17.02.2025Day Planes Fell As Agencies Crumbled
The morning coverage centered on Trump's Supreme Court petition to expand presidential firing authority, while mass terminations continued across federal agencies, particularly affecting health services and FAA personnel. DOGE secured legal victories for accessing federal databases, including IRS systems, despite opposition from Senate Democrats.

By afternoon, European leaders convened an emergency meeting in Paris as the administration moved forward with Ukraine-Russia peace talks. Poland explicitly rejected troop deployment proposals, while the UK's Labour leader suggested British military involvement.

The evening was dominated by a Delta Airlines crash in Toronto, with a Minneapolis-originating plane flipping on landing, injuring 19 passengers. In New York, four deputy mayors resigned over Mayor Adams' reported arrangements with the Trump administration, extending the pattern of institutional upheaval that characterized the week's developments.
