Receipt: Reuters Held $9 Million Defense Department Contract for ‘Large Scale Social Deception’ 

The Defense Department maintained a $9,147,532 contract with Reuters between 2018 and 2022 for a “large scale social deception” and “active social engineering,” according to a purchase order posted by Elon Musk.

It was not immediately apparent what the “large scale social deception” was.

“Looks like Radical Left Reuters was paid $9,000,000 by the Department of Defense to study ‘large scale social deception,'” President Donald Trump posted on X. “GIVE BACK THE MONEY, NOW!”

Trump, Musk Winning the War on Waste: 75K Federal Workers Take Buyout Offer:

Approximately 75,000 federal workers have accepted the White House’s “deferred resignation” offer to take a buyout while still being paid through September, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

The offer’s deadline closed Wednesday after a federal judge ruled to end a temporary pause to the program.

The Boston-based judge’s order in the challenge filed by a group of labor unions was a significant legal victory for the Republican president.

Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’:

President Donald Trump expressed that he wants the Department of Education to be “closed immediately,” describing it as a “big con job.”

When asked by a reporter how soon Trump wanted the Department of Education to be closed, Trump criticized how the United States education system was ranked 40th compared to other countries but ranked number one in terms of “costs per pupil.”

“Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately,” Trump answered. “Look, the Department of Education is a big con job. We’re ranked — so they ranked the top forty countries in the world. We’re ranked number 40th, but we’re ranked number one in one department, costs per pupil. So, we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked number 40. We’ve been between 38 and 40, the last time I looked it was 38 and then I looked two days ago … it came out at number 40.”

President Trump Signs Reciprocal Tariffs, Says Days of America Being Ripped Off are OVER:

President Trump has imposed sweeping reciprocal tariffs on every country that charges the United States taxes or tariffs on imported goods. 

“Whatever countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them. No more, no less,” the President said as he signed an order.

“In almost all cases, they’re charging us vastly more than we charge them, but those days are over.”

The President later added, “It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us.”

REPORT: Trump Planning Around 9,000 Layoffs at Bloated IRS — Redundancies Already Underway:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the latest federal agency likely to face major job cuts.

According to a report from The Washington Post, the Trump administration is planning around 9,000 job cuts at the agency specifically targeting employees who are still on their probation period.

Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) entered the IRS building on Thursday, triggering panic among leftists who fear a downsizing of the agency notorious for harassing millions of hardworking Americans.

The changes are quite a contrast from the approach of the Biden administration.  Under the terms of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, the agency received an additional $80 billion in funding to hire another 87,000 employees.

Yet even this was not enough.  Last month, they requested another $20 billion allocation from Congress to fund the hiring of another 14,000 employees in order to harass taxpayers and investigate “discriminatory practices.”
