The Brief: Feb. 14, 2025 – The Deep State vs. Doge and Trump’s Next Power Move

Patrick Gunnels breaks down the latest deep state meltdown as 14 states sue Elon Musk, claiming his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is unconstitutional. Apparently, cutting government waste, firing useless bureaucrats, and exposing corruption is just too much for these blue-state attorneys general to handle. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is losing it over Trump’s call with Putin, trying to spin it as some grand betrayal of Europe, when in reality, the U.S. is finally forcing the EU to stand on its own two feet.

Back in D.C., the swamp is panicking as CISA just got gutted, with 17 election security officials placed on leave. The same agency that swore the 2020 election was the most secure in history is suddenly scrambling to justify its existence. Meanwhile, the DOJ is purging corrupt prosecutors, and Trump just announced a massive energy deal with India, sending U.S. oil and gas exports soaring while cutting into China’s influence.

With the deep state flailing, Trump making massive power moves, and the bureaucratic machine getting a long-overdue reality check, it’s clear that the old system is falling apart. The only question now is...who’s next on the chopping block?
