he does not dispute the possibility of tunnels and shafts under the pyramids, he asserts that it is not possible to scan that deep into the ground. Conyers also noted that the only way to prove the structures are really there would be “targeted excavations.”

“My take is that as long as authors are not making things up and that their basic methods are correct, their interpretations should be given a look by all who care about the site,” he explained.

“We can quibble about interpretations, and that is called science. But the basic methods need to be solid,” the professor added.

Another reason the researchers are facing ridicule is that one of them is also a long-time UFOlogist who has studied sightings in Italy. He and Biondi previously published a separate peer-reviewed paper in October 2022 in the scientific journal Remote Sensing, claiming to have found hidden rooms and ramps inside Khafre and evidence of a thermal anomaly near the pyramid’s base.

A CNN panel on Friday downplayed the findings of a Fox News poll released on Thursday, which revealed that 63% of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants. The poll, which surveyed public opinion on immigration and deportation, reflects significant backing for President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda, a key promise of his 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump’s plan to conduct mass deportations, should he be reelected, has also garnered majority support, according to a Scripps News/Ipsos poll published in September 2024.

However, on CNN’s Inside Politics with Dana Bash, White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López and journalist Peter Hamby suggested that the level of support for deportations may not be as strong as the Fox News poll indicates. Their comments came after a segment on immigration correspondent Priscilla Alvarez’s report about the family members of individuals deported on planes to El Salvador on Saturday.

Barrón-López, during her appearance, pointed out that Trump’s administration has consistently framed deportations as targeting criminals. She questioned the public’s true stance on deportation, particularly when it comes to individuals who may not have a criminal history.

“I think that obviously the president has kind of blanketed the airwaves with saying that all of these people deported are criminals,” Barrón-López said.

“And given the fact that we reporters like Priscilla or I, we have very limited information as to who exactly has been deported, the government has not handed over names. I know CBS got a hold of a list of names, but that hasn’t been provided to those who are asking for who was actually deported.”

Barrón-López continued, highlighting the distinction between people who enter the country illegally and those who overstay their visas.

She emphasized that overstaying a visa isn’t considered a criminal act, contrasting it with the Trump administration’s focus on deporting individuals with criminal backgrounds.

“There is a difference between someone who came into the country illegally versus someone who overstayed their visa. That’s not a crime versus someone who has no criminal record, no criminal history,” Barrón-López stated.

She also discussed the deportation of Venezuelan nationals, noting that family members and lawyers of some deported individuals claim that their clients had no criminal records and were in the middle of immigration proceedings. Some of these individuals, she said, were sent to El Salvador, but their families and lawyers have struggled to contact them since the deportations. In response, CNN anchor Dana Bash acknowledged Barrón-López’s points, suggesting that the Trump administration’s lack of transparency on the issue complicates the public’s understanding of the deportation process.

“I was thinking just that. A lot of political fights are academic and opaque to a lot of the American public,” Hamby added.

“And if you look back on Donald Trump’s first term, the moments when he really saw big public backlash were moments that were accompanied by images, videos, stories of people, child separation being a good example, January 6th being a good example. You see the videos.”

On the same day as the CNN segment, the Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele confirmed on Sunday that his country received 238 members of TdA and 23 members of the MS-13 gang.

The Fox News poll, which gauged public opinion on deporting illegal immigrants, asked participants whether they “favor” or “oppose” deporting individuals in the country illegally. Barrón-López raised concerns about how such questions are framed in polls, suggesting that the inclusion of certain categories—such as those who overstayed visas or were in the process of claiming asylum—could influence the results.

“So sometimes I think it’s also the way we ask those questions in polls,” Barrón-López said.

“Are we framing it as they are illegal immigrants, or are we, you know, splitting it up and saying some of these people overstay visas? That’s not illegal. Some were in the process of claiming asylum. Are Americans opposed to all those different types of immigrants that have been living in this country, in some cases, for decades?”

Bash echoed Barrón-López’s point, questioning whether Americans would support deporting families who have been living in the U.S. for long periods.

“When you start to split hairs on immigration, the vast majority of Americans want criminals deported, but those numbers shrink when it gets into do you support separating families who have been here?” Hamby concluded, noting that support for deporting long-term residents is generally lower than for deporting more recent arrivals.

The discussion on CNN highlights the ongoing debate over immigration policies, with different sides questioning both the legal and moral implications of mass deportation efforts as the Trump administration continues its tough stance on immigration enforcement.

MGM Resorts Marketing Director in Springfield, Massachusetts, Albie Velarde has openly admitted that he would not hire white job applicants in a disgusting show of racism. Velarde was speaking to an undercover O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) investigative journalist when he made the damning admission that racism against white people is alive and well.

When asked to choose between an African American and a white job applicant who were equally qualified for an advertised role, Velarde said he would prefer the former.

