Billionaire, tech mogul, and Trump administration Special Employee Elon Musk is still taking names in Washington, showing scammers what happens when they steal from the government.
In the most recent display of power from the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk announced that his office discovered a scammer who stole from hundreds of thousands of Americans, as Fox News reported.
According to the head of DOGE, the scammer, who stole from 400,000 Americans' Social Security funds, will be arrested sometime soon.
"I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow because there's someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database," Musk said during his comments from Wisconsin on Monday evening.
This week, the state of Wisconsin is engaged in its hotly contested state Supreme Court election to decide if the state's highest court will become majority liberal or conservative.
A Wisconsin voter asked Musk if Attorney General Pam Bondi would investigate and prosecute Social Security fraud.
Musk leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he is tasked with exposing government overspending and fraud.
Last month he uncovered a "massive amount of fraud" allegedly committed by scammers who were using fake Social Security numbers to avail themselves of taxpayer dollars.
"I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow, because there's someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database," Musk said during a tele-town hall with Wisconsin voters Monday evening.
The individual in question was reportedly "selling Social Security numbers and all the identification information in order for people to basically steal money from Social Security," he continued.
"A particular avenue of fraud for like illegal immigrants and for voter fraud, because the main way that identification is established in the United States is via Social Security," he said.
"So, if you compromise a Social Security system, you can basically get people to get de facto registered to vote, even if they're not citizens, and to get a bunch of benefits."
Near the end of last month Musk and other DOGE team members spoke to reporters at Fox News to talk about their operations and what they've found parsing through federal spending.
"They steal people's Social Security, is what happens," Musk said during a Thursday interview on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
"They call in, they claim to be a retiree, and they convince the Social Security person on the phone to change where the money is flowing. It actually goes to some fraudster. This is happening all day, every day. And then somebody doesn't receive their Social Security, it's because of all the fraud loopholes in the Social Security system."
More alleged Tren de Aragua prisoners were sent to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) Sunday night, but a court order preventing President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to do so was not violated in doing so.
A group of 17 suspected gang members was sent from Guantanamo Bay to the El Salvador supermax, and six other alleged gang members were also transferred.
Many of the detainees had already been convicted of rape or murder, while others were yet to go to trial.
Trump used Title 8 to send the prisoners out of the country, rather than using the Alien Enemies Act, which has been blocked by a federal judge for the time being.
"In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations," Rubio said on X. "These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens."
Keivis Jesus Arrecheder Vasquez, a Venezuelan national and an alleged leader of Tren de Aragua, was among the transferred prisoners, according to White House senior officials.
All of the prisoners were citizens of either El Salvador or Venezuela.
Trump took to Truth Social to thank El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele for "taking the criminals that were so stupidly allowed, by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, to enter our Country, and giving them such a wonderful place to live."
The prison was opened by Bukele in 2023 in an effort to crack down on street gangs there.
It can hold up to 40,000 prisoners, but so far under 300 have been sent there from the U.S.
The prisoners there never get to go outdoors and the Associated Press said there aren't enough bunks for all of them.
There have been allegations of human rights abuses there, and the AP reported that 261 men have died in the prison since it opened.
Still, Trump is sending a message about what will happen to illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes in America.
"Every day, America becomes safer, thanks to the leadership of President Trump," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to reporters. "If you’re an illegal terrorist or criminal – the Trump administration is coming for you."
An actress who once played a police officer on TV is now a suspect in a real-life case.
The one-time star of 1990s and early 2000s TV show "NYPD Blue" Kim Delaney was arrested on Saturday for charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon after a dispute with husband James Morgan turned physical.
Police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at Delaney's residence on Saturday morning and arrested both partners after investigating. Morgan was charged with battery in the incident.
According to TMZ, paramedics also responded to check whether injuries had resulted, but both were medically cleared at the scene.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Delaney is still in custody, while Morgan posted $20,000 bail on Saturday.
Besides "NYPD Blue," Delaney also appeared in "CSI Miami," "Philly," "Army Wives," "The OC," and the soap opera, "All My Children."
For her portrayal of Detective Diane Russell in "NYPD Blue," she was awarded a 1997 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
It isn't her first time on the other side of the thin blue line; she was arrested in 2002 in Malibu for drunk driving and spent time in rehab for alcohol abuse the next year.
In 2024, a motorcyclist sued Delaney for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in L.A.
Morgan and Delaney celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October.
At the time, Delaney captioned a photo of Morgan hugging her, “A beautiful 2nd wedding anniversary!!! 10/11. And now anniversary weekend! Great memories! I love you, hubby-your wife for life.”
Just two weeks ago, Delaney posted a cozy social media photo of the two cuddled up together with the caption: "Pure love."
