I was not given a reason for this decision,” he wrote in the missive, obtained by The Post. Dennehy apologized for the abruptness of his resignation in the

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency that provides healthcare for retired military members, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The VA’s chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, told top level officials at the agency that it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000.
That would require terminating tens of thousands of employees after the VA expanded during the Biden administration, as well as to cover veterans impacted by burn pits under the 2022 PACT Act.

ASA's stranded astronauts have put on a brave face throughout their uncertain nine-month stay on the International Space Station - but that appeared to slip in a recent interview.
Barry Wilmore seemed to suggest he and his crewmate Sunita Williams had been caught up in political games in Washington.
SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk, whose spaceflight company was tasked with bringing Williams and Wilmore home later this month, has repeatedly said the Biden administration 'abandoned' them for 'political reasons.'
Musk has also said that former president Joe Biden rejected his offer to bring the astronauts home early because it would've made Donald Trump and his supporters 'look good.'
The White House Presidential Personnel Office is staffing President Donald Trump’s administration at a rapid pace, even as candidates go through a thorough vetting process, including a measurement of “loyalty” to the president.
The personnel office, which is in charge of recruiting, vetting, and recommending candidates to fill the president’s 4,000 political appointees, including the 1,600 Cabinet officials and other nominees who require confirmation in the Senate, filled more than 1,300 executive branch vacancies on the president’s first day in office.
According to three PPO officials, granted anonymity by the Washington Examiner to discuss internal matters, Trump had extended 2,000 offers to possible hires as of Tuesday,
On Wednesday morning, in a 5-4 emergency decision, the Supreme Court upheld a decision from U.S. District Judge Amir Ali that essentially says that Donald Trump can't withhold $2 billion in USAID money from existing contractors. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberal members of the court. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh voted in favor of Trump, with Justice Alito writing the lengthy dissent that begins with: Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer
Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives will question the mayors of four of the country's largest cities on Wednesday about their so-called "sanctuary city" laws, which restrict local officials in helping enforce federal immigration regulations.
The Republicans who lead the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee have long criticized such laws, as has U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican who returned to the White House in January promising to deport more unauthorized immigrants than his predecessors. The committee has invited the mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver and New York City, all Democrats, to explain and defend the laws during a televised hearing at 10 a.m.
Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas) died late Tuesday after serving just two months and a day in Congress, party officials said Wednesday. He was 70.
Turner’s death was confirmed by his successor as mayor of Houston, John Whitmire, and former Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison.
“I’m so heartbroken to learn about the passing of my dear friend Congressman and former Mayor @SylvesterTurner!” Harrison wrote on X. ” We became friends during the DNC Convention Site selection process in 2018. A visionary leader and advocate… I will miss my friend and he will be missed by so many in his beloved Houston, TX.
President Donald Trump is proving once again why he’s the king of slashing government waste and draining the swamp.
In a blockbuster report from Bloomberg, the Trump administration has unveiled plans to unload a massive portfolio of 443 federal properties across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico—properties bloated with bureaucracy, including the headquarters of the DOJ, FBI, and even the General Services Administration (GSA) itself.
The General Services Administration (GSA) disclosed a list of 443 “non-core” assets, encompassing a mix of prime commercial spaces that currently serve as regional hubs for various federal agencies.

Payton McNabb, a former high school girls volleyball player who was left with serious brain damage after being hit in the face by a transgender opponent, has been left stunned by an offer from President Donald Trump.
McNabb was 17 when a ball spiked by a trans opponent with force struck her in the face, threw her to the ground and left her unconscious while she played a volleyball match in September 2022.
McNabb was left with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) said in a release that it has identified more than $800 million in savings or “cost avoidance” for fiscal 2025 among information technology, grants, property and payroll.
The SSA stated that it froze hiring and “drastically” cut back on overtime, saving about $550 million.
The government agency that administers the Social Security program said it cut back $150 million from the information technology systems (ITS) budget by canceling “non-essential contracts and identifying reductions in other ITS contracts.”
Acting SSA Commissioner Lee Dudek said Monday evening the agency has “operated on autopilot” for far too long.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to level punishing tariffs on their country.
He cited the Wall Street Journal to criticize Trump, and call his decision 'dumb.'
'Donald, they point out that even though you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do,' he said angrily at a press conference on Tuesday.
Imports from Canada will now be taxed at 25 percent as Trump's tariffs went into effect on Tuesday.

