13.02.2025 โ‡ข Day Treaties Rose From Ashes
โŒจThe morning witnessed a federal judge clearing Trump's workforce downsizing plan, allowing 75,000 federal workers to accept buyouts. This development triggered immediate agency-wide firings, with Musk's DOGE team leading implementation.

By midday, Trump's call with Putin regarding Ukraine peace talks generated extensive coverage, leaving European allies and Zelensky demanding involvement. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr. as Health Secretary in a narrow 52-48 vote, while Manhattan's top federal prosecutor resigned after refusing to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Adams.

Evening brought Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs on nearly all trading partners, expanding previous days' trade measures. The plan emerged during meetings with India's Modi, suggesting a broader realignment of trade relationships. Fourteen states sued Trump and Musk over DOGE's creation, while federal judges continued blocking various executive orders, including restrictions on transgender healthcare.
