“…missing from the revamped White House website…: pages explaining the #Constitution & #BillOfRights, …tourism, #equity, internships & info about fmr American presidents of both political parties.
“…Visitors to a Spanish-language version of the WH site also received a 404-error that told them the page could not be found.
“…When Trump entered the WH in 2017, his team took down pages about #LGBTQ+ rights & #ClimateChange, as it proverbially cleaned house.”

…these reassignments were unusual because they were ordered just as #Trump took office, said Mary McCord, a fmr #DOJ official who runs the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown University.
Top deputy positions in the #NationalSecurity division are typically career positions, though it’s possible the Trump administration is reassigning the career people to replace them with #political appointees, she said.

…Among the people being removed from the #NationalSecurity division is deputy assistant attorney general George Toscas, who has served there since 2006, according to 3 people familiar with the matter. Two people said he was transferred to a newly created *Office of Sanctuary Cities Enforcement* in the associate AG’s office. The office is tasked with identifying ways to enforce federal #immigration laws, a top priority of #Trump’s.

As a way to skirt #legal #protections afforded to career staffers, many of the officials were transferred to other positions inside #Justice, where they would probably have less influence on the department’s big decisions, the people said. The ofcls will have to decide whether to stay in their new assignments or leave the agency.

#Trump #DOJ removes senior career officials from key positions
The Trump admin has removed & reassigned several top career ofcls in the #Justice Dept’s #NationalSecurity & #criminal divisions….
…at least 15 experienced career staffers across several divisions were removed from their positions & reassigned, a sign that Trump & his aides plan to carry out their promises to dramatically reshape the agency, including to focus more on #immigration enforcement.

An ex-sister-in-law of #PeteHegseth’s submitted a sworn statement to senators on Tuesday that accused #Hegseth, #Trump’s nominee for secretary of #defense, of being so “abusive” toward his second wife that she once hid in a closet from him & had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him.

This is sad and really scary for these guys. #Biden would have provided them security, #Trump will egg these muther f⁕⚠︎ers on.
Via Fmr #CapitolPolice Officer #HarryDunn:
Sergeant Gonell sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

In its first cuts, #ElonMusk’s *non-governmental* advisory group, the Department of Government Efficiency, or #DOGE, posted a screenshot on X of a deleted page for the Office of Personnel Management’s inter-agency council for chief #diversity officers. The council advised agencies on diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs. #Trump on Monday promised the end of #DEI practices in federal government & said hiring would be based on merit (sure, Jan). “It begins,” Musk posted.

Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder that will attempt to amend the #14thAmendment to revoke #BirthrightCitizenship. The president cannot change the #Constitution on his own, so it’s not yet clear how Trump plans to withhold the benefits of #citizenship to a group of people born in the #UnitedStates. The move is all but certain to be challenged in court.

#Trump, from the Oval Office, has signed what he described as “full pardons” for about 1,500 #Jan6 defendants. He said he also signed commutations of sentences for 6 defendants but did not say who they were.

Another is related to the government’s #refugee programs. 4 yrs ago, #Biden revoked one of #Trump’s 2017 orders to greatly increase the security vetting of refugees applying to resettle in the US.
Trump signs an executive order designating cartel organizations as “foreign terrorist organizations.” Trump says Mexico will probably not be happy with the order.

#Trump rescinded a #Biden #ExecutiveOrder that directed the federal govt to rebuild the US #refugee program. Refugee admissions will be suspended for at least 4 months.
2 of the 78 rescissions Trump announced restore #immigration orders that Biden revoked through EO 4yrs ago. One addresses civil immigration enforcement. In 2017,Trump issued an order to strengthen immigration enforcement inside the country & to withhold funds from local agencies that refuse to cooperate w/immigration enforcement.

Among the #Biden executive actions rescinded by #Trump include an order that directed the federal government to prioritize racial #equity in its policy making.
The Trump admin revoked a Biden executive order that created a task force to reunify families separated at the southern #border. In the time the task force was in place, it reunified nearly 800 children with their parents, according to a report it released last year.

#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders are so far entirely BS. Almost every single one will have no effect. They are either “messaging” like withdrawal from the #ParisAccord (technically Trump needs to submit a letter to the UN & then that doesn’t go into effect for a full year) or will 100% be legally challenged.

The #Pentagon unveiled a portrait of ret. Gen. #MarkMilley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, earlier this month.
But now that #Trump is president, & hours after Milley received a pre-emptive pardon from #Biden on his way out the door, Milley's portrait appears to have been taken down.
Milley served in his Joint Chiefs role under both Trump & Biden, & according to a book by journalist Bob Woodward, Milley called Trump “a #fascist to the core.”
