Musk Exposing Waste, RFK Jr. Confirmed, Criminals Deported—and Everything Else We’re Swiping Right For

Virginia Allen | Kristen Eichamer •   February 13, 2025

“There’s no time like the present” is an adage President Donald Trump appears to have taken to heart. Trump has been in office for less than a month and has successfully managed to keep every political journalist in America working overtime. 

Open Google Maps on your phone and zoom out. The Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. Biden administration Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is long gone, replaced by Secretary Kristi Noem, who this week “clawed back” $59 million that the Federal Emergency Management Agency allocated to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in New York City. Meanwhile, Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is pushing for more daily arrests of criminal illegal aliens. 

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is exposing waste in Washington and actively shrinking a federal government that did nothing but balloon for the past four years. So far, all of Trump’s Cabinet picks, including Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—approved by the Senate on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively—have been confirmed, and all have pledged to restore common sense to the American government. 

This Valentine’s week, “Problematic Women” is breaking down the biggest stories we are “swiping right” on. (For all our readers who never had to use a dating app, you are blessed, but “swiping right” refers to letting someone know in a dating app that you are interested in starting a conversation.)

While Democrats might not feel the love in Washington, Americans largely appear pleased with the barrage of action coming out of the Trump administration. 

According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, Trump has a 53% job-approval rating and 70% of Americans say Trump is doing what he promised he would do. 

Catch this week’s edition of “Problematic Women” as we break down what Trump actions we are “swiping right” for. Plus, we share our favorite breakup and love songs, and offer some (hopefully helpful) dating tips.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
