Elon Musk vowed again to dismiss federal employees who do not respond to an e -mail that asks them to list five things they achieved last week.
Hours After the US personnel management had instructed the agencies that the answers to its e -mail were optional, Musk once again threatened federal employees in a contribution to X, its social media platform.
Here is the latest:
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth goes to the US base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, into the US base
He makes the trip on Tuesday to look at the modern migrant center first hand.
The basis is used as a fleeting detention center for immigrants who have illegally joined the United States and are waiting to return to their home country or another goal.
Hegseth, who was assigned to Guantanamo Bay when he was in the vigorous service, called it a “perfect place” to accommodate it.
He is expected to meet us with US troops that are used at the base to support the preparations and security in the center. And he also plans to see sailors on the USS Thomas Hudner, a Dorreer of the navy who is docked there.
The navy base is known to keep a number of suspects that were captured after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The United States has been flying immigrants to Guantanamo since the beginning of February, where they are kept in tent devices with low safety.
Brian Moynihan, CEO of the Bank of America, defends the company’s efforts, their workforce too diversity
Although he avoided the “Dei” label on Tuesday, which was attacked by President Trump and many of his appointments.
“We have a very diverse company in relation to representation from all economic classes, all races, all ethnic groups,” said Moynihan during an interview in the Economic Club of Washington with David Rubenstein, a co-founder of the private equity company Carlyle Group. “As soon as you get in, the opportunity is life.”
The Bank of America has hired 30,000 people from communities with low and medium -sized incomes in the past ten years, said Moynihan.
Many vast companies have put pressure on their diversity, equity and inclusion programs, with Apple being the latest example, since a conservative think tank put it under pressure to reduce its DEI efforts. However, the Apple shareholders are expected on Tuesday to maintain the programs.
Trump’s selection for the deputy director of the Budget Office has an anti-abbreviation history
Dan Bishop, Trump’s election for the deputy director of the Office for Management and Household, and whose hearing on Tuesday, the office of office, financing decisions in connection with programs on the reproductive health of the federal government.
This includes the financing of the family planning program, title X, the program for the sexual and reproductive health of the United Nations and for typically religious anti-abortation centers, which are often referred to as crisis pregnancy centers.
Bishop has long been a thunderous opponent of abortion rights and has supported laws as a member of the General Assembly in North Carolina that ban almost all abortions without exceptions in the event of rape or incest. During his time as a US representative from North Carolina from 2019 to 2025, he consistently approved for abortion restrictions, including the formation of a law that had granted embryos nationwide.
Great Britain to boost defense spending by 2027 to 2.5% of GDP, says Starrer two days before the Trump meeting
During the promise on Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starrer said that Europe requires a “reaction of the generations” in a modern era of uncertainty.
The announcement is made two days before Starer tries in the White House to convince US President Donald Trump to maintain American support for Ukraine and NATO alliance.
“We have to stand by Ukraine, because if we do not achieve permanent peace, they will only grow the economic instability and the threat to our security,” Starrer told the legislators in the lower house.

The modern deputy director of the FBI is a popular podcaster – who has a lot to say about the agency
The popular right podcaster Dan Bongino has built up a career in which he sometimes unleashed inflammatory jokes against the media, the Democrats and the federal government.
Now the 50-year-old former New York police officer and US Secret Service Agent will return to the government, which he has so often criticized as Trump’s selection for the deputy FBI director. He said on Monday that he would soon leave his daily show to take on the modern role.
Bongino, who works under the FBI director Kash Patel, has no experience in the leading federal government. Nevertheless, he has sturdy opinions about how it should be carried out.
A sample from Bongino’s podcast comment from last year shows that he is a loyalist for patel and wants to observe comprehensive changes, from the rooms of the office of people, which he sees as inappropriate, to the redirection of investigations from domestic extremism.

It is expected
This is according to the Trump government’s own data.
The Ministry of Government, led by Trump Adviser Elon Musk, published a first list of 1,125 contracts last week, which has ended in the entire federal government in the past few weeks. Data published on Doges “Wall of Quitts” show that more than a third of the contracting cornation, 417, are expected to achieve no savings.
This is usually due to the fact that the total value of the contracts has already been fully obliged, which means that the government is legally prescribed to issue the funds for the goods or services they have purchased, and in many cases has already done so.
“It is as if you are confiscated used ammunition after it has been shot when there is nothing more in it. There is no political goal, ”said Charles Tiefer, a legal professor from the University of Baltimore, and expert in state contract law. “The termination of so many contracts obviously doesn’t matter to save money.”

The FDA changes to Rehire Medical Device, Food Safety and other employees who were fired days earlier
Hardly a week after the mass scream in the Food and Drug Administration, some subject employees received unexpected news over the weekend: the government wants them back.
The reversal is the latest example of the messy approach of Trump and Musk to reduce costs, which led to several agencies fired and then thrown to Rehire, employees who are responsible for nuclear weapons, national parks and other state services.
The FDA recovery was followed by the setbacks of lobbyists for the medical device industry, which the agency pays hundreds of millions of dollars every year in order to set additional scientists to review products. The leading trade group in the industry said on Monday that “a considerable number” of the device auditors apparently returned to the FDA.

Federal workers return to offices
Federation all over the country, many of which have worked from home since the Covid 19 pandemic, were back in the offices on Monday as part of President Donald Trump.
Musk, who searches the government agencies after alleged waste, warns a warning to the workers on his platform X.
“From this week, those who still do not return to the office will be brought into administrative leave,” wrote Musk.
However, it seems that at least some federal authorities are not prepared that all remote employees return to the office.
In an e -mail to the U.S. Ministry of Education on Friday, the agency officials found that some regional offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco were not ready to return. In the message, also found that employees who live more than 50 miles of regional offices in some vast cities do not have to return to the office on Monday.
In the e -mail, it was also found that some employees would report on offices on Monday, but others would return to the offices in phases until April and beyond.

Trump supports Musk when he penetrates the federal workforce with claims and threats
Trump supports Elon Musk’s demand that federal employees will explain their recent achievements by the end of Monday or relieve the risk, even if the officials of the government agencies have been informed that compliance with Musks was voluntarily.
The Republican President said that the Ministry of Musk had found “hundreds of billions of dollars” when he suggested that federal checks were not available. He presented no evidence of his claims.
Even when Trump and Musk pushed at their case, the office of the personnel management informed the agency’s executives that their employees did not have to answer after the deadline of 11:59 p.m. ESt on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the conversation who had asked for anonymity to discuss internal matters.
The contradicting guidelines led to different advice for federal employees, depending on where they work. Some were instructed to answer the request for a list of five things that they did last week, others were announced that they were optional, and others were instructed not to answer at all.
