C.I.A. Sends White House an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees
The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.David E. Sanger (The New York Times)
#ElonMusk’s Department of Government Efficiency, originally conceived as a nongovernmental panel, has since replaced the US Digital Service.
The #ExecutiveOrder #Trump signed creating #DOGE also instructed all #FederalAgencies to ensure it has “full & prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, & IT systems,” which would appear to include the #Treasury payment systems.

2 of the 78 rescissions Trump announced restore #immigration orders that Biden revoked through EO 4yrs ago. One addresses civil immigration enforcement. In 2017,Trump issued an order to strengthen immigration enforcement inside the country & to withhold funds from local agencies that refuse to cooperate w/immigration enforcement.
Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder that will attempt to amend the #14thAmendment to revoke #BirthrightCitizenship. The president cannot change the #Constitution on his own, so it’s not yet clear how Trump plans to withhold the benefits of #citizenship to a group of people born in the #UnitedStates. The move is all but certain to be challenged in court.

#Trump has issued an #ExecutiveOrder rescinding any security clearances still held by 51 former #intelligence officials who signed a letter amid the 2020 election campaign suggesting the laptop of #HunterBiden obtained by Republican operatives was potentially #Russian #disinformation. That letter has become one of Trump’s biggest complaints about what he claims has been election interference against him.
#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder targeting security clearances also lashes out at a longtime nemesis: #JohnBolton, his former national security adviser.
The order strips Bolton of any security clearance he may still have, accusing him of writing a “reckless” book with sensitive information about his time in the Trump White House.
This is another instance where Trump is returning to personal grievance from the end of his first admin.
#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder decrying the “weaponization” of the #DOJ instructs his AG to scour federal law enforcement agencies, the #SEC, & the #FTC for any indications of political bias in work conducted under the #Biden admin.
The same executive order instructs the director of national intelligence to conduct a similar review of #intelligence agencies. Both reviews will culminate in a report to the WH & recommendations for “remedial action.”
#Trump fulfilled his promise to rescind #Biden’s 2023 executive order on #ArtificialIntelligence safety. The Biden order set #safety standards for the use of #AI across the federal government. Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder leaves a vacuum on federal AI #regulations, while some states & European nations have enacted laws to regulate the fast-growing #technology that poses risks to #NationalSecurity & #jobs.

#Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder short-circuiting the #security clearance vetting process for his White House staffers. Anyone on a list submitted by his White House counsel is to “immediately” be granted a Top Secret/Secure Compartmented Information-level clearance good for 6 months.
The lawsuits allege that the project #Trump announced to target government waste violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act #FACA by giving #private individuals roles in the government decision-making process without the public access the #law requires.
Days after his election…, Trump pledged to set up #DOGE, headed by #ElonMusk & #VivekRamaswamy. Trump mentioned the so-called dept during his inaugural address & aides said he plans to issue an #ExecutiveOrder later Monday formalizing [it]….
