U.S. Agency for International Development employees were notified late Tuesday they would be given 15 minutes to collect their belongings from their offices as the Trump administration forges ahead with gutting the agency, The Hill reports.

President Trump shared what appeared to be an AI-generated video depicting his vision of “the Riviera of the Middle East” if his plan to “take over the Gaza strip” comes to fruition, Axios reports.

The bizarre images in the video include Elon Musk eating what appears to be hummus on the beach, followed later of a shot of him dancing on the beach as U.S. dollars rain down.

And it has a shot of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in swim trunks sipping drinks at a poolside resort.

Washington Post: “Little by little, after an initial phase of stunned confusion, the broader resistance to Trump is beginning to wake up.”

“Elon Musk and his cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service team have been on a mission to trim government largesse. Yet Musk is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ coffers,” the Washington Post reports.

“Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.”

Wall Street Journal: “Trump whispering is a practice that takes many forms—flattery, reverse psychology and pomp—but its ultimate aim is to guide him toward your foreign-policy goals. Politicians who pride themselves on Trump whispering say it starts by understanding his transactional instincts.”

“Framing geopolitical issues in real-estate terms is one technique. So is appealing to Trump’s sense of status among world leaders. During Trump’s first term, Macron invited him to Bastille Day celebrations in 2017, making him the guest of honor at France’s annual military parade. The gesture spawned an initial bromance between the men that was expressed in backslaps, hugs and air kisses. Disagreements over Iran and other issues, however, clouded the relationship later in Trump’s first term.”

“Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said on Tuesday that more than 100 intelligence officers from 15 agencies had been fired for having sexually explicit discussions on a government chat tool,” the New York Times reports.
