Protests against Elon Musk’s government spending cuts—framed as grassroots backlash—were orchestrated by left-wing groups backed by Soros-funded organizations.

Background: For weeks, protests have taken place at Republican town halls nationwide, targeting Musk and the cuts being made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Reality check: The protests were organized by left-wing activist groups Indivisible and MoveOn, which received grants from left-wing billionaire megadonor George Soros.

• Indivisible got over $10 million from Soros-linked donors
• MoveOn accepted millions directly from Soros’ Open Society affiliates

The media lies: Mainstream media outlets like The New York Times, CBS, and The Washington Post have cited these protests as proof of bipartisan outrage against Musk. But none of their articles mention the organizers’ partisan ties.

Example of media propaganda: One of the faux organic protests took place at a town hall for Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick. CBS reported on the “backlash” and included a quote from a woman named Maggie Goldman, describing her as a McCormick constituent.

• The truth is: She does not live in McCormick’s district. She’s a Democrat political activist who helped Pete Buttigieg’s failed 2020 presidential campaign. CBS made no mention of this.

What do Americans think? Seventy-six percent support the DOGE mission “to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”

Big picture: Isn’t it ironic that the left is opposed to a billionaire [Musk] participating in the Trump administration’s efforts to cut waste—but it has no problem with a billionaire [Soros] funding fake protests?

A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) was given $17 million in U.S. taxpayer cash to promote “democracy,” but all they produced was a low-quality Muppets knock-off puppet show. The puppet programming reportedly achieved only around 200 views per episode.

The States United Democracy Center was founded by Norm Eisen, an attorney who was a key figure in the first sham impeachment of President Donald J. Trump during his first term. Eisen also founded a new media company with hysterical anti-Trump writer Jennifer Rubin this year after Rubin quit her position at The Washington Post.

DataRepublican, a researcher who posts about government waste on X, exposed the States United Democracy Center as having received the millions in cash while only producing the puppet show. Formerly anonymous, DataRepublican stated her name to be Jennica Pounds after apparently being doxxed.

Pounds, who is deaf, says she has left her job to aid efforts in tracking U.S. government waste using artificial intelligence (AI) and is awaiting the results of a background check to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Pounds has estimated that there is as much as $100 billion in government waste or more.

Following his inauguration, President Trump has suspended or cut massive amounts of foreign aid, including downsizing USAID, which has spent billions on bizarre, woke projects around the world that often undermine American strategic interests.

Federal agents are reportedly probing a social media “influencer” over a video calling for the assassination of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Sarah C. Roberts explicitly called for the killing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief on TikTok.

Roberts, who has around 4,000 followers on the social media platform, posted a video where she mimicked a throat-slitting gesture accompanied by the words, “We need to X him,” referring to Elon Musk. She elaborated, “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

In addition to these violent remarks, the New Yorker seemed to boast about not filing taxes for approximately eight years. “Arrest me,” she stated, challenging law enforcement.

The video was subsequently shared on X by the account Libs of TikTok, attracting over 16 million views, including one from Musk himself. Musk alerted Ed Martin, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., about the post.

Musk labeled the video’s comments as a “death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud” and remarked on the audacity of individuals admitting crimes publicly. Martin acknowledged the video with a response, saying, “Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am.”

Musk has previously claimed there have been at least two assassination plots against him in the past. Last year also saw two unsuccessful attempts to murder President Donald J. Trump.

President Donald J. Trump has stated that the purpose of the European Union (EU) is to “screw the United States,” announcing a decision has been made to enact a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and other products imported from the bloc. Speaking to reporters during the first meeting of his new Cabinet, the President said, “They don’t accept our cars, they don’t essentially accept our farm products; they use all sorts of reasons why not.”

Trump explained that he loves the countries of Europe, recognizing his own European ancestry, but that the U.S. has a deficit of around $300 billion with the EU. “It was formed to screw the United States; I mean, let’s be honest,” Trump said. “And they’ve done a good job of it. But now, I’m President.”

When asked about potential retaliation from the EU, Trump stated, “They can’t. I mean, they can try, but they can’t.”

