Today’s Big Story…

FBI Director Kash Patel is working aggressively to meet congressional document requests ahead of schedule, reinforcing his commitment to transparency for the American people and the Trump administration.

Late last week, the FBI notified the House Judiciary Committee that it was handing over a tranche of documents in response to Chairman Jim Jordan’s subpoena. The records include over 400 pages on topics long sought by the committee, dating back to the Biden administration, such as Merrick Garland’s controversial school board memo and the Jan. 6 pipe bomb investigation.

The FBI complied more than a week before Jordan’s March 17 deadline, handing over documents on its social media interactions and the now-disbanded Foreign Influence Task Force. The records had minimal redactions, and the FBI plans to release more to the House Judiciary Committee in the coming weeks.

Patel's efforts follow years of Republican complaints about the FBI missing deadlines under Directors Wray and Comey. The bureau is also working with Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley to meet his document requests early. In a Fox News report, Grassley praised Patel for his swift immediacy, stating, "Thank the Lord."

Another Big Story…

The Trump administration is replacing the CBP One app with CBP Home, a new platform focused on facilitating self-deportation.

Unlike its predecessor, which allowed illegals to schedule parole appointments at U.S. ports of entry under the Biden administration, CBP Home removes that feature. Instead, it enables illegal aliens to submit their "Intent to Depart" and verify their departure from the U.S.

Last month, Noem announced that the CBP One app could no longer be used for illegal aliens to board domestic flights, except for self-deportation purposes. The app will update automatically for all CBP One users so that CBP Home is the main feature, officially ending the CBP One’s legacy of permitting easy border crossings under the Biden administration.

My Thoughts…

Transparency is the way to win trust. While sensitive material needs secrecy, Americans know when they are lied to; on average, we have good BS detectors. Director Patel knows this, and it seems his approach will be to reform the FBI as an agency seeking to safeguard the security of our societies in the U.S. from terrorists and criminal illegal aliens as transparently as possible. Gone are the days of FBI agents being sent to hunt down grandmothers who were in a multi-mile radius of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Efficiency is key, too. Redefining the controversial CBP One app and evolving it from a program that provided easy entry to essentially an exit survey from the U.S. is brilliant. Arrest and deportation numbers NEED to scale up. While it’s not easy with radical judges and sanctuary city policies, other measures to induce self-deportation, like the new CBP Home app, will help get the numbers up on illegal aliens leaving the country.

The Administration…

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the cancellation of 83% of USAID contracts following a multi-week review, cutting 5,200 programs deemed not in U.S. interests. Rubio said the move would save “tens of billions of dollars.”

• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appointed Todd Lyons as acting ICE director and Madison Sheahan as deputy director, aiming to restore accountability under President Trump amidst an ICE leadership overhaul.

• National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard announced that she had revoked the security clearances of several anti-Trump operatives, barring them from accessing classified information. Among them are the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter suggesting Hunter Biden’s laptop had "the classic earmarks" of Russian disinformation. The list also includes Antony Blinken, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman.

• HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is on high alert as a measles outbreak has claimed two lives—an adult in New Mexico and a school-age child in Gaines County, Texas. The outbreak, concentrated in a close-knit, under-vaccinated Mennonite community, has led to 124 confirmed cases, with 18 hospitalizations. The Texas Health Department reports 62 infections are in children aged 5-17, while 39 cases are 4 and younger. Five of the infected received the MMR vaccine.

• The CDC, under HHS Secretary RFK Jr., is launching a large study to examine a possible link between vaccines and autism. A 2020 CDC study found that 1 in 36 U.S. children are diagnosed with autism.

• EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the cancellation of over 400 DEI and environmental justice grants, saving $1.7 billion across nine programs. He highlighted that this brings the EPA’s total savings to over $2 billion.

• Steven Blitz of TS Lombard sees the latest jobs data as a sign of ongoing economic growth with no immediate recession risks from Trump’s policies. However, he warns that their long-term impact could harm the economy if they disrupt capital spending or trade.

• NORAD has raised concerns over a sharp rise in airspace violations near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, reporting over 20 incidents since his second term began. Gen. Gregory Guillot attributes the surge to civilian pilots and is urging better compliance with flight restrictions. The latest violation occurred this past weekend

• The Philadelphia Eagles have accepted President Trump’s invitation to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory. Both the White House and the team confirmed they are coordinating an upcoming date.

