One of Sara Gonzales’ dreams came true after sitting down with none other than RFK Jr. to ask him some important questions about his new job — and what he told her did not disappoint.

“I just saw, just earlier this morning, that you are totally restructuring HHS. What does that new structure look like?” Gonzales asked.

“What we found over there is we have a sprawling bureaucracy that has all kinds of redundancies in it and a lot of administrative costs and much less an emphasis on actual mission, which is gold standard science patient care,” RFK Jr. responded.

“During the Biden administration, the budget of HHS went up by 38% and the amount of employees increased by 17%, and all of the metrics of public health actually accelerated downward. We need to reverse that,” he continued.

“We have over a hundred communications departments, we have 40 IT departments, 40 HR departments, and on and on, and we are going to consolidate those. The agency is a $1.9 trillion agency, it’s completely impossible to govern, it’s impossible to inspire, it’s impossible to have a unified mission that everybody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘My job is to Make America Healthy Again,’” he added.

And according to RFK Jr., within the agency there are groups that are “at war with each other.”

“I found out that medical information that is collected by one side, they then sell it to the other groups in my agency instead of sharing it and saying, ‘How do we use this way to improve patient care? How do we use it in a way to make people healthy?’” he explained.

“We’re cutting 28 divisions into 15, we’re eliminating the redundancies, we’re streamlining the agencies. We’re going to go from 82,000 employees to 62,000,” he added.

“It really is shocking when you hear how much they have grown, how much the bloated bureaucracy grew just under Joe Biden,” Gonzales comments, adding, “Like, are you kidding me?”

At an America PAC town hall in Wisconsin this week, Elon Musk took the opportunity to reveal a serious truth bomb — which is that millions of noncitizens receive Social Security numbers.

Musk was joined on stage by fellow billionaire Antonio Gracias, who is the CEO and CIO of Valor Equity Partners.

“Once you’re in the country, and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways, we’ve mapped the whole thing out; you can apply for a work document. You file a 765, it’s the work form. You get this form called the 766, that’s the authorization, and then the Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number,” Gracias told the audience.

“No interview, no ID,” Gracias added, before Musk chimed in.

“This is worth just reiterating,” Musk said. “People sometimes think that under the Biden administration that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn’t asleep at the switch. It was a massive large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible.”

“Ultimately, to change the entire voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and make it a permanent, deep-blue one-party state from which there would be no escape,” he added.

Some hecklers did manage to get into the town hall, and Musk then called them out accordingly.

“It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience,” Musk said to laughter. “Give my regards to George; say hi to George for me,” he added, before chanting “USA” along with the crowd.

Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” is impressed.

“He is the best form of communication that we have going on the right,” Savage says. “So good.”

As President Donald Trump grapples with more than a dozen injunctions, Republican lawmakers have targeted “rogue” activist judges with two new bills.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) introduced the No Rogue Rulings Act to restrict U.S. district judges’ ability to issue broad injunctions. The bill passed the House Rules Committee on Tuesday in a 9-4 vote along party lines.

‘700 District Court judges shouldn’t each have nationwide veto power over a President’s national security decisions.’

“The bill would allow a district court to issue a nationwide injunction in a case in which two separate states from two separate judicial circuits are parties — making clear the nationwide nature of the dispute. In such a case, the bill provides for the establishment of a panel of three randomly chosen judges to determine whether to issue a nationwide injunction. Such injunctions may be appealed directly to the Supreme Court,” the proposed bill reads.

Since Trump’s January inauguration, his administration has already been hit with 15 injunctions, stalling a wide range of initiatives such as the end of birthright citizenship, deportation flights, and the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Issa told the New York Post that his proposed bill is “a constitutional solution to a national problem.”

“Time and again, solitary judges have usurped congressional intent and confronted President Trump, rather than dispassionately interpreted the law,” he stated.

New York Republican Reps. Claudia Tenney, Nick Langworthy, and Nick LaLota have co-sponsored the bill.

Tenney pointed out that 67% of all injunctions ever issued have been placed against Trump.

“I am supporting the No Rogue Rulings Act to stop radical judges from imposing nationwide injunctions on President Trump’s agenda, which 77 million Americans voted for,” she wrote in a post on X.

LaLota stated, “700 District Court judges shouldn’t each have nationwide veto power over a President’s national security decisions.”

Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) called the activist judges’ actions “unconstitutional lawfare.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Monday introduced a similar measure, the Judicial Relief Clarification Act, which aims to “limit federal court orders to parties directly before the court — ending the practice of universal injunctions and clarifying the constitutional role of the judicial branch.”

It would require parties to file a class-action lawsuit to receive nationwide injunctive relief.

Grassley stated, “For a number of years, but particularly in the last few months, we’ve increasingly seen sweeping orders from individual district judges that dictate national policy. Our Founders saw an important role for the judiciary, but the Constitution limits judges to exercising power over ‘cases’ or ‘controversies.’ Judges are not policymakers, and allowing them to assume this role is very dangerous.”

On Tuesday, two House Judiciary Committee subcommittees held a joint hearing examining judicial overreach. Former Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Paul Larkin, a senior legal research fellow with the Heritage Foundation, joined the hearing as witnesses.

Larkin told lawmakers, “The practice of issuing nationwide injunctions outside the confines of a certified nationwide class action is mistaken as a matter of law and unwise as a matter of policy.”

“It is not the courts that are responsible for creating the laws; the courts are responsible for interpreting it as it applies, but they can only do so in the context of a case or controversy,” he added. “Only the Congress can create a law. Any time a court enters a judgment that is tantamount to being a law, the judge has gone too far.”

Gingrich called the judges’ injunctions against the Trump administration “potentially a judicial coup d’état.”

