President-elect Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” to be led by billionaire Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The office will focus on eliminating waste and fraud in government spending, with Musk and Ramaswamy acting as advisors to the White House and the Office of Budget & Management. While Congress holds the power to create federal agencies, the President-elect could also appoint the duo under the Federal Advisory Committees Act, allowing them to remain advisors outside of the traditional federal employee structure.

Matt Gaetz, a controversial figure in American politics, has been selected as Attorney General by former President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump got away with everything. It’s a statement that echoes in the minds of many, a sentiment of disbelief and frustration. The attack on the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021, an unprecedented assault on American democracy instigated by the sitting president, seems to have been met with an almost laughable lack of consequences. Trump, far from facing the full weight of the law for his actions, was not only acquitted by the Senate, but was even rewarded with a second run for the presidency, a clear sign that the system is failing to hold those in power accountable.
The sheer audacity of it all is mind-boggling.… Continue reading
Despite the clear language of the Twenty-Second Amendment, which prohibits a president from serving more than two terms, President Trump has expressed interest in running for a third term, suggesting he might only do so if his potential opponent is deemed exceptionally strong. This statement disregards the longstanding constitutional restriction established in 1951, following President Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms, and the unofficial precedent set by George Washington. The amendment unequivocally states that no person can be elected to the presidency more than twice, effectively barring Trump from seeking another term after his current one concludes.