“I’d Probably Hire the African American,” he responded.

When pressed on whether he actually did not want to hire white people, Velarde asked whether the applicant was a cultural fit, despite MGM Resorts in Springfield catering to people of all races.

MGM Casino Marketing Director: ‘I'm not going to hire Whites,’ Favors Candidates Based on DEI Principles: “I'd Probably Hire the African American”

“No matter how great they [Whites] look on paper, they don't fit well with my team.”

“I will purposefully look for those… pic.twitter.com/yJYFeNRvYg

— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) March 20, 2025

When asked if race played a role in the company’s hiring decisions, Velarde disclosed that MGM Resorts’ human resource management maintains an inventory of various population demographics and regularly sends a turnover summary. 

“At a [MGM] property level, HR sends us, every month when they send us our turnover summary of the month, they’ll point out this month we lost this amount of females versus males.”

He also admitted that the turnover summary report influenced hiring decisions to maintain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through affirmative replacement.

“Hey guys, we’re losing all of our female workforce. Let’s try, you know, let’s put more females through the pipeline.”

“So like if I lose one of my female hosts, I would try to replace her with a female,” Velarde said. “Selena, she’s my Vietnamese host, she’s very reserved, she’s very quiet. But that’s her culture. I would replace her with somebody who is, in some capacity, that culture.”

When asked to respond about the alleged discriminative hiring practices, MGM Resorts said the marketing manager’s claims do not reflect the company’s policies.

“This person did not have hiring authority during his employment at MGM Springfield and these comments do not reflect the company’s policies or practices,” MGM spokesperson stated.

JUST IN: MGM Resorts (@MGMResortsIntl) has provided the following statement to O'Keefe Media Group:

While MGM Resorts denies the allegations, Velarde’s allegations are hardly far-fetched, as most pro-DEI organizations regularly engage in these discriminative hiring practices, thus Velarde likely said the quiet part out loud. In a recently resurfaced lawsuit, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was accused of discriminating against nearly 1,000 air traffic control applicants who aced the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test because they did not check all the diversity checkboxes.

The lawsuit pertains to a mandatory “biographical questionnaire” the FAA introduced in 2013 in addition to the AT-SAT test, gutting an entire “Qualified Applicant Register” List of pre-qualified candidates who excelled in the technical and cognitive aspects of the test.

The Trump administration has blocked the University of Pennsylvania from receiving $175 million in federal funding over its policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. The funding freeze was not related to the independent investigation by the Department of Education into potential violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Act that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities that receive federal funding.

However, the university has not received any notification about the funding freeze and claims to have fully complied with the NCAA’s updated guidelines on the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

“We are aware of media reports suggesting a suspension of $175 million in federal funding to Penn, but have not yet received any official notification or any details,” a UPenn spokesperson told Fox Business which first reported the funding freeze.

“It is important to note, however, that Penn has always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams. We have been in the past, and remain today, in full compliance with the regulations that apply to not only Penn, but all of our NCAA and Ivy League peer institutions.”

Recently, Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found that the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals’ Association, and Greely High School violated Title IX by allowing a transgender teen to compete against girls in a track and field event. The Trump administration had also directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to halt federal funding for the University of Maine System (UMS) after the state’s politicians vowed to ignore the President’s trans policy. The funding freeze was later reversed after RINO Republican Senator Susan Collins intervened and negotiated with the Trump administration.

San Jose State University and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association are also under investigation for allowing transgender athletes to compete against women. San Jose State University made headlines after including a transgender player on its volleyball team, prompting several female teams to refuse to play. In 2022, Payton McNabb was severely injured after a transgender volleyball player spiked a ball in her head, resulting in traumatic brain injuries. Subsequently, their boycott could be perceived as a security measure to avoid potential severe injuries.

In the same year, UPenn included a transgender athlete Lia Thomas, who proceeded to win the national championship in women’s 500-yard freestyle. By October 2024, transgender athletes had won over 900 medals across 400 events in 29 sports, displacing over 600 biological female athletes. The Trump administration has been requested to investigate an Illinois school district after a mother reported that her 13-year-old was forced to change in front of a transgender athlete. According to the girl’s mother, she was told that the biological male student could use the bathroom because now he identifies as a female.

Folks, a boy shouldn’t be changing in a girls’ locker room. Just like they shouldn’t be playing in girls’ sports. It’s common sense. God made boys boys and girls girls. It’s that simple.

The following day, the girls reportedly refused to change during physical education because the transgender student was present. However, the school’s assistant administrator, the principal, and several teachers entered the girls’ locker room and forced them to change in front of the transgender student. Meanwhile, Illinois Democrat state representative Bob Morgan accused the teenage girl of lying and lauded the people “who stood up for those who need to be defended and protected” referring to the transgender student.

