What are President Trump's achievements in his first month?
President Trump's first 30 days in office are marked by the most sweeping actions of any president in modern history.
These executive orders have ended burdensome regulations, sealed the border, eliminated divisive DEI from our federal government, stopped the weaponization of government, cut waste, fraud, and abuse, reinstituted America First trade and foreign policies, and ultimately restored common sense.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, February 21st, and this is Morning One. The Doge whiplash continues for Washington bureaucrats as the new department sets its sights on Social Security.
How is the Social Security Administration being reformed?
They're finding levels of fraud and waste and abuse like I think nobody ever thought possible.
What is the home insurance crisis in California?
And California faces a home insurance crisis after widespread fires. What could the deep blue state learn from Florida?
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned with the news you need to know.

What executive orders has Trump signed regarding immigration?
After one month back in office, Donald Trump continues to sign executive orders, confirm cabinet members, and rewrite public policy at a frenetic pace.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here to recap the action and preview what's coming next. So Cabot, Donald Trump promised to hit the ground running and he's done that in this first 30 days.
Yeah, it's hard to overstate the pace at which he has reshaped the federal government. It's just been unmatched by any of its predecessors in modern history. And no one on either side is really disputing that. In his first 30 days, Trump reversed Biden-era immigration policy, reset foreign relationships with adversaries and allies, and signed more executive orders than any president in the last century signed in their first 100 days. And he also saw his cabinet confirmed at a near record pace. Yesterday, Kash Patel was confirmed as head of the FBI. That gives Trump 19 cabinet confirmations in just 31 days. That's the fastest pace since W's first term in 01. Several top Trump surrogates touted the administration's achievements at a press briefing Thursday. Here's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz praising his Ukraine negotiations.
I find it frankly ridiculous. So many people in Washington that were just demanding, pounding the table for a ceasefire in Gaza are suddenly aghast that the president would demand one and both sides come to the table when it comes to Ukraine, a war that has been arguably far greater in scope and scale and far more dangerous in terms of global escalation.
And here's White House advisor Stephen Miller's defense of Trump's approach to government. It got a lot of play yesterday. Have a listen.
Americans vote for radical FBI reform, and FBI agents say they don't want to change. Or Americans vote for radical reform in our energy policies, but EPA bureaucrats say they don't want to change. Or Americans vote to end DEI, racist DEI policies, and lawyers in the Department of Justice say they don't want to change.
How is Trump tackling illegal immigration and welfare?
What President Trump is doing is he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders which are the will of the whole American people.
And Americans seem optimistic about Trump's early moves. Rasmussen polling found that 47% of the country feels America is on the right track. Now, that might not sound great, but that is a 19% increase from September and the highest number for that question in the last 20 years.
Now, based on polling, what issues are getting those high marks with voters?
