CEOs of NPR and PBS will testify before the DOGE subcommittee regarding claims of biased and false reporting, as House Oversight Chairman James Comer argues that taxpayer funding for these organizations is no longer justified. He asserts that their content has become overwhelmingly liberal and lacks accountability.

Forbes: Trump Will ‘Greatly Minimize’ Education Department With Executive Order—But Student Loans, Pell Grants Will Be Under Federal Control
President Trump plans to sign an executive order aimed at significantly reducing the size of the Department of Education while retaining key functions such as Title I funding and student loans under federal oversight. The order seeks to transfer more control to states.
This move is part of Trump's long-standing commitment to dismantle the agency, which he claims is overly bureaucratic. However, the execution of this order may face challenges, including potential congressional hurdles and lawsuits from Democratic state attorneys general.
Fox News: Institute that held office standoff against DOGE on 'right path' following judge's order: admin
The Trump administration received a favorable ruling from a U.S. District Court regarding the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), affirming the president's authority to appoint and remove board members. This follows a standoff with a Department of Government Efficiency team after the USIP's noncompliance with an executive order to reduce its size.
The administration has since removed 11 of the USIP's 14 board members and appointed Kenneth Jackson as acting president. Tensions escalated when Jackson attempted to access the USIP building, which was reportedly barricaded by staff. The administration claims this reflects resistance from bureaucrats against the president's mandate for change.

Despite a court ruling blocking deportations of these suspected criminals, Trump asserted that the Biden administration complied with the law by removing them before the order was issued. Polls indicate only 29% of Americans view the Democrat Party favorably, marking a significant drop in support.

The reliance on creative accounting to meet defense benchmarks undermines the seriousness of Europe's security challenges. A robust and honest approach to defense spending is essential for the continent's stability and deterrence efforts.
