The White House confirmed Elon Musk is officially a “special government employee,” though questions remain about his security clearance and financial conflicts. The first flight of detained migrants landed in Guantanamo Bay, and El Salvador agreed to house U.S. prisoners—including citizens. The administration is also reportedly looking to shut down the Department of Education and OSHA.

Treasury official David Lebryk resigned after clashing with Elon Musk’s team over access to government payment systems, while Musk’s aides seized control of IT systems at the Government Services Agency. The Trump administration ordered mass layoffs at the Office of Personnel Management and the FBI, demanding names of agents involved in January 6th investigations. USAID’s website went offline amid leadership purges, and the CDC scrubbed key health data. Trump also ordered California dams opened, risking floods, and imposed steep tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, prompting retaliatory measures. His administration pushed for Ukrainian elections post-ceasefire. Meanwhile, Tennessee passed strict immigration laws, Louisiana indicted a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills, and companies like Meta considered fleeing Delaware over corporate governance issues. On the aviation front, a Learjet crash in Philadelphia killed seven, while a United Airlines flight was evacuated in Houston due to an engine fire. The NTSB announced it will now release crash updates only via X.
