Power Moves and Panic—The Shifts No One Saw Coming
The FBI’s leadership just changed overnight. The White House is playing hardball with Ukraine. The DOGEhouse is exposing government waste in real time. Some people are winning, others are scrambling.
Good Morning
Some shifts happen gradually. Others happen all at once.
Kash Patel is now Director of the FBI, and the same people who once cheered on the agency’s political weaponizationare suddenly calling it a threat to democracy. The White House is turning up the pressure on Ukraine, making it clear that the era of blank checks and unconditional support is over.
And now, for the first time ever, we’re launching The DOGEhouse—a dedicated section exposing exactly where your money is going and how much of it has been wasted. Billions of taxpayer dollars have vanished with no oversight, and Musk’s watchdogs are pulling back the curtain.
The board is shifting, the players are repositioning, and the people who thought they were running the game aren’t calling the shots anymore.
Kash Patel Confirmed as FBI Director—The Deep State’s Worst Nightmare Just Became Reality
Kash Patel has been confirmed as Director of the FBI, and Washington is in full-blown panic mode. A longtime Trump ally and national security expert, Patel has been one of the fiercest critics of the FBI’s corruption and has vowed to clean house from day one. His confirmation is the biggest shake-up in the agency’s history, and the people who once weaponized federal law enforcement are bracing for what’s coming next.
For years, the FBI has been at the center of political scandals, cover-ups, and blatant abuses of power. Patel, who played a key role in exposing the Russian collusion hoax and intelligence failures, has long argued that the bureau operates as a political weapon rather than an impartial law enforcement agency. Now, he has the power to do something about it.
The Senate confirmation battle was brutal, with establishment figures doing everything in their power to stop Patel from taking over. His appointment sends shockwaves through Washington, marking the first time in modern history that the FBI will be run by someone who openly wants to dismantle its corrupt inner circle.
Patel has already made it clear: there will be consequences. From mass firings to full-scale investigations into political targeting, suppression of key cases, and collusion with Big Tech, the new FBI leadership is ready to turn the tables.
The same people who manipulated the system for years are now fearing what happens when the agency they controlled is finally forced to answer for its actions.

Hamas Leaves a Sick Message on Israeli Hostages’ Coffins
Hamas has once again shown its brutality by returning the bodies of Israeli hostages with deliberate desecration. The bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two young children, who were kidnapped on October 7, were finally handed over—but not before Hamas used their coffins as a platform for propaganda. The terrorist group mocked Israel and gloated over the murders, further proving that they have no interest in peace—only bloodshed.
This horrific stunt comes as international pressure mounts on Hamas to release remaining hostages and negotiate a ceasefire. With each atrocity, they only cement their role as the world’s most barbaric terror regime. More

Trump’s Policies Cut Illegal Immigration by 95%—Miller Calls It a Victory
Stephen Miller is calling it a historic win—new data shows that Trump’s immigration policies led to a 95% drop in illegal crossings. Strict enforcement, the Remain in Mexico policy, and mass deportations dramatically slowed the flood of migrants into the U.S., proving that border security is possible when leaders actually enforce the law.
The contrast is striking—under Biden, record numbers of illegal crossings drained resources, increased crime, and overwhelmed border states. With Trump back in office, those days are over. The border is back under control, and the results speak for themselves. More

Federal Agencies Rack Up $40 Billion on 4.6 Million Credit Cards in FY2024
A recent report reveals that federal agencies collectively charged $40 billion across 4.6 million government-issued credit cards during the fiscal year 2024. This massive expenditure has raised concerns about oversight and the potential for misuse of taxpayer funds. Critics argue that the sheer volume of transactions makes it challenging to monitor spending effectively, leading to calls for stricter controls and transparency in government spending.
Schools’ COVID-Relief Funds Misused on Extravagant Expenses
Investigations have uncovered that schools have spent nearly $200 billion in COVID-Relief funds with minimal oversight, leading to questionable expenditures such as:
• $393,000 to rent a Major League Baseball stadium
• $86,000 on Caesars Palace hotel rooms
• $60,000 on swimming pool passes
• Funds allocated for an ice cream truck
These expenditures were made without proper documentation, prompting the U.S. Department of Education to implement a new rule: all future grantees must provide receipts for every purchase before funding is released. This measure aims to ensure that the remaining $4 billion in relief funds are used appropriately to benefit students.
$8 Billion Typographical Error Corrected by DOGE
In September 2022, a contracting officer mistakenly recorded an $8 billion entry instead of $8 million in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

Throughout this period, DOGE maintained accurate internal calculations using the correct $8 million figure.
CMS Saves Taxpayers $360 Million by Streamlining ACA Navigator Program
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have implemented cost-saving measures that resulted in $360 million in taxpayer savings by overhauling the Affordable Care Act Navigator program. Previously, CMS spent $98 million to enroll 92,000 individuals in federally facilitated health exchanges, averaging $1,061 per enrollment. Notably, 12 out of 56 navigator programs had costs exceeding $3,000 per enrollment. In 2019, the program operated with just $10 million, achieving similar enrollment percentages. The recent streamlining efforts aim to maintain enrollment rates while significantly reducing expenditures, enhancing program efficiency.

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”
— Gerald Ford
Not everyone is playing to win. Some are playing to survive.
The FBI, the White House, and the bureaucrats losing their grip are all making their next moves. Some are going on the attack. Others are backing into a corner.
The question isn’t who’s shifting positions—it’s who’s about to be taken off the board entirely.
See you in tomorrow’s issue.
