A new House subcommittee will reportedly work with the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help slash government waste. The new Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee will be established by the House Oversight Committee’s chairman, Representative James Comer (R-KY), and chaired by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Fox News reported. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE, which he said will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” giving government an “entrepreneurial approach.” Comer said the new subcommittee “will align with the Trump administration’s priorities to eliminate government waste, streamline the federal government’s operations and cut red tape that’s stifling jobs and increasing costs for the American people.” He added that Trump’s “landslide victory reflects a clear mandate to address inflationary spending that’s driving up the cost of living for hardworking Americans.” “Wasteful government spending must end, and taxpayers deserve to see their money used effectively and efficiently,” Comer said. Comer reportedly met with Ramaswamy and Greene recently to discuss the project. “A key step to driving greater efficiency in government is exposing the problem to the public — we are grateful that the House Oversight Committee has created a subcommittee to focus on this work,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy said. “We look forward to working together.” Greene said the new subcommittee would bring “transparency and truth to the American people through hearings.” “I’m excited to chair this new subcommittee designed to work hand in hand with President Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and the entire DOGE team,” Greene said. “We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “No topic will be off the table,” Greene said, adding that she expects the subcommittee “will expose people who need to be fired.” DOGE will be a commission outside the government that will work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to advise the president on what government bloat can be cut. Musk said he plans to target overregulation and out-of-control spending. “The world is suffering slow strangulation by overregulation. Every year, the noose tightens a little more,” the SpaceX founder and Tesla CEO posted last week. “We’re going to make the spending lower … if we don’t we’re going to bankrupt the country,” Musk said during a town hall in Pennsylvania last month. DOGE will operate on a deadline. Trump said it would finish its work by July 4, 2026, the nation’s 250th birthday,

It’s another battle of the billionaires, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos denying a politically charged allegation shared by tech executive Elon Musk. Overnight, Musk posted to his social media platform, X, about hearing that Bezos had been telling people that President-elect Donald Trump would lose the 2024 election. “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that [Trump] would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,” Musk said. Musk, who endorsed Trump on the campaign trail and is now slated to help lead the president-elect’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), owns Tesla and SpaceX. Bezos shot back in reply on Thursday morning, saying, “Nope. 100% not true.” Nope. 100% not true. — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 21, 2024 The denial was the latest salvo in a longstanding rivalry that ranges from competition between their space companies to Musk dissing Amazon’s “Lord of The Rings” series. And there is the question of who is the wealthiest person in the world. With Tesla shares rising since the election and SpaceX just conducting another successful launch, Musk led the list as of press time with a net worth of $316.1 billion, according to Forbes. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ At $213.3 billion, Bezos ranked third, behind Oracle’s Larry Ellison. Bezos had been the world’s richest person as recently as earlier this year. Bezos made headlines in October when it emerged that he made the decision for the newspaper he owns, The Washington Post, to end its practice of endorsing presidential candidates. “Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, ‘I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.’ None,” he wrote in an op-ed. “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias,” Bezos added. “A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one.” After Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election, Bezos released a statement congratulating the president-elect. “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos said in a post to X. “No nation has bigger opportunities,” he continued. “Wishing [Trump] all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”

More than a dozen Republican senators said that FEMA was falling short of its mission to help all Americans after a government employee ordered relief workers in Florida to skip the homes of people showing support for Donald Trump.  Nineteen Republican senators sent a letter to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell on Tuesday demanding answers on instructions from fired FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington for relief workers in Lake Placid to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” The letter was sent the same day Criswell spent more than five hours testifying to House lawmakers about the guidance, which The Daily Wire first reported.  “For a FEMA employee to withhold aid or support from a household due to political affiliation is unacceptable and frankly reprehensible,” the senators, led by Sen. Thom Tillis and Ted Budd of North Carolina, wrote. “While there are many dedicated public servants who are working around the clock to help disaster survivors at their most vulnerable point, it is clear that FEMA has fallen well short of its core mission to provide disaster relief to all Americans impacted by a natural disaster.” Others who signed on included Mike Braun (IN), Roger Marshall (KS), John Cornyn (TX), Joni K. Ernst (IA), John Kennedy (LA), Bill Hagerty (TN), James Risch (ID), James Lankford (OK), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Dan Sullivan (AK), Bill Cassidy (LA), Pete Ricketts (NE), Tim Scott (SC), Rick Scott (FL), John Boozman (AR), Susan Collins (AK), John Hoeven (ND). The senators asked Criswell to provide all communications between Washington and her Disaster Survivor Assistance team related to the guidance. Whistleblowers told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes were skipped because of the instructions. FEMA workers have since visited those homes and been given the opportunity to register for assistance, Criswell testified Tuesday.  Criswell was asked to respond to claims made by Washington that FEMA has a widespread policy of avoiding “politically hostile” homes.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “The idea that citizens, whose tax dollars fund FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) and pay FEMA officials’ salaries, may be purposely excluded from vitally needed aid is chilling and further erodes many people’s already tenuous trust in this administration,” the letter said.  They asked her to provide the total number of houses FEMA has skipped across all declared disaster zones and the listed reason for bypassing the homes.  Sens. Katie Britt (AL), Josh Hawley (MO), Rand Paul (KY), Chuck Grassley (IA), and Marsha Blackburn (TN) have individually sent letters over the guidance and demanding compliance with the investigations that have been launched.  Criswell testified Tuesday that she doesn’t believe a culture of avoidance exists within the agency and that there was no policy in place that would lead relief workers to proactively skip homes. She said the Inspector General would launch an independent investigation into the guidance, including whether there had been avoidance in North and South Carolina. 