President Trump also announced that tariffs against Canada and Mexico are set to be enacted on April 2— although they may be delayed again. The tariffs were previously delayed when both Canada and Mexico vowed to do more to tackle border issues, including the trafficking of the deadly drug fentanyl.

President Donald J. Trump has reversed oil concessions to the Venezuelan far-left government granted by former President Joe Biden in 2022. The America First leader cites a lack of change in electoral conditions in Venezuela and the country’s resistance to the repatriation of illegal immigrant nationals from the United States.

Trump announced the move on Truth Social on February 26, stating that his administration was canceling the concessions, which are due for review on March 1. Biden’s deal had authorized energy giant Chevron to resume natural resource extraction operations in Venezuela on a limited basis, slightly easing the U.S. embargo on the country.

The President wrote, “The regime has not been transporting the violent criminals that they sent into our Country (the Good Ole’ U.S.A.) back to Venezuela at the rapid pace that they had agreed to.”

The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has been a particular target for the Trump administration and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). During the Biden government, the gang was able to take over entire apartment buildings in American cities, sometimes extorting residents at gunpoint.

Earlier this month, the Trump White House deported nearly 200 dangerous illegals back to Venezuela. The administration has also given the green light to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay, with the first flights departing at the beginning of February.

Online retail and space technology billionaire Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, announced changes to the newspaper’s opinion section on Wednesday, stating it would now focus on promoting “personal liberties and free markets.” The move is a notable shift from The Washington Post‘s more liberal internationalist positions and promotion of political progressivism over recent decades.

The move prompted the resignation of opinion editor David Shipley. Additionally, Bezos’s announcement has been met with pushback and dissatisfaction from the newspaper’s reporting staff and subscribers. “Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today – makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there,” economics reporter Jeff Stein—one The Washington Post‘s more notable journalists in Washington, D.C., wrote in response. He added: “I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know.”

THE ‘LAST STRAW.’ 

Meanwhile, subscribers posted their cancellation requests on social media. Attorney and CNN, NBC, and Fox News legal analyst Jeffrey Gold declared the announcement the “Last straw” and posted a screenshot of his alleged cancellation notice. Likewise, the anonymous X (formerly Twitter) account Sundae Gurl, which boasts well over 100,000 followers, posted that they were canceling their subscription and declared that Bezos had “picked a side” in choosing to defend free markets and individual liberties. The sentiment reflected a great deal of the political left’s reaction to Bezos’s decision—raising the question as to why the American left now believes personal liberties to be an issue purely in the domain of the political right.

Not all Washington Post employees were as concerned as Stein. Dan Lamonthe, a military affairs reporter at the newspaper, assured the audience that the core mission of delivering hard-hitting journalism remained unchanged. Additionally, The Washington Post‘s publisher, Will Lewis, addressed the staff, denying any political bias behind the mandate and describing it as a clear statement of the newspaper’s values.

President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Agriculture Secretary (USDA), Brooke Rollins, has laid out a plan to reduce egg prices. “This five-point strategy won’t erase the problem overnight, but we’re confident that it will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months,” Rollins said on Wednesday, adding: “This approach will also ensure stability over the next four years and beyond.”

Egg prices have climbed significantly in recent months, driven largely by a widespread disease outbreak that has resulted in poultry cullings limiting supply. President Trump’s administration has been committed to lowering consumer costs, a key campaign promise for the America First leader. Recent polls suggest addressing this issue is crucial to maintaining the President’s favorable approval ratings.

Rollins pointed to ongoing incidents of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, as a significant factor causing the price increase. To combat this, she announced a $1 billion investment dedicated to controlling bird flu, funded partly by savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The investment includes $500 million for biosecurity initiatives to help stop the flu’s spread among poultry producers. Another $400 million is earmarked for those producers experiencing significant production declines due to the flu, and $100 million will support vaccine research.

Currently, poultry farmers typically cull infected flocks to combat flu outbreaks. However, Rollins expressed optimism that vaccinations could lessen the need for this practice, ensuring a more stable supply. Additionally, she promised to explore possibilities for deregulating the industry to promote efficiency, and is considering egg imports as a temporary measure to boost supply.

