Friday, February 7th, 2025 - Trump’s “Anti-Christian Bias” task force; Musk’s DOGE scandal; CBS lawsuit; Federal buyouts; New bird flu threat
Today’s Headlines: Trump announced a new task force to combat “anti-Christian bias,” led by AG Pam Bondi, and signed an executive order directing agencies to identify and halt anti-Christian discrimination. A federal judge temporarily blocked the deadline for federal employees to accept the administration’s buyout offer, while another judge prevented Elon Musk’s DOGE team from accessing Treasury records. A DOGE staffer resigned over racist tweets, and reports suggest the team has been feeding Education Department financial data into AI software. In Congress, Russell Vought was confirmed as OMB director despite a 30-hour Democratic filibuster, while Kash Patel’s FBI nomination was delayed for a week. Meanwhile, CBS released unedited 60 Minutes footage after Trump’s lawsuit accusing them of election interference, but he continues to attack the network, with his FCC chair calling their actions “concerning.” Finally, a new strain of bird flu was detected in Nevada dairy cattle, adding to rising concerns over multiple emerging variants.
