Elon Musk took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, wielding a chainsaw to symbolize the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) aggressive cuts to federal spending. Dressed in a “Dark MAGA” outfit, the Tesla CEO received the tool from Argentine President Javier Milei, who joined him onstage.

“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!” Musk declared, hoisting the chainsaw engraved with Milei’s slogan, “Viva la libertad, carajo,” translating to “Long live freedom, damn it!” The prop underscored Musk’s role as a key adviser to President Donald Trump, leading DOGE’s mission to slash government waste.

Musk’s appearance followed DOGE’s reported savings of $55 billion, including mass layoffs like the 6,000 IRS jobs cut earlier that day. “Chainsaw!” he shouted, parading the tool before a cheering crowd, later calling it a “real picture” on X.

Milei, known for similar fiscal slashing in Argentina, hugged Musk before presenting the gift. The event highlighted their shared global vision of downsizing government. 

Trump launches MASSIVE investigation in to missing child migrants that disappeared!

The Trump administration has launched a sweeping investigation into the disappearance of tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the U.S. border during the Biden administration, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Friday. The probe targets over 300,000 cases, aiming to locate more than 75,000 children already found in the first two weeks.

Officials allege lax vetting policies under Biden allowed some children to fall into the hands of sexual predators and human traffickers. “The Biden administration’s failure to protect these kids is a disgrace,” a senior Trump official said. The investigation uncovered cases where sponsors used fake or doctored images to claim custody, rarely challenged by government staff.

Proposed reforms include fingerprinting, mandatory DNA testing, and facial recognition to verify sponsors, alongside expanded background checks and post-release monitoring. “We’re bringing these kids back from the shadows,” the official added.

The administration vows to continue, emphasizing child safety as a priority on Feb. 21, 2025.

CBS Evening News is doing it’s best CNN impression - "It’s A DISASTER"

CBS News is grappling with a deepening ratings crisis following a shift to a dual-anchor format for its "Evening News," with former executives and producers labeling the change a "disaster." The network’s new setup, featuring Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson, has pivoted to a magazine-style broadcast, moving away from its traditional headline-driven approach.

"It’s a disaster," a former CBS News executive told the Daily Mail, pointing to the "mind-boggling" decision to dilute the program’s news focus. A veteran producer, who spent a decade at the network, echoed the sentiment: "They took the ‘news’ out of the ‘Evening News!’ It’s not surprising the audience is leaving in droves."

The shift comes amid stiff competition from ABC’s "World News Tonight" with David Muir and NBC’s "Nightly News" with Lester Holt, both of which have seen ratings rise. Internal turmoil has compounded the issue, with the recent resignation of Adrienne Roark, president of editorial and news gathering, after just seven months. As CBS parent Paramount nears a merger with Skydance, sources suggest more leadership shake-ups loom, threatening further instability at the embattled network.
