With all that’s happened in the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, it’s easy to miss big developments from various agencies. Therefore, today I’m going to give you a comprehensive update on what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been up to in the month of April.

One of the first things that President Donald Trump did upon assuming office was to take an agency first established by President Barack Obama and change it into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

He then placed Elon Musk in charge of that department, with the stated goal to root out government waste and fraud. And what’s been happening for the past three months is that DOGE has found a lot of what it calls wasteful spending. It’s not just “finding it,” however. Different departments of the government are taking steps to cut spending and cancel contracts, based on DOGE’s recommendations.

According to the official tally, DOGE’s efforts have saved U.S. taxpayers roughly $160 billion—which is equivalent to just under $1,000 saved for every U.S. taxpayer.

However, for a variety of reasons, most media have stopped devoting major coverage to DOGE’s efforts. There was a lot of coverage at the beginning, when many people were getting laid off, but recently, immigration-related news has taken a lot of the oxygen out of the news cycle, and therefore, most people don’t know what DOGE has been up to recently.

Today, we give you a comprehensive update on what DOGE has been doing for the past month.

After the terror attack in Kashmir on April 22, tensions between India and Pakistan have hit a boiling point, with India suspending a water treaty that’s been in place between the two countries for 75 years.

Pakistan has labeled this move an act of war.

Let’s go through the details of these tit-for-tat escalations between two nations that both possess nuclear weapons.

Within the context of billions of dollars having been spent on national, state, and local elections during the 2024 cycle, an effort is underway to add a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The issue that this amendment would try and fix has to do with the fact that both wealthy Americans, as well as wealthy foreigners, are able to shape local American elections (including referendums, ballot initiatives, and recalls). In fact, there are some local elections in the country where close to 90 percent of the donations came from out-of-state. This raises the question—if someone is elected under those conditions, do they really represent the will of their local constituents?

As a possible answer to that question, there is a new proposed amendment to the Constitution which has now been endorsed by 23 out of the necessary 38 states.

This amendment, if passed, would officially become the 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution—and it would allow the banning of both foreign (as well as out-of-state funding) in local races.

On a previous episode, we discussed how the Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favor in an immigration case—a case involving the deportation of illegal immigrants present here in the United States. However, that earlier case was won by Trump on a technicality: the lawyers for the illegal immigrant decided to file their case in Washington (rather than in Texas, where the man was being held) and, therefore, the case was dismissed due to being brought forth in the wrong venue.

But, very notably, the underlying legal issues weren’t actually examined. The question of whether the Alien Enemies Act could really be used against illegal immigrants such as Venezuelan gang members wasn’t ruled on.

Therefore, more lawsuits were filed. And one of those new lawsuits bore fruit, as the U.S. Supreme Court decided to stop the Trump administration from being able to deport members of Tren de Aragua, for now.

The attorney general of the United States has just issued a new Justice Department rule, rescinding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) authority to restore gun rights to those who’ve had them taken away.

This action opens the door for potentially millions of people to get their Second Amendment rights restored.

Let’s go through it together.

In North Carolina, the state Supreme Court has just issued a ruling forcing the state to count tens of thousands of votes that are missing crucial details, such as having no driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on file.

This decision is especially crucial given the fact that the election in question is currently split by only about 700 votes—meaning this one decision can actually change the outcome of the race.