The hosts of ABC’s “The View” had to deliver another on-air legal note during Thursday’s broadcast after they bashed President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks so far by suggesting that a history of sexual assault allegations was a prerequisite for a post in the incoming administration. The co-hosts took aim specifically at former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) — who ultimately withdrew his name from consideration for Attorney General a short time after the show aired — and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, but had to clarify afterward that although both have been investigated, both have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and neither has ever been charged. “Sexual misconduct allegations seem not to matter anymore,” Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation, adding, “Seems like unless you have a sexual misconduct allegation, you can’t be in the cabinet. That’s what it’s looking like, because I mean, was it 11 people and maybe one of the 11 doesn’t have something going on?” “It’s like, oh, let’s see, who’s accused of sexual assault? Put them in the cabinet!” co-host Joy Behar quipped, adding, “And they’re like, ‘Pick me! Pick me!'” WATCH: Sara Haines claims Trump’s national agenda is for going easy on sexual assault and sex offenders: “I would encourage them to separate sexual assault and sexual offenders from their MAGA agenda or you’re telling me this is part of your agenda.” pic.twitter.com/eNYolcSpwB — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 21, 2024 Co-host Sara Haines argued that keeping people who had faced such accusations in his orbit would result in an agenda that included “going easy” on people accused of sexual misconduct. “I would encourage them to separate sexual assault and sexual offenders from their MAGA agenda or you’re telling me this is part of your agenda,” she said. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin then pivoted to complain about the fact that, after multiple background checks turned up nothing and the complaining witness failed to offer any credible evidence, the FBI had stopped investigating the accusations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. WATCH: Dressed in an oversized sparkly silver suit, Sunny Hostin was forced to read ANOTHER legal note about the allegations against Matt Gaetz and a second legal note about Pete Hegseth. “Just call the show ‘Legal Note’ from now on,” Joy Behar huffed. pic.twitter.com/GyP2QesXMw — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 21, 2024 That’s when Hostin was forced to go live with another legal note, reading in monotone statements from Gaetz and attorneys for Hegseth, stating that both had denied wrongdoing and had never been charged. “Just call the show ‘Legal Note,'” from now on, Behar joked as they ended the segment.

Me and my kitty, Makoa, having been testing this CBD for the last three weeks and we’ve already seen some impressive results.

