Trump’s Shock and Awe: Government Overhaul and the Fight Against Corruption

This seg­ment out­lines Don­ald Trump’s ongo­ing efforts to dis­man­tle and reform gov­ern­ment sys­tems, fol­low­ing his return to pow­er. It high­lights the ear­ly moves of Trump’s admin­is­tra­tion, includ­ing actions to shut down the Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion and bring more con­trol to state gov­ern­ments, focus­ing on the inef­fi­cien­cies in the edu­ca­tion sys­tem and the fall­out from COVID-19. The piece also touch­es on the ongo­ing bat­tle against gov­ern­ment cor­rup­tion, includ­ing rev­e­la­tions about Politico’s ties to USAID. Trump’s Attor­ney Gen­er­al, Pam Bon­di, is high­light­ed for her quick action to stop the weaponiza­tion of the Depart­ment of Jus­tice. Mean­while, ten­sions with the media and pub­lic per­cep­tion are explored, par­tic­u­lar­ly regard­ing the bird flu cri­sis, egg short­ages, and Trump’s adver­saries.

• We con­tin­ue with Don­ald Trump’s Shock and Awe. We don’t know what he will do today. The Cor­rup­tion in the Biden admin­is­tra­tion has only been gone for 2 weeks. Pres­i­dent Trump has said if you only knew the mess that was left. 
• POliti­co arti­cle: Labor depart­ment work­ers fear they are next… Politi­co has got­ten 8.2M from USAID. Politi­co will no longer get fund­ing from the gov­ern­ment. 
• CIA no stone unturned. CIA sent White House unclas­si­fied email with some employ­ees first names and last ini­tials. 
• Then is the shut­ting down of the depart­ment of edu­ca­tion. Trump wants Lin­da to put her­self out of a job. Trump wants the depart­ment of ed to go back to the states. We spend the most on our stu­dents and they are last in line. WE have not recov­ered from COVID. 
• The USPS sus­pends parcels from Chi­na and Hong Kong. They are going through the mail sys­tem. They are stop­ping the drugs from the north­ern bor­der, the south­ern bor­der and now the mail. 
• Our school sys­tem has not done a good job in teach­ing the author­i­ties of the exec­u­tive branch. Trump is not ask­ing the nom­i­nees to do it his way, but to ask the nom­i­nees to restore the con­fi­dence in the agen­cies. 
• Bon­di got to work as soon as she was sworn in. Hit the ground run­ning, stop­ping the weaponiza­tion of the depart­ment. Bon­di has issued a flur­ry of orders on Day 1 as Trump’s AG. 
• The Depart­ment of Labor man­aged sen­si­tive data relat­ed to unem­ploy­ment claims, health and dis­abil­i­ty insur­ance, work­place health and safe­ty inves­ti­ga­tion, wage theft, child labor… look up democ­ra­cy for­ward. 
• 40,000 gov­ern­ment employ­ees have tak­en the deal. 
• DOGE broad­ens the sweep of fed­er­al agen­cies, gains access to health pay­ment sys­tems. The HIGLAS sys­tem con­tains sen­si­tive finan­cial infor­ma­tion about all hos­pi­tals, physi­cians and oth­er orga­ni­za­tions that have finan­cial rela­tion­ships with pro­grams such as Medicare, Med­ic­aid and the Afford­able Care Act, a vast data­base that touch­es near­ly every cor­ner of Amer­i­can health care. This is a must to clean the house. 
• They have to lead you to believe that the kids are dying. 
• Repub­li­cans block Musk from con­gres­sion­al sub­poe­na as DOGE con­tin­ues to access. They want to round up Musk. DOGE goes after Medicare and Med­ic­aid as Musk calls it a source of big mon­ey fraud. They hate him but they all get in their Tes­las to go home. Frus­trat­ed democ­rats want the Sen­ate to fight hard­er. At the rate the Trump admin­is­tra­tion is going … some­one will go to jail. 
• Two weeks ago the Biden admin­is­tra­tion left. They set up the bird flu. And we have the bird flu out there and RFK is com­ing on board. The Biden Admin­is­tra­tion killed a mil­lion chick­ens. 100K eggs stolen in PA. Eggs are in a high demand. 
• ICE goes into Detroit. 
• Sec Mar­co Rubio will not go to G20.