When you’re a leftist, you can get away with anything. No laws apply to you. If you’re a man with a sexual interest in girls you can just declare yourself a woman and invade the ladies’ room. If you don’t like the president, you can hijack the legal system and persecute your opponent through prosecutions that have no basis in U.S. historical jurisprudence. 

That’s clearly the message the left has taken from the past four years of the Biden presidency. And they’re right; they were allowed to get away with anything and everything with zero legal consequences and precious little public pushback. It’s no wonder at all why the most crazed among them are perfectly confident to call for violence or murder against people they don’t like. 

Who am I talking about today? Rick Wilson of the we-hate-Trump-so-much “Lincoln Project.” Oh, sure, Wilson claims to be a Republican, but if he is, he’s trans-Republican, like the men who put on dresses and become “trans-women.” 

What’s the Lincoln Project? It’s a political organization founded to get that dastardly Donald Trump by any means necessary. Wikipedia describes them with same tone as the sign for the He Man Woman Haters Club from The Little Rascals:

“Trumpism.” Tee-hee. 

The Lincoln Project fell on hard times when most of its staff abandoned the organization after one of its founders, John Weaver, was accused of making sexual advances toward what the New York Times only describes as “young men.”

Rick Wilson keeps plugging along confidently. So confidently that he called for the public to “kill” carmaker Tesla on his Twitter/X account. Tesla is owned by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man. Musk also owns Twitter/X.  Musk has become a target for Democrats and never-Trumpers who resent his position running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is slashing wasteful federal spending. 

Over the past few weeks deranged activists have been burning Tesla dealerships and damaging Tesla vehicles, which Rick Wilson surely knew when he sent his incendiary tweet. Now Attorney General Pam Bondi is promising to hunt down and prosecute the domestic terrorists targeting Tesla and its staff. 

Amazingly, Wilson seems to believe he’s going to get sympathy for the fact that Elon Musk (remember that he owns Twitter/X) shut down his account after Wilson’s obvious call for violence against Musk’s company:

NEW: Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson says he has been locked out of his X account after he appeared to incite terrorism by saying it's time to "K*ll Tesla."

The highly anticipated JFK files, released on Tuesday, have revealed that a CIA operative who was convinced the agency had killed Kennedy was mysteriously found dead from suicide six months later. While the final batch of JFK documents, which includes 80,000 pages, offers “few revelations so far,” per The New York Times, one particular file concerning the death of CIA operative Gary Underhill has begun raising eyebrows.

The file states, “The day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening, he showed up at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated.”

Newly released JFK files tell a story about how Gary Underhill, who worked for the CIA, was found dead after he revealed to friends that the CIA was responsible for JFK’s assassination.

A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country.

Less than six months later Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide.“

According to Underhill’s friends, he was very disturbed after discovering that a “CIA clique which was carrying on a lucrative racket in gun-running, narcotics, and other contraband, and manipulating political intrigue to serve its own ends” had assassinated JFK. Kennedy allegedly got “wind that something was going on” but was ultimately taken out before he could “blow the whistle on it.”

Underhill’s friends initially didn’t take his claims seriously, refusing to believe that the CIA could be responsible for assassinating their own American president. However, his friends’ suspicions were raised following Underhill’s subsequent ‘suicide’ six months later.

“His body was found by a writing collaborator, Asher Brynes of the New Republic. He had been shot behind the left ear, and an automatic pistol was under his left side. Odd, says Brynes, because Underhill was right-handed.”

Brynes also wondered why a silencer had been fitted to the pistol and if Underhill had indeed used it.

The file states:

“Underhill obviously had been dead several days. Garry Underhill’s chilling story is hardly implausible.

As a spy apparatus, the CIA is honeycombed with self-contained cliques operating without any real central control.”

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon shared the department’s “final vision” in March, promising a “restoration” of the American education system.

McMahon has promised to eradicate corruption within the education system, as well as emphasizing oversight and an end to overreach from Washington. The process will start with an in-depth review of the department’s programs in order to ensure a true return on investment for the American people.

Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons

Full Statement from Sec. McMahon

When I took the oath of office as Secretary of Education, I accepted responsibility for overseeing the U.S. Department of Education and those who work here. But more importantly, I took responsibility for supporting over 100 million American children and college students who are counting on their education to create opportunity and prepare them for a rewarding career.

I want to do right by both.

As you are all aware, President Trump nominated me to take the lead on one of his most momentous campaign promises to families. My vision is aligned with the President’s: to send education back to the states and empower all parents to choose an excellent education for their children. As a mother and grandmother, I know there is nobody more qualified than a parent to make educational decisions for their children. I also started my career studying to be a teacher, and as a Connecticut Board of Education member and college trustee, I have long held that teaching is the most noble of professions. As a businesswoman, I know the power of education to prepare workers for fulfilling careers.

