American &#8211; March 8, 2025<\/a><br \/>\nYesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made it clear that the Trump administration\u2019s goal is to slash the federal government and to privatize its current services. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Bessent\u2019s comments reveal that the White House is beginning to feel the pressure of the unpopularity of its policies. Trump\u2019s rejection of 80 years of U.S. foreign policy in order to prop up Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin has left many Americans as well as allies aghast. Trump\u2019s claims that Putin wants peace were belied when Russia launched massive strikes at Ukraine as soon as Trump stopped sharing intelligence with Ukrainian forces that enabled them to shoot down incoming fire.<\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s dramatic\u2014and likely illegal and unconstitutional\u2014cuts are infuriating Americans who did not expect Trump to reorder the American government so completely. While billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump repeatedly say they are cutting only \u201cwaste, fraud, and abuse\u201d from the government, that insistence appears to be rhetorical rather than backed by fact. And yesterday, new cuts appeared to continue the gutting of government services that generally appear to be important to Americans\u2019 health, safety, and economic security.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/closertotheedge.substack.com\/p\/the-red-x-of-arrogance-how-snopes\" target=\"_blank\">The Red \u201cX\u201d of Arrogance: How Snopes and France 24 Got Lazy and Let a Pro-Russian Hack Rewrite History<\/a>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/steady.substack.com\/p\/oh-freedom\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Oh Freedom\u2019<\/a><br \/>\nA Reason To Smile<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehandbasket.co\/p\/rep-al-green-democrats-suozzi-censure\" target=\"_blank\">The time for a spine<\/a><br \/>\nDemocrats who censured Rep.

Interest in the offer among air-traffic controllers was alarming, agency officials told me, because an internal FAA safety report had found that staffing at the air-traffic-control tower at Reagan airport was \u201cnot normal\u201d at the time of January\u2019s deadly crash.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nAs hundreds of career officials depart, the FAA has a fresh face in its midst: Ted Malaska, a SpaceX engineer who arrived at the agency last month with instructions from SpaceX\u2019s owner, Elon Musk, to deploy equipment from the SpaceX subsidiary Starlink across the FAA\u2019s communications network. The directive promises to make the nation\u2019s air-traffic-control system dependent on the billionaire Trump ally, using equipment that experts say has not gone through strict U.S.-government security and risk-management review.<\/p>\n<li>Oops, Scientists May Have Miscalculated Our Global Warming Timeline<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nRegardless of the percentage, one thing is certain\u2014climate change is an all-hands-on-deck crisis.