An official Democratic Party account on X (formerly Twitter) has shared fake audio of Donald Trump Jr. saying the United States should have armed Russia, not Ukraine, during the ongoing war in Eastern Europe. FactPostNews, comprised of veterans of “Kamala HQ,” was launched by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in January to “combat online misinformation.”

“I, I honestly can’t imagine anyone in their right mind picking Ukraine as an ally when Russia is the other option,” the fake Trump Jr. says in the AI-generated audio. “I mean, just think about it, massive nuclear power, loaded with natural resources everyone needs, literally the biggest country on the planet, and, ha-ha, there’s Ukraine, which has Chernobyl and some radiation-proof dogs.”

“Meanwhile, the Biden administration is like, ‘Oh yeah, this is definitely the ally we need, let’s dump all our money into them.’ Honestly, if anything, the U.S. should have been sending weapons to Russia,” the audio concludes.

Republican strategist Andrew Surabian confirmed the segment, supposedly taken from Trump Jr’s Triggered podcast, is “100 percent fake AI generated audio” in a social media post shared by Trump Jr.

However, the Democrats passed it off as real on their supposed “fact-checking” account in a post viewed by tens of thousands before it was deleted. It was also shared by the Republicans Against Trump group, reaching hundreds of thousands.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is announcing the imminent dismissal of over 100 intelligence community employees connected to a series of sexually explicit and graphic posts regarding sexual fetishes and transgenderism on an intragovernmental server. The individuals—employed by the National Security Administration (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)—engaged in the inappropriate discussions during work hours.

Gabbard notes the severity of the situation, describing it as a significant violation of trust, potentially having national security and blackmail implications. “There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in what is really just an egregious violation of trust,” President Donald J. Trump’s DNI said during an interview yesterday. Gabbard added: “I put out a directive today that they will all be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked.”

On Tuesday, the National Pulse reported that NSA and CIA staff had made a series of posts discussing transgenderism and castration fetishes on a DEI-themed chat channel hosted on an intergovernmental server. The logs, originally obtained by City Journal, show NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discussing polyamory, transgender surgeries, and explicit sexual topics on government time using the NSA’s Intelink messaging platform.

Meanwhile, Gabbard—in a post on X (formerly Twitter)—confirmed that action is being taken against those identified. “Memo sent. We know who they are. Action is underway,” the Trump White House’s Director of National Intelligence wrote.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has confirmed that U.S. President Donald J. Trump can veto the British government’s plans to hand the British Indian Ocean Territory, or Chagos Islands, to Mauritius. The islands include Diego Garcia, home to a strategic U.S. base, and the proposal to transfer sovereignty to China-aligned Mauritius has proved highly contentious.

“On a military level and an intelligence level, we’re very intertwined with the United States,” Lammy told the British media, noting there have been changes of government in both Mauritius and the U.S. since his government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, was first struck in 2024. “If President Trump doesn’t like the deal, the deal will not go forward, and the reason for that is we have a shared military and intelligence interest with the United States, and of course they’ve got to be happy with the deal, or there is no deal,” he added.

The Chagos deal has proved highly contentious in Britain, with the far-left Labour government agreeing to transfer the islands to Mauritius in deference to a non-binding International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling. Britain would have paid Mauritius billions of pounds—not the other way around—to facilitate this transfer in exchange for a fragile 99-year lease for the Diego Garcia base. However, Mauritius could have rendered the base fairly redundant by leasing one of the other islands to China.

Moreover, the native Chagossians—relocated from their islands to make way for the base in the 1960s and ’70s—oppose the transfer to Mauritius, which is over 1,300 miles away, with little real connection to Chagos beyond the fact they were part of the same colony administratively under the British Empire.

The anti-British Empire Attorney General who negotiated the one-sided deal with Mauritius and the Mauritian negotiator are both friends and political supporters of Prime Minister Starmer, raising doubts about its incredibly disadvantageous terms.

Deferring to Trump on the question of the Chagos Islands will be a personal blow to Lammy, a black identitarian who has previously described the America First leader as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and “tyrant.”
