Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

In addition to the four media outlets ordered to vacate their workspace in the building by Valentine's Day, the Pentagon announced four more this evening.

Last Friday, the Pentagon issued a memo signed by DOD spokesman John Ullyot announcing an "annual media rotation program."

Last week’s memo specified The New York Times, NBC News, National Public Radio and Politico would be swapped with the New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost.

In reaction to the memo, leaders from several outlets with reporters who work at the Pentagon came to the building on Wednesday to raise questions and concerns with Ullyot directly.

Ullyot responded to the meeting by doubling down on the initial policy, issuing a new memo ordering four more media outlets to vacate their workspace at the Pentagon, setting a new deadline for all eight to vacate by February 21.

Friday night’s memo said The Washington Post, CNN, The Hill and The War Zone were being swapped with The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, The Free Press and The Daily Caller.

The memo noted that while the outlets' workspaces are being revoked, as is the prerogative of the secretary of defense, the reporters affected will maintain their building access and ability to attend briefings, and will still be considered for trips.

A few facts that caused immediate confusion among the resident press corps was Breitbart and Washington Examiner have had dedicated space for years in the Pentagon.

The War Zone, which is being ordered to vacate its workspace, has never had existing workspace in the Pentagon and Newsmax was already in the process of transitioning into a space offered by the existing press corps before President Donald Trump took office.

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from orchestrating its plan to place 2,200 employees of the United States Agency for International Development on leave at midnight.

In an order late Friday, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols -- a Trump appointee -- issued a temporary restraining that prevents Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency from placing the employees on administrative leave as had been planned.

The judge also ordered the reinstatement of some 500 USAID workers who had already been put on administrative leave and ordered that no USAID employees should be evacuated from their host countries before Feb. 14 at 11:59 p.m.

The judge's order came several hours after a hearing Friday afternoon during which Nichols said he would issue the temporary restraining order.

A federal judge has denied an effort to block the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing data from the Department of Labor.

In his ruling, federal Judge John D. Bates found that the five federal employee unions that alleged Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team sought to illegally access highly sensitive data, including medical records, failed to establish standing.

“Although the Court harbors concerns about defendants’ alleged conduct, it must deny plaintiffs’ motion at this time,” Bates said in his ruling.

During the hearing, the plaintiffs' attorneys argued that if DOGE accessed DOL data, it would cause irreparable harm to their clients.

However, in his ruling, Bates found that the plaintiffs did not show that “at least one particular member is substantially likely to suffer an injury at the hands of the defendant.”

Trump signed an executive order that freezes all aid to South Africa during a closed press event Friday.

The order also states that "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation."

Trump's new executive order references the Expropriation Act that was signed by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Trump has previously threatened to halt funds to South Africa, claiming white South Africans are being mistreated by the nation's post-apartheid government.

DOGE leader Elon Musk has also repeatedly accused his country of birth's government of being anti-white.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused South Africa of "anti-Americanism" and said he wouldn't attend the G20 in South Africa because of it.
