Trump says he'll ask Congress to codify his DOGE cuts to make them legislatively-endorsed cuts. Which a district court cannot undo with an injunction.

President Trump is reportedly preparing to send Congress a $9.4 billion rescissions package on Tuesday, formally requesting lawmakers to back spending cuts identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Key Details:

The proposal would eliminate $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and cut $8.3 billion in foreign assistance--primarily through USAID and the African Development Foundation.

DOGE officials are highlighting grants such as $882,000 for "social media mentorship" in Serbia and Belarus, and $1 million for a voter ID program in Haiti to justify broader reductions.

On May 1st, Trump signed an executive order ending federal support for NPR and PBS, calling it the end of "taxpayer subsidization of biased media." NPR responded by filing a lawsuit, while PBS vowed to fight back.

Speaker Johnson says Congress will do that. (So why do I not believe him?)

BREAKING: SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON promises DOGE cuts, clarifies when and how they will come.

"When the White House sends its rescissions package to the House, we will act quickly by passing legislation to codify the cuts."

"The House will use the appropriations process to swiftly implement President Trump's 2026 budget."

"DOGE found savings in discretionary spending (such as funding agencies), while our One Big Beautiful Bill secured over $1.6 trillion in savings in mandatory spending (such as Medicaid). Both are HISTORIC and take HUGE steps toward addressing our debt and deficit."

"The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE's findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand."

Steven Miller and Kristin Noem demand that ICE triple the rate of deportations.

In a high-stakes meeting in Washington, Trump officials Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem ordered ICE agents to ramp up daily arrests to 3,000 -- tripling early Trump-era levels -- as the administration accelerates plans for mass deportations across the U.S.

CBS "News" hacktivist and wretched spinster Lesley Stahl is very very sad.

I am not hopeful. I look at all our institutions, all of which have lost the respect of the American people. I worry about the future of democracy, obviously. And, I don't see a path out. So, I'm kind of down.

She made these remarks during a taxpayer-funded PBS propaganda piece wondering if the President has too much power. Weird how they only ask this question when it's a Republican in the White House. When it's Obama in the White House, they cheer him threatening banks by saying "I'm the only one standing between you and the pitchforks."

And of course PBS had no concerns about the White House being controlled by an unelected cabal of DNC hangers-on who called themselves "the Politburo."

A watchdog group says they can find no evidence that POTATUS was even apprised of the executive orders he was "signing" by autopen.

"Power The Future remains concerned that key policies of major economic and national security significance directed by the White House during the Biden administration may have been undertaken without presidential awareness and approval, but perhaps instead by a small coterie of staff," the letter reads, according to Fox News Digital.

The group analyzed multiple executive orders involving climate policy dating back to 2021 and, according to Executive Director Daniel Turner, found "no evidence that Biden ordered it, directed it, or was even aware it was happening in his name."

"This autopen scandal is evidence that these green EOs are invalid, and the instigators should be thoroughly investigated by the DOJ for violating the trust of the American people and perpetuating a great fraud on the nation," asserted Turner.

Yeah man the House of Windsor is cooked. No way they make it out of this century.

Speaking of pussies, last week we got to see Action Hero Man's Man Pedro Pascal dancing with a rainbow-colored phallic glowstick, and miming licking it:

Now, he announces he's a "lazy fifty-year-old Bougie Bitch."

He actually says that.
