Oh, man, John, it's hard to know where to begin. The Senate voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State on Monday. Rubio hit the ground running yesterday, sending out an agency-wide memo making clear his opposition to mass migration, DEI, and censorship.

Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick to lead the Defense Department, and John Ratcliffe, the presumptive CIA director, both had their nominations sail through committee. There are just a handful more hearings scheduled for this week, so Trump could have a mostly full cabinet up and running in the next few days.

And then, of course, there's the flurry of executive orders Trump began signing on Inauguration Day and has kept signing since. He directed the presidential personnel office to fire thousands of Biden appointees who do not support his Make America Great Again agenda.

He signed two complementary executive orders that could really go a long way in reforming the federal workforce. One will purge all DEI initiatives from the federal government, and the other will instruct federal hiring managers to judge applicants based on merit, not race or gender.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt had teased that Trump would make a pretty major infrastructure announcement during the press conference.
