Musk, the billionaire technology entrepreneur, mounted a defence of his work leading the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), taking questions from the US media for the first time since Trump’s inauguration.
“The people voted for major government reform and that’s what the people are going to get,” he said, wearing a black Make America Great Again cap. “That’s what democracy is all about.”
Musk, who was appointed by Trump to lead the cost-cutting department rather than being elected for the role, described the “unelected” bureaucracy as subverting the “will of the people”.
In the first few weeks of Trump’s presidency, Musk has led an effort to dismantle federal agencies, buying out hundreds of thousands of workers from their jobs. He said he was talking to the president “almost every day” to make sure his team is following his wishes.

The Trump administration is offering buyouts to all 2 million federal workers, saying it could lead to a cost savings of 100 billion dollars. And a federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's order to freeze some federal assistance the White House says does not track with the president's executive orders. NBC News' Garrett Haake reports.

New policies and pardons from US President Donald Trump. The second Trump administration officially began on Monday and it has been 24 hours of non-stop executive orders coming from the White House - but not only from there. Just hours after he was sworn in for a second term, Trump appeared on stage at a sporting arena in Washington DC filled with his supporters. That is where he signed his first series of executive orders in a piece of political theater merging a Trump rally with his presidential powers. He finished by throwing his pens into the crowd. Later, back in the Oval Office, he signed more orders. They included a sweeping pardon for around 1500 rioters who attacked the US Capitol four years ago, in an unsuccessful attempt to overturn Joe Biden's presidential election victory. A victory that Trump has always publicly refused to accept.

President Trump causes “complete chaos” with his decision to halt all deferral funding for domestic and international aid, says journalist and former BBC anchor Laura Trevelyan.

President-elect Donald Trump defeated the Democrats roundly with his argument that the United States needed a major shakeup. This election will go down in history as a “realigning election,” argues historian Geoff Kabaservice, director of policy studies at the Niskanen Center in Washington, DC.
Kabaservice tells host Steve Clemons that Americans are turning their back on “the establishment” from top to bottom: the media, bureaucracy, elite universities and celebrity culture. So does this mean the end of the “Washington consensus,” where both parties agreed on almost everything: trade, alliances, immigration, etc? Will Trumpism define the US for years to come?

Elon Musk has been made head of a new "Department of Government Efficiency" by Donald Trump, the latest appointment to the president-elect's emerging team.
Trump says the billionaire businessman will co-lead the organisation with former Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The department will "provide advice and guidance from outside of government" to "dismantle government bureaucracy" and cut spending. But it is not yet fully clear what form it will take.
Trump has also picked Fox News host and Army veteran Pete Hegseth to be defence secretary, and John Ratcliffe as his director of national intelligence.

#KamalaHarris #Trump #2024Election
(ASSOCIATED PRESS) A bill that would reauthorize a crucial national security surveillance program was blocked Wednesday by a conservative revolt, pushing the prospects of final passage into uncertainty amid a looming deadline. The legislative impasse follows an edict earlier in the day from former President Donald Trump to “kill” the measure.
The breakdown comes months after a similar process to reform and reauthorize the surveillance program fell apart before it even reached the House floor. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has called the program “critically important” but has struggled to find a path forward on the issue, which has been plagued by partisan bickering for years. The procedural vote to bring up the bill Wednesday failed 193-228, with nearly 20 Republicans voting no.
It marks the latest blow to Johnson’s leadership as he faces being ousted from his job in the same stunning fashion as his predecessor. Hours before the vote, the Republican leader made a final push urging for passage, saying Congress must “address these abuses” without cutting off the surveillance program entirely.
“It’s a critically important piece of our intelligence and law enforcement in this country,” he said in a press conference.
The bill in question would renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which permits the U.S. government to collect without a warrant the communications of non-Americans located outside the country to gather foreign intelligence. The reauthorization is currently tied to a series of reforms aimed at satisfying critics who complained of civil liberties violations against Americans.
But Republican opponents have complained that those changes did not go far enough. Among the detractors are some of Johnson’s harshest critics, members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, who have railed the speaker for reaching across the aisle several times since taking the gavel in October to carry out the basic functions of the government.
How the US can shut down but other countries can’t

Towards the end of every year the countdown until the United States government goes into a shutdown begins. Congress and the President usually avoid it in the last hour, but sometimes they don’t manage to agree on a spending bill and the government actually shuts down. The US is really the only country that does this.
The longest one in history, in 2019, lasted 35 days. Federal workers — and many contractors — didn’t get a paycheck for 35 days. Some of those employees were furloughed, meaning they didn’t have to go into work, but more than half of them still had to go into the office unpaid.
So… why? It goes back to the Constitution and how the federal government funds its agencies. We talk to a law professor and workers who have been through a shutdown to explain.

Historian Jon Grinspan, a curator at the Smithsonian Institution, has studied how intense partisanship in the 19th century was driven by people feeling isolated, their lives unstable, feeding an aggressive, even violent political discourse – sound familiar? He talks with CBS News' John Dickerson about his new book, "The Age of Acrimony: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865-1915," and how our nation's ugly trends in politics have returned, from partisan media to the white supremacists' march in Charlottesville and the January 6 insurrection.
