Career bureaucrat and acting SSA commissioner quit after a disagreement with Elon Musk

… Michelle King - a career bureaucrat who has worked for the SSA since 1994 until being named to the top post this year - apparently clashed with Musk over his attempts to access sensitive government records.

 

'What I know is that DOGE wanted access to SSA’s sensitive files — the same way they’re trying to do at Labor and Treasury — and the acting commissioner wouldn’t give it, and she was replaced,' Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, told The Washington Post. …

Trump Fires Biden-Picked Lawyers at Immigration Courts

President Donald Trump’s deputies have fired more than 20 immigration lawyers from the Department of Justice, prompting an uproar in pro-migration media outlets.

 

President Joe Biden’s deputies recently hired the lawyers to act as pro-migration judges in the nation’s immigration courts, whose roughly 700 judges are now under the control of Trump’s justice department, now headed by Pam Bondi.

 

In 2021, Biden fired some of the lawyers Trump had hired for his immigration courts, just as President Barack Obama fired some of the lawyers hired by his predecessor, President George W. Bush.

 

One of the fired Biden-picked lawyers, Kerry Doyle, had worked in Biden’s administration where she directed that officials stop deportation cases against up to 300,000 migrants. “I can’t say I was surprised this happened. I was expecting it,” Doyle wrote on LinkedIn.

 

“This firing was political,” said Doyle, who worked for Biden’s zealously pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, as he welcomed roughly nine million migrants across the southern border.

 

The media’s uproar tends to obscure deeper problems in the courts, noted Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge working for the Center for Immigration Studies. …

South Africa open to nuclear project bids from Russia or Iran

CAPE TOWN, Feb 17 (Reuters) - South Africa could turn to Russia or Iran to expand its civilian nuclear power capacity, a senior government minister said, a stance analysts say could deepen a rift with the United States and further delay the renewal of a strategic energy pact.

South Africa, which operates Africa's only nuclear power plant, Koeberg, plans to add 2,500 megawatts of new capacity to tackle electricity outages that have plagued the economy and to reduce emissions.

"We can't have a contract that says Iran or Russia must not bid, we can't have that condition," Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources Gwede Mantashe, one of the government's leading proponents of expanding nuclear capacity, said.

"If they are the best in terms of the offer on the table, we'll take any (country)," he told Reuters.

The country is under scrutiny from Washington after President Donald Trump issued a far-reaching executive order this month halting aid. Among other criticisms, the order claimed - without providing evidence - that South Africa was "reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements". …

Former RNC Chair and MSNBC employee Has Total On-Air Meltdown About Elon Musk and DOGE

Michael Steele was the chairman of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. In the Trump years, he has shown himself to be a complete RINO, an anti-Trump wingnut who feels more at home on the set of MSNBC where he currently serves as a regular contributor.

 

Over the weekend, Steele had an on-air meltdown over Elon Musk and the work he is doing with DOGE.

 

It’s a real mystery why Republicans did so much losing on this guy’s watch. It’s amazing that he was once paid to run the RNC. …
