CBS: Vivek Ramaswamy, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with entrepreneur Elon Musk, is expected to soon step away from the task force, CBS News has learned. Ramaswamy intends to announce a campaign for Ohio governor as soon as the end of January, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.
Ramaswamy, 39, had no comment.
People close to Musk have privately undercut Ramaswamy for weeks, frustrated with his lack of participation in the heavy lifting, according to sources familiar with the internal dynamics. There has been friction between the incoming rank and file DOGE staff and Ramaswamy, the sources said, and Ramaswamy has been subtly encouraged to exit.
"Vivek has worn out his welcome," one person close to Trump said.
Ramaswamy recently met with the Ohio's sitting governor, Mike DeWine, about the state's Senate seat left vacant by Vice President-elect JD Vance. But on Friday, DeWine announced he is appointing his lieutenant governor to the post.

So the Biden crime family steals untold millions if not billions and even if they laundered the money they get a free pass. The mafia had more accountability than our government.
The Jan 6th committee destroyed how many lives and they also get a free pass? Fauci as well. How many did he murder?

Mario gets a bit political in this one. It's pretty good, imo. Unless you want to watch him talk and his dog sleep you may be better off listening in one tab, playing around the forum in a different tab. 22 mins long.

Trump was busy last night. He signed a lot of executive orders. He also revoked security clearances from John Bolton and 51 intelligence operatives that signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter.

For Inauguration Day, Open Federal Files and Give Truth a Chance - The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity

??????????????????
Some are ridiculous, such as an order purporting to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” Others are ominous, such as an order seeking to drastically increase the number of federal civil servants who can be fired at will. Many of the orders seek to implement the kind of harsh immigration policies that have always been at the heart of Trump’s political message.
The most alarming of these immigration orders seeks to strip millions of future Americans of their citizenship.
There isn’t even a plausible argument that this order is constitutional. The Constitution is absolutely clear that all people born in the United States and subject to its laws are citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The Supreme Court recognized this principle more than 125 years ago.
