With polling showing support for Donald Trump in freefall, young Trump voters were pressed by the New York Times to give the embattled president a report card after eight months on the job.

Trump's EPA busted in DOGE savings lie: 'There was some confusion'

While the Environmental Protection Agency has touted tens of millions of dollars in savings under the direction of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, newly-obtained emails paint a very different story, and one that EPA leadership privately admitted was less favorable than they were saying in public.

Lee Zeldin, President Donald Trump’s pick to head the EPA during his second term, proudly bragged on social media in February that with DOGE’s help, he had cancelled $67 million in “wasteful [diversity, equity and inclusion] and environmental justice grants.” And yet, according to internal emails obtained and reported on by Notus, internal discussions show that the agency was well aware the figures were inaccurate.
