In a report on Monday, CNN reporters wrote that Stephen Miller, as deputy chief of staff for policy, has become one of the most powerful people in Washington, D.C. — with a massive influence on the president.

The National Security Agency (NSA), a largely clandestine global intelligence-gathering and counterintelligence organization that “prevents and eradicates threats to U.S. national security systems,” is reportedly undergoing a massive “purge” on its public and private websites and internal network, eliminating any site that contains any of a list of 27 words — despite possibly including mission-related work. The operation is an effort to comply with President Donald Trump’s order to eliminate any so-called “DEI” programs or language.

Trump has called DEI — diversity, equity, and inclusion — “illegal,” and in his January 21 executive order alleged that DEI “policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system. Hardworking Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.”

Former Republican Bill Kristol believes that President Donald Trump will regret taking a hatchet to the National Institutes for Health.

Although the administration has claimed that its cuts to administrative overhead won't affect research on projects such as treatments for cancer, Kristol argues in his latest piece at The Bulwark that "if you suddenly and drastically cut funding for the 'indirect' costs of research — the money used for the facilities, equipment, and staff that support biomedical research — you’re going to be cutting biomedical research."

U.S. District Judge John McConnell issued an order directing the Trump administration to immediately obey a previous restraining order halting a funding freeze for the National Institutes of Health and two Biden-era laws.