“The notion that unelected lawyers can micromanage the executive branch and override a commander in chief who received 77.3 million votes should trouble every American,” he stated.

President Donald Trump hinted on Tuesday that Elon Musk may leave the DOGE sometime soon and return to running his companies.

The tech billionaire enthusiastically backed the Trump 2024 campaign and was then named the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, an effort to root out government waste, fraud, and abuse. His companies have suffered as a result of protests from the left, including some political vandalism and violence.

‘At some point he’s going to be going back.’

After 71 days in office, Trump suggested that Musk may leave the DOGE effort.

“I think he’s amazing, but I also think he’s got a big company to run, and so at some point he’s going to be going back,” Trump said to reporters of Musk. “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him.”

Speaking at a signing ceremony at the White House, Trump added that other agency leaders had received a “big education” from Musk and his cuts to government spending.

“There will be a point at which the secretaries will be able to do this work,” the president said.

Musk also appeared to hint that his work would be completed by the 130-day mark that limits his involvement as a temporary government employee.

“I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame,” Musk said in an interview with Fox News last week.

Liberal politicians and media commentators have transparently attempted to drive a wedge between the president and the tech entrepreneur by suggesting that Musk was actually running the White House.

“And you know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said, ‘Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Shut the government down!’” screamed Democrat U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut on the House floor in December.

On Tuesday, Musk was campaigning in Wisconsin for a pivotal election for the state supreme court that might determine the congressional district maps for the next election.

On Monday, the Department of Labor announced that it had identified $1.4 billion in unused COVID-era funding.

A press release from the DOL noted that the agency is working to recover another $2.9 billion.

‘Government waste hates to see us coming.’

“The roughly $4.3 billion was intended for states to use for temporary unemployment insurance during the pandemic. Instead, several states continued spending millions of dollars despite no longer meeting necessary requirements, which was uncovered in a 2023 audit conducted by the department’s Office of Inspector General,” it read.

The unused funding was turned over to the Department of Treasury’s General Fund, the DOL reported.

DOL Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer stated, “Any money still sitting around for pandemic-era unemployment funds is a clear misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars.”

“I’m keeping my promise to be a good steward of your money by rooting out waste to ensure American Workers always come First,” she added.

Chavez-DeRemer told Fox News Digital, “There’s no reason leftover COVID unemployment funds should still be collecting dust.”

DOL Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling called it “unacceptable” that the taxpayer funds “went unchecked” for several years.

“In a huge win for the American taxpayer, we’ve clawed back these unused funds and will keep working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse,” Sonderling vowed.

The funds were a part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in 2020, which created a program to provide “expanded unemployment insurance.”

The 45-page IG report found that, although the program ended in 2021, four states were allowed to access the reimbursement money “despite not meeting program requirements.” According to the report, the four states collected $105.1 million in reimbursements they were not eligible to receive.

The report claimed the issues occurred because there were not “sufficient controls” to ensure states were eligible or that unused funds were returned to the federal government.

Last week, the Department of Government Efficiency applauded Chavez-DeRemer and Sonderling for canceling $577 million in “America Last” grants, saving taxpayers $237 million.

“Government waste hates to see us coming,” the DOL wrote in a post on X.

On Monday evening, the White House announced that President Donald Trump has tapped former Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) to serve as the DOL’s inspector general.

Ithaca College has a male athlete competing on its women’s rowing team for the second straight year.

As reported by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, Ithaca College defied President Trump’s executive order to keep men out of women’s sports by allowing a sophomore male, Juniper (Tyler) Gattone, to compete in the women’s Cayuga Duals over the past weekend.

Gattone was listed on the Ithaca women’s rowing Instagram page in an image for the third varsity squad.

Gattone is also listed on Ithaca’s official online roster for women’s rowing, and at 5’10” he shares the honor of being the tallest athlete on the team. Under his biography, the rower is credited with helping the women’s team “capture their sixth consecutive Liberty League women’s rowing crown” and was named to the conference Women’s Rowing Novice Crew of the Year.

The athlete is also referred to using “they” pronouns.

Ithaca featured Gattone in a recent TikTok video in which the rowing team participated in a social media trend where one person, facing away from a group, attempts to identify his friends by voice only after each person repeats the same phrase. The athlete who was doing the guessing was able to correctly identify Gattone’s voice.

‘Men are still competing in women’s NCAA sports.’

ICONs also reported on Gattone’s participation in women’s athletics in 2024, when he was noted as the second male athlete to be competing in women’s sports in the conference.

Ithaca College competes in the NCAA’s Division III in the Liberty League conference, the same conference as Camden Schreiner (who goes by Sadie), a male athlete competing against women for the Rochester Institute of Technology. Schreiner set records in January by winning the women’s 200-meter dash in 24.50 seconds and the women’s 400-meter dash in 55.91 seconds. The times were also program records, according to RIT.

RIT later named Schreiner female athlete of the week but has since removed the page that showcased the honor.

Former NCAA athlete and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines reacted to Gattone’s inclusion in women’s rowing by saying the NCAA “purposefully deceived the public” with its new policy.

“Wait a minute…I thought the NCAA had a new policy that was in full compliance with Trump’s EO? Nope. Men are still competing in women’s NCAA sports,” Gaines wrote on X.

Gaines had previously complained that the NCAA’s new policy had glaring loopholes, including that it allowed men to participate in women’s practices and still be listed on their rosters.

Former gymnast and pro-women’s sports entrepreneur Jennifer Sey claimed the NCAA’s policy does not hold up.

“The NCAA’s new policy does nothing to protect women’s sports,” Sey wrote.

The Department of Education also recently declared that the NCAA must return and restore any women’s records that had been taken by men to their rightful owners. At least one former athlete, a national hurdling champion, has demanded that the NCAA award her a first-place finish after being beaten by a man in 2019.