“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive,” Zelensky wrote on X.

During Donald Trump's big speech on Tuesday night, the Democrats proved more than ever that they hate this country and do not wish to see it succeed. They refused to clap for common sense things like lowering taxes and removing dangerous criminals from the streets. Even worse, they failed to applaud for everyone from the mothers of young girls who were brutally murdered to foster dads and foster children. But one of the most disgusting moments of the evening came when they refused to acknowledge a young boy with brain cancer for something that was about as far from partisan as you can get.
President Donald Trump was “actively trying to destroy” the United States because it’s possible he “hates” the country.
When asked how Democrats should react to Trump’s upcoming speech, Carville said, “This man is actively trying to destroy the United States, and I think we ought to treat this moment with real gravitas. I think we’ve got a very good selection in Senator Slotkin to deliver the rebuttal. But my advice is either don’t go or go and sit on your hands and look grim, because the country is in a grim position right now. I hope the Democrats act like that.”

Democrats continue to flounder as President Trump’s Days of Thunder transform the United States of America from the broken Biden years into a secure, prosperous, and responsible nation ready to face the challenges of the 21st century.
Already, the Trump administration has shut down the open border with Mexico, something Biden refused to do. Trump and DOGE has save the American taxpayer billions of dollars lost by previous administrations. Trump continues to eliminate waste and fraud in government. And, this week, President Trump cut funding to the unending War in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to flounder with policies that are insane and unpopular. Their approval rating is at a dismal 36 percent!

If you watched Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening, you know that Democrats behaved like children, and Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was so disruptive that House Speaker Mike Johnson had him forcibly removed from the chamber.
Speaking to reporters after the incident, Green doubled down on his disruptive behavior and, of course, defended his childish actions.
“The president said he had a mandate, and I was making it clear to the president that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid,” Green said. “I have people who are very fearful. These are poor people, and they have only Medicaid in their lives

Some congressional Democrats are planning ways to disrupt President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night Capitol Hill speech with a variety of props and theatrics, Axios reported Tuesday.
While Democrat leadership has suggested that members bring guests who have been affected by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the speech, some of the party’s more aggressive anti-Trump lawmakers are thinking of ways to go above and beyond to demonstrate their distaste for the president, according to Axios. Tactics under consideration include possible walk outs, using “noisemakers,” bringing eggs or empty egg cartons to bring attention to elevated egg prices and carrying pocket-sized copies of the Constitution
Former NBC "Meet the Press" anchor Chuck Todd delivered a brutal opinion about former President Biden, calling him a "craven political animal" who was more concerned about his political career than his own family.
During an appearance Sunday on Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt's "The Warning" podcast, Todd delved into why the Democrats lost the 2024 election and what he perceives as the media's relationship with the second Trump administration.
After decrying older politicians remaining in the leadership of the Democratic Party, Todd returned to Biden's role in the November election loss.
A transgender-identifying male athlete won a 400-meter women’s race in Staten Island, New York, on Saturday after two teenage girls opted out of competing against him.
Camden Schreiner, 21, who uses the name “Sadie,” came in first place in the Women’s 40o-meter dash open at the USA Track and Field Open Masters Championships with a time of 56:74, according to The Blaze. Schreiner won the race after his opponents, Anna Vidolova, 17, and Amaris Hiatt, 16, did not compete.
CNN allowed former television show host Bill Nye to claim that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk wanted to replace the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) weather satellites with Starlink Monday. Roughly 880 staffers at NOAA, including many who were on probationary status, were laid off Thursday, CBS News reported, with some of the laid-off employees holding a protest outside the agency’s headquarters. Nye claimed Musk found a “vulnerable part” in the federal government to seize public assets for himself, but never offered evidence.
