Times Of Israel: Amid growing outcry, Trump says Musk’s cuts should be done with ‘scalpel’ not ‘hatchet’
President Trump addressed criticism over significant cuts to government staffing and spending led by his advisor Elon Musk, advocating for targeted reductions. He stated that while Musk can recommend cuts, cabinet officials must retain authority over personnel decisions.
Despite Trump's support for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), there has been backlash, including lawsuits and union opposition. Many federal employees are resisting the demands for accountability, with a notable number resigning in protest.
Fox News: Noem team demands end to 'fake news' reports she spent $650K as governor on credit card — it was $2K
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's legal team has issued a cease-and-desist letter to South Dakota media outlet The Dakota Scout, demanding corrections to reports claiming she misused a government credit card, allegedly racking up over $650,000 in charges. The letter argues that Noem personally spent only $2,056.72 on her card, while the total expenses for her office included various official charges.
The Dakota Scout has faced scrutiny for its coverage, which has led to accusations of defamation. Noem's office contends that the reports mischaracterize the nature of the expenditures, and her legal team is prepared to pursue further legal action if necessary.

Times Of Israel: IDF spokesman Hagari to retire from military, in move widely seen as dismissal
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari will retire from his role as the IDF's chief spokesman in the coming weeks, a decision made in agreement with new IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir. While Hagari was well-regarded publicly, he reportedly faced political friction, particularly with Defense Minister Israel Katz, which hindered his promotion.
Hagari's tenure began in March 2023 and coincided with one of Israel's most challenging wars. His successor is expected to be a senior officer from the Ground Forces, with Col. Benny Aharon, a former commander in Gaza, among the potential candidates.

Fox News: Stop carrying your physical driver's license and add it to your Apple Wallet
Apple Wallet now allows users in Arizona and Georgia to store a digital copy of their driver's licenses, with plans for more states to follow. This feature enhances convenience for travelers and may offer improved security compared to physical IDs, as personal information is more protected.

Users can add their IDs easily through the Wallet app, but physical IDs are still required for police interactions. Digital IDs simplify sharing necessary information without exposing additional personal data.
