Pete HegsethPete Hegseth eked out a victory Friday when Vice President JD Vance cast a tie-breaking vote to deliver him enough votes in the Senate to become the next secretary of defense.

Why It Matters

This is only the second time in modern history that the vice president has had to break a tie vote for a Cabinet pick.

Hegseth was widely considered the most controversial Cabinet nominee and was dogged by allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse ahead of his confirmation vote.

Newsweek reached out to Hegseth's lawyer for comment via email on Friday.

Trump orders release of secret JFK, RFK and MLK assassination documents

TrumpThe order requires the director of national intelligence and attorney general to work with White House officials on a plan to release the John F. Kennedy records and present it to Trump within 15 days. A plan for releasing the other records must be presented to Trump within 45 days.

Trump's order lays out the saga over releasing John F. Kennedy's record. A law passed in 1992 required the records to be fully released by Oct. 26, 2017 unless the president at the time determines their release would cause "identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations... of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure."

Trump was president when the 2017 deadline arrived. He ordered the release of nearly 2,900 records, but kept others secret because of concerns by the CIA and FBI that their release could hurt national security.

Judges Handling Jan. 6 Insurrection Cases Lash Out Against Trump’s Pardons

Jan6 judges speak outFederal judges presiding over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection cases, including the one who had overseen charges against President Donald Trump himself, are excoriating his blanket pardons for all the people charged, particularly those previously convicted of violent attacks on police officers.

“No ‘national injustice’ occurred here, just as no outcome-determinative election fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election,” wrote U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell on Wednesday in the case of two men, one of whom was the founder of the Hawaii chapter of the militant group Proud Boys.

“No ‘process of national reconciliation’ can begin when poor losers, whose preferred candidate loses an election, are glorified for disrupting a constitutionally mandated proceeding in Congress and doing so with impunity,” Howell wrote, as she dismissed charges that included assaulting a police officer.

Trump Revokes Workplace Discrimination Rules Enacted By LBJ In 1965

LBJ anti discrimination  law revoked by TrumpOn Wednesday, President Donald Trump revoked a six-decade-old executive order designed to combat workplace discrimination by federal contractors, undoing a landmark labor standard that stretches back to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

It granted the Labor Department the power to enforce its provisions through a contracting standards office.

Pro-Trump Police Union Says Jan. 6 Pardons Send 'A Dangerous Message'

Fraternal Order of Police

A police union that endorsed Donald Trump during the 2024 election campaign has condemned the now-president over his sweeping pardon of Jan. 6, 2021, rioters.

In a joint statement with the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) on Tuesday said it was “deeply discouraged” by recent pardons and commutations given by Trump and former President Joe Biden to those who have been convicted of killing or assaulting police.

On Monday, Trump offered clemency to the roughly 1,500 people charged in relation to the Capitol riot. Some of those given pardons had been handed multi-year sentences for assaulting police officers or other more serious crimes.

Dozens of officers were injured during the attack. Five officers died afterward, one from a stroke and four by suicide.

Trump fires Mark Milley and José Andrés amid plans for mass purge of Biden administration

Gen. Mark Milley fired

Donald Trump fired Mark Milley from his role on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council on Tuesday. Milley is a retired army general who served as the most senior uniformed officer at the Pentagon as chair of the joint chiefs of staff under Trump and Joe Biden.

Trump announced the firing in a social media post, after Milley sharply turned against him in the years between his presidencies, ultimately branding him “a total fascist”.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that his administration was also “actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand presidential appointees from the previous administration”, in a mass purge in his first 24 hours in office.

TVNL Comment:  Thank you for your service, General Milley.  We wish you well.

'Not Too Exciting': Trump Gripes About Prayer Service After Pastor Calls Him Out In Sermon

Trump told to be nicerPresident Donald Trump began Day 2 of his presidency on Tuesday with a prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral. He didn’t seem particularly impressed with it.

A pool reporter asked him how it went when he returned to the White House.

“Not too exciting, was it,” Trump responded on his way to the Oval Office. “I did think it was a good service. They could do much better.” (The pool reporter later noted it was unclear whether the president said he “did think it was a good service” or “didn’t,” as he was a bit far away.)

Spokespeople for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to why Trump was so grumpy after the service.

The theme of the sermon was largely about unity, and it included readings from the Torah, the Quran and the Bible.

TVNL Comment: The Pastor said it as it had to be said.  That doesn't go well with a man who thinks hes God.
