Rubio: Major Cuts Coming to State Department

DOGE is coming for the foreign policy wing of the federal government. “Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday announced a ‘reorganization’ of the State Department, with plans to make staffing cuts and consolidate domestic offices,” CBS News reports.

‘Sprawling Bureaucracy’: “Rubio reposted X posts in which Free Press journalists said the move would entail closing 132 offices, moving 137 offices elsewhere, and directing undersecretaries to reduce personnel by anywhere between 15-17%. Another senior State Department official told reporters on Tuesday that the personnel reduction would be 22%,” the network relates. “Rubio called the State Department in its current form ‘bloated, bureaucratic, and unable to perform its essential diplomatic mission in this new era of great power competition. … The sprawling bureaucracy created a system more beholden to radical political ideology than advancing America’s core national interests,’” he said in a statement.

RFK Jr.: Artificial Dyes Exiting US Food Supply

It’s a bold step for the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again agenda. “Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday said the government will phase out all artificial dyes from the food supply by the end of next year – a swift timeline that could meet resistance from the powerful food industry,” NBC News reports.

Goodbye Orange B: “Under the plan, the Food and Drug Administration will give the food industry roughly two years to transition from petroleum-based synthetic dyes to natural alternatives, according to a release from the Department of Health and Human Services,” the network details. “At the same time, the agency will authorize four new food dyes it says are derived from natural sources in the coming weeks. The FDA is beginning a process to revoke the approval of two of the artificial dyes – Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B – ‘within the coming months,’ HHS said. Citrus Red No. 2 is used to color the skin of oranges.” Related: MAHA vs microplastics – to ensure the first, get rid of the second…

Supreme Court Signals It Supports Parents on LGBT Opt-Outs

Is another blow against institutional wokeness on its way? “Supreme Court justices on Tuesday signaled support for parents who are challenging Montgomery County, Maryland’s, policy requiring public school students to sit through LGBTQ-heavy instructions on tolerance without the chance to opt out,” The Washington Times reports.

‘What Is the Big Deal?’ “Eric Baxter, the lawyer for the parents, said they aren’t asking for the program to be canceled but want the chance to keep their children from being taught messages about sex and marriage that clash with their religious beliefs. That resonated with the court’s Republican appointees,” the paper notes. “‘What is the big deal of allowing them to opt out of this?’ asked Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. ‘You’re not seeking to prohibit instruction in the classroom. You’re just seeking not to be forced to participate in that instruction,’ said Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. Alan Schoenfeld, the county school board’s lawyer, said the county’s goal isn’t indoctrination but tolerance, and he said that requires exposing students to concepts that some families find objectionable.” Related: Homeschooling on the rise globally…

Sarah Palin Loses Defamation Suit Against NY Times

A major dominant media outlet has notched a significant courtroom win. “Sarah Palin was not defamed by The New York Times, a Manhattan jury found Tuesday after the former Alaska governor claimed she was smeared by a 2017 editorial linking her to mass shootings,” The New York Post reports.

Big-Box Victory: “The nine-person jury deliberated in Manhattan federal court for two hours before finding that the Gray Lady did not libel the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate,” the paper chronicles. “Palin, 61, was visibly dejected upon hearing the verdict, which followed a nearly two-week civil trial. She testified on Monday that she’d been hit with death threats following the publication of the opinion piece that claimed her campaign rhetoric inspired an assassination attempt on former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords six years earlier. ‘It just kicks the oomph right out of you,’ she told the court.” Related: Bogus Beat: Big money Left funds faux ‘local’ journalism charade…

Al Gore Equates Trump Administration With Nazi Germany

He played the Hitler Card – to the hilt. “Former Vice President Al Gore on Monday compared President Donald Trump’s administration to Nazi Germany and issued a dire warning about Trump’s use of power in a speech devoted to climate change,” Politico reports.

‘Emergent Evil’: “Speaking at an event at the start of San Francisco’s Climate Week, Gore said the Trump administration was ‘trying to create their own preferred version of reality’ to achieve its sweeping objectives similar to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party in the 1930s and ’40s,” the news site writes. “‘I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,’ Gore said to an audience of roughly 150 climate advocates and policymakers gathered at a science museum on San Francisco’s waterfront. ‘It was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it. But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.’” Related: Political extremism and the brain…