American education can be the greatest in the world. It ought not to be corrupted by political ideologies, special interests, and unjust discrimination. Parents, teachers, and students alike deserve better.

After President Trump’s inauguration last month, he steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep his promises: combatting critical race theory, DEI, gender ideology, discrimination in admissions, promoting school choice for every child, and restoring patriotic education and civics. He has also been focused on eliminating waste, red tape, and harmful programs in the federal government. The Department of Education’s role in this new era of accountability is to restore the rightful role of state oversight in education and to end the overreach from Washington.

This restoration will profoundly impact staff, budgets, and agency operations here at the Department. In coming months, we will partner with Congress and other federal agencies to determine the best path forward to fulfill the expectations of the President and the American people. We will eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy so that our colleges, K-12 schools, students, and teachers can innovate and thrive.

This review of our programs is long overdue. The Department of Education is not working as intended. Since its establishment in 1980, taxpayers have entrusted the department with over $1 trillion, yet student outcomes have consistently languished. Millions of young Americans are trapped in failing schools, subjected to radical anti-American ideology, or saddled with college debt for a degree that has not provided a meaningful return on their investment. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves after just a few years—and citing red tape as one of their primary reasons.

The reality of our education system is stark, and the American people have elected President Trump to make significant changes in Washington. Our job is to respect the will of the American people and the President they elected, who has tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education—a momentous final mission—quickly and responsibly.

As I’ve learned many times throughout my career, disruption leads to innovation and gets results. We must start thinking about our final mission at the department as an overhaul—a last chance to restore the culture of liberty and excellence that made American education great. Changing the status quo can be daunting. But every staff member of this Department should be enthusiastic about any change that will benefit students.

True change does not happen overnight—especially the historic overhaul of a federal agency. Over the coming months, as we work hard to carry out the President’s directives, we will focus on a positive vision for what American education can be.

These are our convictions:

1. Parents are the primary decision makers in their children’s education.
2. Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning in math, reading, science, and history—not divisive DEI programs and gender ideology.
3. Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs.

Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make the best educational choices for their children. An effective transfer of educational oversight to the states will mean more autonomy for local communities. Teachers, too, will benefit from less micromanagement in the classroom—enabling them to get back to basics.

I hope each of you will embrace this vision going forward and use these convictions as a guide for conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals. I want to invite all employees to join us in this historic final mission on behalf of all students, with the same dedication and excellence that you have brought to your careers as public servants.

This is our opportunity to perform one final, unforgettable public service to future generations of students. I hope you will join me in ensuring that when our final mission is complete, we will all be able to say that we left American education freer, stronger, and with more hope for the future.

Sincerely,

Linda McMahon

President Donald Trump held a press conference at the Justice Department on Friday, using the event to criticize far-left judges, call out what he described as corrupt prosecutors, and address growing concerns over Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign official documents.

Trump’s remarks focused on restoring law and order, as well as ending what he called the weaponization of the Justice Department.

Among the key topics he highlighted was the Biden autopen scandal, which has gained significant attention following reports that nearly every document bearing Biden’s signature was signed using an autopen, except for the announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.

The issue first gained traction after The Oversight Project gathered documents signed by Biden, revealing that nearly all of them contained the same autopen signature. The New York Post followed up with a report indicating that a key Biden aide may have been making unilateral decisions on what documents to approve using the autopen. According to the Post’s Steve Nelson, the identity of the key staffer responsible for these actions remains undisclosed. However, an insider speaking to the publication described the situation as deeply concerning.

“I feared no one as much as I feared that [staffer]. To me, [the staffer] basically was the president,” the insider said. “No one ever questioned [the staffer]. Period.”

Trump did not hold back in his criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of official documents, questioning whether anything Biden signed with an autopen is even valid.

“Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it, and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen, so how would he know? That autopen is a big deal. I don’t know, you know? Who’s doing this?” Trump said.

He contrasted Biden’s alleged reliance on the autopen with his own approach to signing executive orders while in office.

“When my people come up, Will [Scharf] and all of the people, Steve [Miller], they come up… Sir, this is an executive order, they explain it to me, and 90% of the time, I sign it. 99% of the time, I say, do it. But, they come up, and I sign it,” Trump explained.

Trump then emphasized the importance of personally signing official documents rather than delegating the responsibility to a mechanical device.

“But, you don’t use autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing. If he did, all of these bad things wouldn’t be happening,” Trump said.

The Biden autopen controversy raises questions about who is making critical decisions in the White House and whether presidential authority is being undermined by unelected staffers. With Trump continuing to highlight the issue, pressure is likely to mount for more transparency regarding Biden’s handling of executive actions.

The Justice Department has not issued a response regarding Trump’s remarks or the broader concerns surrounding the autopen scandal. However, as scrutiny grows, Biden’s administration may face increased demands to clarify whether the president personally reviews and approves key decisions before they are signed into law.