While it's possible that this is the first time the couple's interactions have turned physical, that's not usually the case by the time law enforcement gets involved.
It wasn't clear whether Delaney was defending herself against Morgan or whether she was the aggressor. She is likely still detained because of her prior criminal history and the seriousness of the charge against her.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being criticized for bringing his wife to two meetings with foreign military officials.
Hegseth's wife, Jennifer Hegseth, was seen in photos during his March 6 meeting with his U.K. defense counterpart. This started a fury among left-wing media, which began complaining about Hegseth's wife attending the meeting.
Hegseth, as Defense Secretary, is allowed to invite whomever he wants to his meetings. It's typical for meeting attendees to be a "need to know" status, but that is a decision that is ultimately up to the Defense Secretary.
That hasn't stopped the mainstream media from attempting to generate yet another hoax of a story about security protocols.
Just last week, leftist outlet The Atlantic attempted to push a story that U.S. war plans were leaked in a Signal chat. Turns out the chat, involving Hegseth and other key Trump administration members, contained no detailed information, and The Atlantic was forced to correct the story.
The mainstream media has been gunning for Hegseth ever since President Donald Trump announced his nomination as Defense Secretary.
First, there was a false accusation of sexual assault that the mainstream media didn't bother to fact-check. After accusing Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017, it emerged that Hegseth was the real victim who had been assaulted.
When that story failed to stop Hegseth's confirmation, the mainstream leftist media began pushing unfounded stories that Hegseth was an abusive alcoholic who was a danger to his family. Now, the mainstream media is complaining about Hegseth's wife being at meetings with foreign dignitaries.
It didn't take long for former Obama official Chuck Hagel to complain about Jennifer Hegseth's presence at meetings by saying, "When you have meetings with ministers or high-level NATO officials, those meetings almost always include sensitive security conversations. If you are going to discuss top secret, national security issues, you have to be very selective. What’s the relevancy of the person you are inviting?"
Of course, there was no evidence that sensitive material was discussed, and there is nothing indicating that Hegseth was breaking security protocols by having his wife in attendance.
Like the other stories targeting Hegseth and other Trump officials, there is no substantive issue outside of wild speculation by leftist partisans and establishment figures.
The Trump administration is extremely popular with the American people thanks to aggressive foreign policy and thorough domestic policies.
This has forced a desperate mainstream media to grasp at straws to attack the Trump administration. From the Signal story to this latest story about Hegseth's wife, the desperation of the mainstream media is apparent.
This will only get worse in the coming months as the Trump administration continues to succeed, especially on contentious foreign policy issues.
A Las Vegas man has been charged for using a Molotov cocktail to torch several Teslas at a local Tesla Collision Center last week.
36-year-old Paul Hyon Kim was arrested last Wednesday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department after he used a Molotov cocktail to set five Tesla cars on fire at the dealership in what is being described as a politically motivated attack.
Kim has been hit with charges for crimes ranging from destruction of property, arson, and possessing a fire device, according to records from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
However, those charges are the least of Kim's worries as the Department of Justice is getting involved and Kim will also be facing federal charges.
Spencer Evans, the FBI agent-in-charge of the bureau's Las Vegas office, told reporters on Thursday that Kim's act of political violence, or terrorism, will land him a lengthy prison sentence.
In an address to the media, Evans stated, "There's nothing courageous or noble about firebombing private property and terrorizing your local community. The self-righteous mob that's cheering you on today to commit acts of violence on their behalf will leave you high and dry and forget about you tomorrow. And at the end of the day, you and you alone will be held responsible and face the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence."
Kim attempted to hide his identity when he attacked the Tesla dealership by concealing his face and wearing gloves and black clothing. He also damaged surveillance cameras with a rifle to further protect his identity, an effort that failed.
Five vehicles were destroyed in the attack, with another unlit Molotov cocktail found in another vehicle by police.
To confirm that this act of violence was political in nature, Kim spraypainted the leftist slogan "Resist" on the front doors of the dealership.
Police also confirmed that Kim has links to communist groups and Palestinian activist organizations, making it clear that this act of violence was political in nature, meaning Kim could face charges of domestic terrorism.
Terrorism is often defined as the use of violence and intimidation, often targeting innocent civilians, in order to achieve political aims. This factor is why the FBI is involved and why Kim could be going to prison for a very long time.
After discovering Kim's DNA at the scene, police searched his apartment and two vehicles, where they found multiple firearms, including rifles, a shotgun, a handgun, and gun parts, as well as ammunition.
The Trump administration is pursuing charges against multiple individuals for attacking Tesla cars and dealerships around the nation, and many charges carry a minimum penalty of five years and up to 20 years in prison for a range of violent acts.
Should terrorism be added onto these charges, that eliminates the possibility of parole or any early release for these offenders.
