26.02.2025 โข Day Budget Passed While Musk Crashed Cabinet
โจHouse Republicans narrowly passed Trump's $4.5T budget resolution in early morning hours after significant pressure. The plan includes deep tax cuts and federal spending reductions, particularly targeting Medicaid.
By midday, Trump's first Cabinet meeting dominated coverage, with Elon Musk's unexpected attendance drawing scrutiny. Some Cabinet members expressed disagreement with Musk's approach as agencies received directives to prepare for "large-scale" workforce reductions. The Washington Post's opinion editor resigned following Bezos's directive to focus on free markets.
Evening coverage centered on Ukraine developments, as Trump refused to guarantee Ukraine's security in the minerals deal scheduled for Zelensky's Friday signing. The EPA moved to repeal climate findings that underpin electric vehicle regulations, while federal agencies continued resisting Musk's workforce demands. Reports emerged of over 100 intelligence officials facing dismissal over inappropriate communications.
