Elon Musk publicised the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers

When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line. Now they have a new fear: becoming the personal targets of the world's richest man – and his legions of followers. Last week, in the midst of the flurry of his daily missives, Musk reposted two X posts that revealed the names and titles of people holding four relatively obscure climate-related government positions.

Properties on offer include dilapidated homes at giveaway prices to ready-to-occupy buildings for up to $105,000.Mandatory Credit: Roberto Tangianu/Sardegna Live via CNN Newsource (CNN) Now, following the November 5 vote outcome, it's launched a website aimed at would-be American expats, offering up more ...

Trump put Musk on phone with Zelenskyy during congratulatory call, official says

President-elect Donald Trump put billionaire Elon Musk on the line with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when the Ukrainian leader called to congratulate the incoming US president, according to a Ukrainian official with direct knowledge of the phone call.

FEMA employee fired after telling relief team to skip houses with Trump signs following Florida hurricane

A Federal Emergency Management Agency employee has been fired after they advised their disaster relief team to avoid homes with signs supporting former President Donald Trump while canvassing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, the agency's administrator said on Saturday. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the actions of the employee "reprehensible" and said they have been terminated from their role.

Campaign signs are seen outside the Palm Beach County Superviso...

A presidential campaign unlike any other ends on Wednesday. Here’s how we got here

It's the election that no one could have foreseen. Not so long ago, Donald Trump was marinating in anger at Mar-a-Lago after being impeached twice and voted out of the White House. Even some of his closest allies were looking forward to a future without the charismatic yet erratic billionaire leading the Republican Party, especially after his failed attempt to overturn an election ended in violence and shame. When Trump announced his comeback bid two years ago, the New York Post buried the article on page 26. At the same time, Kamala Harris was languishing as a low-profile sidekick to US President Joe Biden. Once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, she struggled with both her profile and her portfolio, disappointing her supporters and delighting her critics. No one w...