My one-year-old cat, Makoa, is no stranger to CBD oil. He has helped me test numerous CBD products over his short life. We’ve found plenty that helped calm him down and some good options for supporting his immune system. I was excited to test this product from Honest Paws because, not only is it made just for cats, but it is marketed to support overall kitty health. Makoa suffered from numerous respiratory infections when he was a kitten, leaving him with a goofy eye and a propensity for repeat infections. I was hopeful that the Well CBD Oil Tincture for Cats could help strengthen his immune system while reducing inflammation to keep these repeat episodes at bay. For the last three weeks, I have been adding this tincture to his breakfast each day. In that time, I’ve noted many things I like about this product as well as a few downsides. What I Like As I researched this oil, I found a number of things to love about it. For one, it is USDA-certified organic. The hemp they use comes from organic hemp farms in the USA, which means you don’t have to worry about exposing your cat to pesticides or other chemical impurities. Another thing I like about Honest Paws is that they use full-spectrum hemp oil in their tinctures. Unlike CBD isolate, these oils have a host of helpful compounds that enhance the effects of CBD, including minor cannabinoids. Of course, full-spectrum products also contain THC, which can be problematic for pets. Luckily, Honest Paws ensures all of their oils fall under the 0.3% max THC content that vets recommend. In fact, third-party lab tests have confirmed that their cat oil only contains about 0.011% THC. All the great compounds in this product are protected by MCT oil. MCT is a great carrier oil option for cats because it is easy to digest and highly palatable thanks to its neutral flavor. Given the pure, quality ingredients used in this product, I felt safe giving it to Makoa every day. He happily eats it up along with his breakfast each morning. Given the large dose recommended and the lack of added flavors, I didn’t even attempt to put this on a treat or give it to him directly. I first noticed results about two weeks in. The discharge from his eyes seemed to decrease and has continued to improve over the last week. His temperament has also changed, with more cuddling sessions and fewer issues with sudden aggression, which he is prone to. These benefits came without any drawbacks. The oil hasn’t caused any noticeable side effects and, despite his sensitive tummy, he hasn’t had any diarrhea or other digestive issues from the added oil.   Where I See Room for Improvement There is plenty to like about this product, but I also encountered a few drawbacks. First, the concentration of CBD is fairly low. There is only 4.2 mg of CBD per dropper. This means that, to get a therapeutic dose for a 10-pound cat, you would need to give more than one dropper full. Since cats can be finicky about eating oily things, this could cause some issues. Even at the recommended dose of one dropper, you’re still adding a decent amount of oil to your cat’s diet. My cat had no problem eating it all when I mixed it with his food, but there is no way I could have dripped that much onto a treat if I needed something more enticing. One minor complaint I have is that the pipet for this product is made of plastic. This isn’t horribly problematic, but oils like hemp can break down plastic over time. And, given the price point on this product and the quality of it, I would have  it to have a glass dropper. That said, plastic droppers are a safer option if you plan to squeeze the oil straight into your cat’s mouth. I would also point out that the low concentration of this product does make it an easier option to dose smaller cats and those who only require a minimal amount of CBD. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with this product and the results I’ve seen so far. I think it’s an especially great option for owners looking to give a low daily dose of CBD to support their cat’s overall health. Pros & Cons Pros USDA certified organic US grown hemp Full-spectrum with minor cannabinoids Made for cats Neutral flavor Cons Low concentration Plastic dropper Higher price point Key Features Check Price on Save 25% off a new subscription, or 12% off a one time purchase at Honest Paws with code CATSTER25! Full-Spectrum Oil In addition to CBD, the full-spectrum hemp oil in Honest Paws Well CBD Oil Tincture for Cats contains many minor cannabinoids, including CBDV, CBDA, CBG, and CBC. The amount of additional cannabinoids in this product is impressively high compared to most of the oils I’ve tested in the past. These lesser-known hemp compounds are beneficial for a few reasons. First, they help enhance the effects of CBD via the “entourage effect.” And secondly, they each have their own unique effects on the body. For example, CBG has been shown to increase cognitive function and focus while helping the body relax. And CBC is a potent anti-inflammatory and may even be more effective than CBD in combating depression. Pure Ingredients In addition to full-spectrum hemp oil, the only other ingredient you’ll find in this product is organic MCT oil. Honest Paws doesn’t include any flavorings or other additives. Given how picky cats can be about what they eat, I believe this choice was intentional. MCT oil has a nice neutral flavor that is easily overshadowed by the natural flavor of your cat’s food. This makes it very easy to add Well CBD Oil Tincture for Cats to your kitty’s meals without them noticing. I’ve found that it blends especially well with canned food, but I’ve also successfully given it to my cat by mixing it with his dry kibble and a little water. How to Use To make dosing as easy as possible, Honest Paws crafted this tincture to have a low concentration. This makes it possible for them to recommend a simple one-dropper dose for cats of all sizes. Each dropperful contains 4.2 mg of CBD. Most vets recommend a dose of 1 to 5 mg per 10 pounds, with the lower end considered a maintenance dose and the higher end a therapeutic dose. You can certainly adjust the amount you give your cat depending on their size and needs. The dropper has measurement markers to help you accurately give the right amount. Although, these can be tricky to see since they are the same color as the pipette. You can give this CBD oil directly to your cat or put it on their food.

How We Tested I used the same testing protocol for this CBD oil as I have on the dozen or so CBD products I have tested in the past. I started by doing thorough research on the brand and the oil itself. I read through the third-party lab tests, noting the purity and concentrations of various compounds. I also spent time digging into the extraction processes and ingredient sourcing. From there, I began my hands-on testing by adding this oil to my cat’s breakfast every day for the last 3 weeks. I noted how well he accepted the supplement, any negative reactions I saw, and changes in his behavior and health. I continued these notes through the full three-week test. Check Price on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What does this CBD oil help with? This full-spectrum product is great for general wellness. It supports the immune system and cognitive health while promoting calm. Is this just for cats? The concentration of CBD and the ingredients used in this product make it a great choice for cats. Honest Paws also sells some dog-specific products with concentrations and ingredients tailored to their needs. What if my cat won’t eat it? If your cat won’t eat their food once this product is added, try reducing the dose and slowly increasing it as they get used to it. If this doesn’t work, you may be better off trying Honest Paws’ cat CBD soft chews. Conclusion If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to support your cat’s overall health, I recommend checking out Honest Paws Well CBD Oil Tincture for Cats. This quality oil brings all the benefits of CBD in a package tailored to the needs and tastes of felines. It is made with only organic ingredients and contains a full spectrum of cannabinoids to support immune, cognitive, and overall health.
