The article discusses the diminished snowfall forecast for the day and highlights a range of political news, from the resignation of Denise Cheung in the US Attorney's office amid environmental grant controversies, to President Biden's executive order affecting independent agencies. It also touches on legal developments regarding Elon Musk's DOGE project, which raised concerns about oversight, and the ongoing budget cuts across various government departments, including significant layoffs at the FAA and potential reductions at the DOD.
Denise Cheung, who ran the criminal division in the US Attorney's office in DC, said she was asked to resign yesterday. She appears to have rebuffed what the Washington Post describes as the Trump administration's "hurried effort to halt billions of dollars in environmental grants approved under the Biden administration."
The President signed an executive order that, unless challenged successfully, would move independent agencies under his control.
A federal judge declined to block Elon Musk's DOGE project from accessing federal systems, but she said that "questions about Musk's apparent 'unchecked authority' and lack of congressional oversight for DOGE are legitimate."
Cuts, cuts, cuts: The FAA has fired hundreds of people. DOD is in line for reductions. USDA is trying to reverse cuts that claimed people working on bird flu.
