A CNN investigation: a Trump official -- who works at the agency helping to execute the DOGE cuts -- has been trying to build her online brand -- while on the clock. All from inside her government office.

Just 3 years ago Rubio wrote a letter to Biden suggesting they *increase* the USAID budget as a tool to “counter the CCP’s expanding global influence.”

Contradicting comments he made Monday that dismissed concerns of China stepping in where USAID left.

Trump FBI pick Kash Patel has expressed admiration for followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

We met one QAnon super-fan who has had Patel on his show.

A Trump transition team spox said this story is a "pathetic attempt at guilt by association..."

Our recent KFile reporting found Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, justified the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack & spread baseless conspiracy theories that the initial break-in was carried out by leftist groups. https://t.co/sTVy6WkZXn

.@CNNPolitics: Before DOGE, Ramaswamy spent years attacking Musk for ties to China. More from @KFILE and @Winter__Hawk: https://t.co/fXS6f95qoa

[Winter Hawk @Winter__Hawk]

CNN’s KFile reviewed hundreds of radio/TV appearances of the nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth. One of Trump’s most ardent supporters after the 2016 election, Hegseth often praised Trump’s decisions and sometimes encouraged him to go further.

Our CNN KFile review uncovered audio and video of Vivek Ramaswamy repeatedly criticizing his Department of Government Efficiency co-chair, Elon Musk, for business ties to China, often referring to Musk as a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

🚨NEW: Audio and video we uncovered show Vivek Ramaswamy spent years attacking his DOGE partner Elon Musk as a puppet of China. Calling him “in China’s pocket,” “bending the knee to Xi Jinping,” and jumping “like a circus monkey” to get China’s business.

Gaza is “a post-apocalyptic environment,” with “people just waiting to be killed, either by airstrike, by disease, or even by hunger,” says UNRWA chief Philippe @UNLazzarini.

On the consequences of the Knesset vote to stop UNRWA’s operations, he warns “that means that the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza will collapse.”

Watch my full conversation with UNRWA’s commissioner general about the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, Israel’s move to shut down the organization, allegations of links to Hamas, and more.

So excited to see this collaboration between @HowardCenterUMD and @politico out in the world. The research by our team was unprecedented and revealing.

“You have 50 people on the floor bleeding to death and sometimes it feels like there's more dead bodies or body parts than there are people to treat”. Dr. Samer Attar, an American surgeon, tells me what he witnessed in Gaza: “Every day felt like a horror show".

Abdul Rahman was a newborn when the Gaza war began. Now the ten-month-old is the first confirmed polio case in Gaza in 25 years, helpless to fight off the disease that grips his small body. @JDiamond1 tells his story.

Latest: Committee to Protect Journalists has asked Israel to explain the deaths of two al Jazeera journalists in Gaza in what it says “appears to be a direct strike.”

The Committee called on Israel “to explain the killing of Al Jazeera Gaza correspondent Ismail Al-Ghoul and camera operator Rami Al-Rifi”, who were killed in a strike while in their car near Gaza City.
