1. Trump Fires Biden

President Trump announced Friday that he is “immediately revoking” former President Joe Biden’s security clearances and access to daily intelligence briefings – telling The Post he doesn’t “trust” his predecessor with such sensitive information.

Trump, 78, argued in a Truth Social post that the former president set the precedent when he barred him from receiving access to the same briefings four years ago, citing Trump’s “erratic behavior.”

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote.

2. Trump Fires Kennedy Center Board Members, Appoints Himself Chairman

Immediately Bans Drag Shows Targeting Children

President Trump said Friday he would end the terms of multiple members of the Kennedy Center board and make himself chair of a new board, putting himself at the helm of the Washington, D.C., cultural institution.

“I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” the president said on Truth Social.

He said his moves are part of an effort to make the Kennedy Center, named for former President John F. Kennedy and located in northwest Washington along the Potomac River, “great again.”

3. Trump Wants a Cut of Ukraine's Minerals 

Zelensky: 'Let’s Make a Deal'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pored over a once-classified map of vast deposits of rare earths and other critical minerals during an interview with Reuters on Friday, part of a push to appeal to Donald Trump’s penchant for a deal.

The U.S. president, whose administration is pressing for a rapid end to Ukraine’s war with Russia, said on Monday he wanted Ukraine to supply the U.S. with rare earths and other minerals in return for financially supporting its war effort.

“If we are talking about a deal, then let’s do a deal, we are only for it,” Zelensky said, emphasising Ukraine’s need for security guarantees from its allies as part of any settlement.

4. ’Big Balls’ Is Back 

Musk to Rehire DOGE Staffer Who Resigned

“I’m with the vice president,” President Donald Trump said Friday in reference to Vice President JD Vance’s statement that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should rehire a former staffer.

The former DOGE staffer was let go this week after woke Wall Street Journal reporter Katherine Long, who previously worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), wrote a hit piece this week on the 25-year-old staffer, appearing to cause the person to resign. Long’s report framed the former DOGE staffer as a racist.

“I don’t know about the particular thing, but if the Vice President said that, did you say that? [then] I’m with the vice president,” Trump said at a press conference with the vice president seated in front of him:

5. Judge Blocks Trump’s USAID Purge

A federal judge said he will issue a temporary injunction halting mandatory administrative leave for 2,200 employees of the U.S. Agency for International Aid (USAID).

Judge Carl Nichols ordered that the USAID employees not be placed on leave at 11:59 p.m. Friday while legal challenges are pending.

The order will also halt the requirement that international employees return to the United States.

6. WATCH: Dem Reps Attempt to Enter Dep of Education, Security Blocks Them

Democratic members of Congress were denied entry into the Department of Education in Washington, DC on Friday as a security guard told them that they could not enter, leading the lawmakers to berate the guard when they could not enter.

Video posted to social media on Friday showed the representatives berating the security guard at the door of the Department of Education.

The situation comes as the Trump administration has been drafting an executive order to shut down the agency.

7. ‘Back to Plastic!’: Trump to End Ban on Plastic Straws

President Donald Trump is planning to end bans and restrictions on plastic straws, according to his recent post on Truth Social.

“I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work,” Trump posted Friday. “BACK TO PLASTIC!”

If signed, the executive order would affect laws in several Democratic-run states that currently have bans or restrictions on single-use plastic straws, such as California, Colorado, New York, Maine, Oregon, Vermont, Rhode Island and Washington.

8. Update: Missing Alaska Plane Found, All 10 Aboard Dead

The wreckage of the small plane that went missing flying over Alaska was found Friday on sea ice — with all 10 on board dead, authorities said.

Coast Guard spokesperson Mike Salerno said rescue crews located the plane by helicopter while scouring over the aircraft’s last known location and lowered two rescue swimmers to investigate.

The two swimmers identified three bodies inside the plane, while seven others are believed to be inside the wreckage but were inaccessible due to the condition of the aircraft, the US Coast Guard Alaska said in a statement on X.