• Amazon Prime Video will stream "The Apprentice," the reality show that boosted President Trump’s profile. The first seven seasons will be released weekly through late April. Premiering in 2004, the show and its spinoff, "Celebrity Apprentice," helped launch Trump’s national stardom.

Vice President…

JD Vance addressed thousands at the National League of Cities conference in Washington, D.C., urging local leaders to enforce new federal immigration laws to curb illegal immigration.

He also tackled the housing crisis issues, citing a 30-year low in home sales and a survey showing three-quarters of Americans see affordability as a major issue. Vance suggested cutting local regulatory fees, which comprise 20% of new home costs, but emphasized that reducing housing demand is key. He noted that affording a new home now requires nearly double the average family’s combined income.

Congress…

With a government shutdown looming, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is planning a House vote today on a six-month funding extension, relying solely on Republican support. If it passes the House, it will need 60 Senate votes, requiring at least 7 Democrats to break a filibuster. However, Democratic senators have rejected the proposal.

The Senate confirmed Lori Chavez-DeRemer (D-OR) as Labor Secretary in a 67-32 vote. With this, all 21 of Trump’s second-term Cabinet nominees are confirmed. The only outstanding appointment is Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for U.N. Ambassador, due to the House GOP’s slim majority and NY Gov. Kathy Hochul slowing the process of holding a special election for her replacement.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is facing backlash for featuring transgender singer Laura Jane Grace during his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, after she performed a song critics called "pure evil" for mocking God and Jesus. During a stop in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Grace performed an anti-Christian song before Sanders publicly thanked her for the performance.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is also joining the "Stop Oligarchy Tour," plans to hold anti-Trump rallies in red districts of Pennsylvania and New York to mobilize voters against his second term. Following Trump's 6-point gain in New York's 2024 election, AOC vows to go "on the offense."

The House overwhelmingly passed a bill targeting Mexican cartel tunnels used for smuggling across the southwestern border in a 402-1 vote. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was the sole dissenter.

A group of 21 House Republicans is urging a key committee to limit changes to energy tax credits as the GOP pushes tax code reforms. They are calling for "targeted and pragmatic" adjustments.

Members of Congress visited Guantanamo Bay as the military base now holds illegal aliens. President Trump plans to detain up to 30,000 there before deportation, prioritizing "the worst criminal aliens."

The Resistance…

In Non-Trump News…

Although we deliver you domestic and international news later this afternoon via the DML REPORT newsletter, here are a few worth mentioning now:

1. Elon Musk’s X suffered multiple major outages in a single day, leaving users worldwide unable to access the platform. Musk attributed the disruptions to a "massive cyberattack." The first outage peaked at 21,000 reports; a second, more severe outage later spiked reports to over 40,000. Users across major U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, experienced disruptions on both web and mobile. A group called “Dark Storm Team” is claiming responsibility; Musk tracked their IP address to Ukraine.

2. Researchers in India warn that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, like those from Pfizer and Moderna, may reactivate dormant viruses, potentially leading to serious health risks, including cancer. A study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences suggests that these vaccines could impair toll-like receptors (TLRs)—key immune proteins—allowing latent viruses such as herpes, hepatitis, and HPV to resurface. This disruption may trigger chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and tumor growth.

3. Experts warn that certain high-paying white-collar jobs may carry an unexpected cancer risk. Pilots, for example, face double the risk of melanoma due to high-altitude UV and cosmic radiation exposure. Meanwhile, sedentary desk jobs also pose a threat—women who sit for over six hours daily have a 43% higher risk of ovarian cancer than those sitting for less than three hours, according to the American Cancer Society.

Your Opinions & Questions…

J77Totten: Love this newsletter! One question, does Vice President Vance have secret service protection? It looks like he doesn’t since he is getting harassed a lot!

47 Report: We glad you enjoy it! And yes, Vance has Secret Service protection, which began in July 2024 when he became the vice-presidential nominee. The Secret Service assigns code names, and Vance's code name is "Bobcat." Based on his interaction in Ohio over the weekend, it looks like he needs more agents on his detail!