Considering the damage done by Kim and the overtly political nature of his attack, it is highly likely that he will be spending the next couple of decades locked up in a federal prison.
The Trump administration said Thursday that it had revoked the visas of at least 300 foreign students protesting and agitating on college campuses and that they are "looking every day" for foreign students who have aligned themselves with terrorist groups like Hamas.
“We do it every day,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters during a press conference in Guyana. “Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa.”
“Maybe more, it might be more than 300 at this point,” Rubio said.
Rubio stated three weeks ago on X that the administration has a "zero tolerance" policy for student protesters who express sympathy or solidarity with Hamas terrorists.
“Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. Violators of U.S. law — including international students — face visa denial or revocation, and deportation,” he wrote.
The State Department named the policy "Catch and Revoke," and it uses AI tools and other resources to pull data from visa holders' social media accounts and see who is supporting Hamas and other group like them.
“At some point, I hope we run out because we’ve gotten rid of all of them,” Rubio said. “But, we’re looking every day for these lunatics.”
Citing common sense, Rubio said it would be "stupid" to allow students to stay in the country to cause trouble and turmoil here.
It would be “stupid for any country in the world to welcome people into their country that are going to go to their universities … to start a riot … take over a library and harass people,” he said.
“I don’t care what movement you’re involved in,” he continued. “Why would any country in the world allow people to come and disrupt? We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses.”
“If you come into the United States as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don’t want it,” Rubio added. “We don’t want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country. But you’re not going to do it in our country.”
Just over 400,000 student visas were given out by the U.S. government in 2024 so that mostly college-age individuals could study at U.S. higher learning institutions.
While most student visas are accepted if students can show they have enough money to complete a degree in the U.S., they also have to agree to follow our laws while they are here.
Getting arrested at a protest has given the government just what it needs to send them back, which Rubio and President Donald Trumo are hoping will take the wind out of campus protest sails and calm things down.
While families like the Clintons, Bidens, and Obamas seem to have a lot in common, former first lady Michelle Obama will not follow in her husband's footsteps and try to run for the presidency.
Another former first lady, Hillary Clinton, who, like Obama, holds a law degree in her own right, famously pursued that endeavor to disastrous ends in 2016 when she squared off against President Donald Trump before his first term in office.
Because Obama was so well-liked within her husband's party, many campaign strategists have been aware that she could usher in a third Obama administration if she ran for president.
However, Obama said in a recent interview that a presidential run is "never gonna happen" and insisted she just doesn't want to move back to the White House.
“When people ask me would I ever run, the answer is no,” Obama told Kylie Kelce, wife of retired NFL star Jason Kelce, on a recent episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast.
“If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”
“Not only am I not interested in politics in that way, but the thought of, like, putting my girls back into that, you know, spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves. It’s like, you know, okay. I think we’ve done enough.”
Michelle Obama says she has zero intention of ever running for president, says she has already done enough.
The comment came on Kylie Kelce's podcast.
"And so when people ask me would I ever run, the answer is no."

The daughters of former president Barack Obama, Sasha and Malia, grew up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and were seven and ten years old, respectively, when they moved into the White House.
“The day-to-day kind of challenges that any parent has with teenagers, we had it on 100,” the former first lady said.
“I longed for the days when, you know, just write on the wall. …We can wash that off.”
“I was so glad when we got out of the White House,” she added. “I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them. I mean, they still are dealing with paparazzi and being who they are and trying to carve out their own identity.”
Even though Kelce's podcast featuring the ex-first lady had over 277,000 listeners, many wondered if Obama would really not run for the office that her husband had held.
“She has zero intention but at any time it can become ‘I’m saving democracy this isn’t my choice’ lmao,” one user posted to X.
“Retirement’s overrated – bet she’ll change her mind!” another listener commented.
“[This] sounds like ‘let’s make it more dramatic when I finally say yes’; good plan,” according to one post.
The Washington, D.C., shakeup continues as the Trump administration continues to attempt to cut the fat, and do away with waste, thereby sometimes shocking the Democrats' sensibilities.
This appears to be the case after news broke that the Secretary of Homeland Security let slip that another beloved federal agency is on the chopping block, and by now, everyone knows the administration is serious, as The Hill reported.
In this case, it's not USAID or the Department of Education (though those cuts did run deep) but the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) whose days are numbered.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said in a meeting with cabinet members earlier this week that she plans to "eliminate" FEMA, sending shockwaves through Washington.
For context, while FEMA has been a lifesaver to many (literally and figuratively), in recent years, it's also become a money pit without accountability or efficiency and is believed to be rife with corruption and theft.
While providing a status report on border security, Noem also stated, "We're going to eliminate FEMA." She, however, did not provide further details.
