WASHINGTON — The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is among the offices being permanently downsized as a result of the ongoing partial government shutdown, The Post has learned. The RIFs (reductions in force), which started Friday, will fire many of CISA’s 2,540 employees as well as thousands more within the federal bureaucracy — after President Trump repeatedly threatened to target offices cherished by Democrats if the party’s senators refused to reopen the government. In an indication of the possible scale of the RIF, CISA had planned to keep just 889 employees on duty during a shutdown while furloughing 65%...

Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman BREAKING: This CNN host started stuttering as she realized just HOW MANY people are FINALLY being held accountable! John Bolton, John Brennan, Lisa Cook, Chris Krebs, Adam Schiff, Jack Smith, Miles Taylor, Reid Hoffman, Mark Milley, George Soros, Fani Willis, and Chris Wray. There are HUNDREDS more that need to be indicted.

The United States Constitution, ratified in 1789, has been amended 27 times to date. These amendments have played a crucial role in shaping the rights and protections of American citizens. While all amendments are important in their own right, there are certain ones that stand out as particularly significant. In this article, we will explore the top 5 most important amendments to the U.S. Constitution. 1. First Amendment: The First Amendment is arguably the most important amendment in the Constitution as it guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. These rights are essential for a free and...

President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.” “And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.” The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off. Here is The Hill’s list of agencies affected so far. The Senate voted against the House GOP bill to open...

Across the country, a new confederacy is rising—built not on states’ rights, but on resistance to federal immigration law. As cities like Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago openly defy federal immigration laws, Victor Davis Hanson argues we’re seeing the rise of a “neo-Confederate secessionist ideology” where local officials act as if they’re above the law on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Sometimes it's sponsored or encouraged by the Democratic Party: Gavin Newsom in California, our governor, or Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, openly calling for resistance, or Gov. Pritzker of Chicago.

AG James has repeatedly preached that 'no one' is above the lawNew York Attorney General Letitia James faced an avalanche of criticism on social media Thursday following news she was indicted for mortgage fraud as many conservatives brought up past tweets of her taunting then presidential candidate Donald Trump for being indicted."Roses are red. Violets are blue. No one is above the law. Even when you think the rules don’t apply to you. Happy Valentine’s Day!" James posted on X in February 2024, days before Trump was barred from operating his business in New York for three years and was...

Everything you need to know about Dan Rather can be found in this animation of the ‘Killian Memo’, purportedly from the Vietnam War, compared with a Microsoft Word document, that ended his career. Dan Rather reverted to playing George Clooney’s idea of a fictional crusading liberal journalist and eventually the media, which by then had fewer standards than a zombie in a funeral parlor, embraced him as the prototype of a serious journalist, by which they meant, speaking out against Republicans. Now Dan’s not so happy about the CBS sale/merger and Bari Weiss taking on an editorial role at CBS...

The reappointment comes as part of Macron 's bid to avoid plunging France into another political crisis. However, it has not been well received.French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister. This decision comes days after Lecornu announced his resignation from the post. However, this sudden reappointment has been witness to backlash from key political allies as well as the opposition. The reappointment comes as as part of Macron's bid to avoid plunging France into another political crisis. In the past two years, Lecornu is the fifth prime minister to have taken the office. Since Elisabeth Borne's...

A highly anticipated city council meeting Thursday could start the process of potentially removing a member of the council. Palm Bay Community Correspondent James Sparvero reported Tuesday that Councilman Chandler Langevin is back on the hot seat over what he said on social media about Indian visa holders and immigrants. Langevin said these Indians don’t care about America, are destroying the South, and should all be deported. -snip- “If someone only hires Indians, sends remittance checks back to India, campaigns in Indian elections, lobby’s (sic) to fly Indian flags over American government buildings, and has no family willing to serve...

Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report. Democratic voting rights groups are preparing for a nightmare scenario if the Supreme Court guts a key part of the landmark civil rights-era legislation, the Voting Rights Act — a very real possibility this term. Ahead of the court’s Oct. 15 rehearing of Louisiana v. Callais — a case that has major implications for the VRA — two voting rights groups are sounding the alarm, warning that eliminating Section 2, a...

California authorities have started a crackdown on kratom and kratom-related products like these two 7-OH products pictured at a smoke shop in Daly City.A powerful new opioid drug that’s sold at convenience stores across California has been linked to three additional deaths, as public health officials warn of a growing public health crisis linked to the painkiller. The Los Angeles Department of Public Health announced three more deaths Friday morning that are linked to 7-Hydroxymitragynine, which is commonly sold as 7-OH. That brings the total deaths linked to the drug in LA to six, after LADPH announced three earlier deaths....

SiriusXM’s Stephen A. Smith on “Straight Shooter” Wednesday told Democrats to stop accusing their opposition of being “a threat to democracy,” calling the claim hypocritical. Former Vice President Kamala Harris became the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee despite garnering virtually no primary voter approval after former President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her on July 21, 2024. Smith said on his show that the Democratic Party has anointed their nominees in recent elections rather than letting Americans choose them — unlike Republicans since President Donald Trump entered politics. “See, when I talked about voting for Kamala Harris, I wasn’t excited...

Just one day after the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas, it was announced that Israel and Hamas accepted the terms of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war. It was a feat that then-President Joe Biden could not accomplish. In fact, it was a feat that no other world leader could accomplish in the course of two years. And yet Trump, in 10 months, has ended a devastating war. Such a breakthrough would certainly warrant the Nobel Peace Prize.But on Friday it was announced that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the award....

An explosion at a Tennessee military munitions plant Friday left 19 people missing and feared dead, authorities said. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said it was one of the most devastating scenes he’s ever seen. He did not specify how many people were killed but referred to the 19 missing as “souls” and said officials were still speaking to family. The blast, which people reported hearing and feeling miles away, occurred at Accurate Energetic Systems in rural Tennessee. The company’s website says it makes and tests explosives at an eight-building facility that sprawls across wooded hills in the Bucksnort area,...
