NEWS: The Library has acquired one of the earliest known drawings of Yosemite Valley, from 1855, by artist Thomas Almond Ayres. Ayres’ sketches were the source for the first published image of Yosemite at a time when drawings shaped how people saw the American West. newsroom.loc.gov/news/librar…

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history. This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time. For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota. Download the data yourself: opendata.hhs.gov

Attention U.S. citizens! Starting October 12, the European Union is rolling out a new automated Entry/Exit System (EES).

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Donald Trump Truth Social 04/09/25 01:19 PM

From Acting Director William W. Lothrop: On January 20, 2025, Director Peters separated from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and I will be serving as the Acting Director. With over 30 years of experience in the Bureau, I’ve had the privilege of working shoulder-to-shoulder with many of you, dedicating my career to ensuring the safety and security of our employees and inmates. As we face ongoing challenges, including staffing shortages and operational issues, I am committed to working alongside you to find real solutions that strengthen our facilities. We will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners and stakeholders to maintain robust programming and support services for inmates. Our mission remains clear: to provide a safe, secure and humane environment, ensure public safety, and prepare those in our custody for successful reentry into society. bit.ly/4hHxZsv

Highlights: 1. As of April 2024, Congress has appropriated more than $174 billion to assist Ukraine. 2. DOD doesn't have clear guidance for tracking equipment deliveries, and its delivery data may not be accurate. 3. The State Department doesn't have a systematic, comprehensive approach to specifically track funding that federal agencies have provided for economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. 4. DOD has not established performance goals and measures to determine if the resources are being used effectively. 5. USAID does not comprehensively assess and document relevant fraud risks, including for Ukraine. 6. State and USAID had 111 implementing partners carrying out humanitarian and development assistance in Ukraine, as of September 30, 2023.
U.S. assistance to #Ukraine has been critical to combating both the Russian invasion & resulting humanitarian crisis. But while assistance is important, so is its oversight. Today’s WatchBlog post looks at our work so far on Ukraine assistance oversight: gao.gov/blog/ukraine-aid-imp…

The chart is backward on the x-axis, giving the false implication that deficits are decreasing over time.
The federal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion in the first 10 months of fiscal year 2024, CBO estimates—$103 billion less than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year. cbo.gov/publication/60479

In CBO’s projections, the U.S. population increases from 342 million people in 2024 to 383 million people in 2054, and the average age rises. Net immigration increasingly drives population growth, accounting for all population growth beginning in 2040. cbo.gov/publication/59697