“That’s great. Great job,” President Trump said — appearing to respond to her broader status update.
Trump has voiced his strong disapproval of the emergency management agency and has even hinted at the possibility of eliminating it.
“I’ll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA, or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, FEMA’s not good,” Trump said in January.
Instead of dismantling the agency, a recent executive order from the White House requested a review of disaster response policies.
That executive action called on the Homeland Security secretary to propose changes to ensure “state and local governments and individuals have improved communications with Federal officials and a better understanding of the Federal role.”
FEMA is responsible for the coordination of disaster response in the immediate aftermath of hurricanes and also assists with the long-term recovery process.
Democrats responded to Noem's statement, looking for all the world like narcissists about to lose their supply, asserting that eliminating FEMA would constitute desertion for communities in need.
“The Trump Administration’s grand plan for victims of natural disasters is to abandon them—and it’s a complete non-starter,” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) said in a written statement.
“This rash decision will harm ongoing disaster recovery efforts, and make it impossible to respond after the next natural disaster,” he added.
The Trump administration is warning Egypt that if it doesn't agree to take 700,000 Gazan refugees, it could lose billions in aid when the U.S. offers the same deal to other nations.
U.A.E. President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo over the weekend to convey the offer from the U.S., according to a UK and Qatari media source.
Egypt's struggling economy could benefit from the sizeable aid package, but if it waits much longer to accept the deal, the U.S. will offer it elsewhere, a source close to the discussion said.
Cairo could also lose existing aid from the U.S. of $1.3 to $1.5 billion if it refuses. So far, Cairo has resisted the idea.
Trump said last month that he wants to resettle Gaza's entire population and turn it into an economic hub for the Middle East, with the U.S. in charge of the territory.
If he's able to do so, it will be a major transformation of the entire region and an entirely new Middle East strategy.
The area is still a battleground as Israel tries to eradicate Hamas terrorists using it for a base. Many civilians have been killed by Israeli forces because Hamas has used them as human shields and hidden war resources in civilian locations like schools and hospitals.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced a voluntary resettlement program in Gaza, headed by a new department and in alignment with Trump's stated goals.
“I welcome President Trump’s bold initiative, which can create extensive opportunities for those in Gaza who wish to leave, assist them in resettling in host countries, and support long-term reconstruction efforts in a demilitarized, threat-free Gaza after Hamas—an effort that will take many years," Katz stated in a post on X.
Katz further said he expects the governments of Spain, Ireland, Norway, and others who have criticized Israel for attacking civilian areas to take in the refugees or be accused of hypocrisy, and said that Canada was already forming a resettlement plan.
Polling has indicated that a majority of Gazans, 52%, would leave if they could. Of those, 14% said they would leave permanently and 38% said they would temporarily relocate.

Relocating the citizenry of Gaza would solve several problems for Israel; reducing civilian casualties, making it easier to find and eliminate Hamas terrorists, and depriving the terrorists of resources it is currently taking from Gazan civilians.
A ceasefire ended before the deadline earlier this month when Hamas failed to release hostages as agreed.
A mass shooting on Friday night at an unauthorized car show at Young Park in Las Cruces, New Mexico left a total of 18 people shot and three teen boys dead, Breitbart News reported.
According to police, two groups "with a history of problems with each other” showed up to the car show and an argument ensued between them.
The argument escalated to a shooting around 10 p.m, and police said they collected 50 to 60 shell casings at the scene after the shooting occurred.
“Today, we mourn a tragic, a senseless, a horrible event that happened in our city,” Las Cruces Mayor Eric Enriquez said on Saturday.
Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story said that because of staffing issues, no police officers patrolled the park during the show, which had about 200 people attending.
“That area’s been trouble with crime more so in recent years,” Chief Story said. “They’ve kind of ebbed and flowed, partly with weather and other things. They’ve become an issue and dealt with, done some projects, they become less of an issue and then they pop back up again. Definitely a problem.”
Story said the gathering itself wasn't the problem, just the illegal activities and the presence of numerous firearms that can occur.
“If they were just gathering and nothing was occurring that was illegal, I have no problem with that. The problem is, what tends to occur is a lot of illegal behavior with the vehicles and then also, in this case, there were firearms throughout this entire event. Some that were used in the shooting and just people with firearms willie-nilly,” said Chief Story.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said of the shooting, “These tragedies have to end. The amount of guns that find their ways into public parks and schools and churches and grocery stores and parties and cars must end.”
As a Democrat, Grisham probably thinks taking everyone's guns away is the answer.
New Mexico is an open carry state, but a license is needed for concealed carry.
It is a "must-issue" state, which means that if the individual meets the qualifications for concealed carry, they must be issued a license.
Still, it's important to realize that incidents like this are exceedingly rare, which is why the news covers them when they do happen.
