1A - Donald Trump And Elon Musk Are Targeting USAID

USAID workers worldwide were pulled off the job Tuesday as President Donald Trump's administration posted notices online and sent emails telling employees that the government's spending overseas is now considered a waste and that they have 30 days to return home.

These workers have also been placed on leave effective midnight Friday. The organization's website was recently taken offline. What happens next?

The Daily Signal - Anti-Christian Bias, Jesus at the Super Bowl, NCAA Policy on Women’s Sports | Feb. 6, 2025

On today’s Top News in 10, we cover: 

 

President Donald Trump’s speech to members of Congress and faith leaders at the National Prayer Breakfast. He promised to make America faithful again and signed an executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to create a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.” 

 

Players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles who are speaking openly about their faith. Each team’s star quarterback—Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Jalen Hurts of the Eagles—spoke about the role of Jesus Christ in their own lives during Super Bowl media day. 

 

The NCAA’s decision to comply with Trump’s executive order banning men from women and girls’ sports is already having an impact. The NCAA was ground zero for many of these controversies, sparking outrage from student athletes like swimmer Riley Gaines. 

 

Plus, our quick hits: 

 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers targeted multiple apartment complexes across Aurora, Colorado, but the operation netted only one member of the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang due to a suspected leak. 

 

Democrats successfully delayed FBI director nominee Kash Patel’s confirmation until next week. 

 

The Trump administration ousted members of the board that would hire Kari Lake to head up the Voice of America, potentially easing her appointment to the long-troubled international broadcasting agency. 

 

Federal workers have a few more days to decide if they want to take the Trump administration’s buyout offer thanks to a judge’s ruling Thursday.
