Trump's First Cabinet Meeting: Discussions On Workforce Cuts, Gold Card Plan, Ukraine Deal & DOGE
President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of his second term, addressing major policies on government overhaul, Ukraine, immigration, and tariffs.
Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), clarified his federal worker "pulse check" emails, while Trump hinted at mass layoffs and warned non-responders were “on the bubble.” Trump also unveiled his "gold card" visa plan, confirmed an upcoming Ukraine deal, and announced 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports.
He remained non-committal on Taiwan, saying he “never comments” on such matters.
FBI Chief Kash Patel has firmly denied widespread speculation about his resignation, calling the rumors “conspiracy theories” and pledging unwavering loyalty to President Donald Trump. In a viral post on X, Patel wrote, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President... and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.” The statement comes amid MAGA-world turmoil over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein Files and swirling reports that top officials, including Dan Bongino and Patel himself, were ready to quit. Patel’s firm rebuttal is a major signal of unity in Trump’s inner circle, especially after George Santos’ viral post speculating on Matt Gaetz replacing Bondi. As Trump’s administration faces growing scrutiny, Patel’s loyalty appears rock-solid — and his denial could help quash internal rebellion rumors and redirect focus back to Trump's re-election priorities.

President Donald Trump vigorously defended Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents, accusing his own MAGA allies of orchestrating an unfair campaign against her. At a recent rally, he lambasted critics, saying they’re “all going after AG Pam Bondi” despite her "fantastic job." Trump blamed "selfish people" for obsessing over the Epstein Files—penned by Obama, Hillary Clinton, Comey, Brennan, and Biden appointees—rather than celebrating what he calls “the perfect administration.” He claimed MAGA is being undermined by endless distractions and urged focus on issues like border security, Energy Dominance, election fraud, and public safety. Trump dismissed calls for renewed scrutiny of Epstein, referencing fallout from alleged “fake dossiers” and expanded investigations. He praised Bondi’s ongoing work into the 2020 election and emphasized America’s resurgence. His remarks reignited MAGA infighting and shifted attention from past controversies to future political battles.

President Trump has announced sweeping 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, igniting fresh trade tensions. Starting August 1, key sectors like auto parts, electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals could see massive price hikes. The EU had hoped for a trade deal, but escalating tariffs now threaten negotiations. With over 60% of U.S. vegetables and 71% of drywall materials coming from Mexico, American households could see grocery and construction costs soar—up to $1,200 more annually. Retaliatory tariffs from affected countries may soon follow.

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan. Lavrov warned the U.S., South Korea, and Japan against forming a security pact aimed at Pyongyang. North Korea, in turn, reaffirmed its "unconditional" support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling the alliance "invincible." The deepening cooperation marks a major geopolitical shift, heightening tensions in Northeast Asia and threatening the regional balance of power as the two nations ramp up military and strategic coordination.

A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a stadium in Russia’s Belgorod region, as seen in a viral video shared by Russian Telegram channels. The strike is believed to be in direct retaliation for Russia’s recent large-scale aerial assault, which involved 25 cruise missiles and nearly 600 drones targeting Ukrainian cities. While Russian authorities have yet to confirm, first responders were spotted at the scene. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy continues to push for more weapons, stating the only way to stop attacks is by targeting the source of drone supplies fueling Russia’s aggression.

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

China has intensified military pressure on Taiwan, with 14 aircraft and 9 naval vessels detected near its territory. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense reports that 9 of the aircraft crossed the median line into its air defense zone, prompting an immediate response with jets, ships, and missile systems. President Lai Ching-te warns of China’s growing military intimidation and information warfare aimed at annexation. As Taiwan activates U.S.-trained HIMARS units, tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea continue to escalate—bringing the region closer to a flashpoint.

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression.
Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower.

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.

Tune in as Trump doubles down on his public spat with Elon Musk during a tense press gaggle. He outright threatens to “take a look” at deportation and unleash the “monster” Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—on Musk, claiming the billionaire benefits from “more subsidies than any human being in history.” Trump warns that without subsidies “Elon might have to close up shop and head back to South Africa.” Will DOGE be turned loose?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next.

The New York Times has accused tech mogul Elon Musk of serious drug addiction, citing sources close to him. Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump and former head of the DOGE task force, allegedly uses ketamine frequently and mixes it with ecstasy, psychedelics, and other medications. The report adds he carries a daily pill box with Adderall and was forewarned about SpaceX drug tests. Musk denied the claims, calling the Times untrustworthy, while affirming he will still advise Trump despite stepping down from his government role.

Elon Musk has officially stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but vowed to continue advising U.S. President Donald Trump. Musk, wearing a “Dogefather” T-shirt, promised the project will thrive beyond his tenure and reduce a trillion dollars in government waste. He will now refocus on Tesla, SpaceX, and X but remains Trump’s “friend and adviser.” Trump praised Musk’s historic reform work and said he’s “really not leaving.” Despite scaling back political donations, Musk hinted DOGE is just beginning—calling it “a way of life, like Buddhism.”
