The Brief: Feb. 10, 2025 - Trump’s Treasury Battle, USAID Fallout & The Kennedy Center Shake-Up

Patrick Gunnels is back with another packed edition of The Brief, breaking down the chaos unfolding in Washington as Trump’s team goes to war with the Treasury Department over blocked financial records. A federal judge just threw up last-minute roadblocks, but is this all just part of the bigger takedown?

Meanwhile, the USAID meltdown is hitting new levels, with traumatized staffers comparing their mass firings to a horror movie (spoiler: nobody feels bad for them). And in one of the biggest power moves of the week, Trump fired deep-state billionaire David Rubenstein from the Kennedy Center and installed himself as chairman. Why does Rubenstein own half of America’s historical archives, and what does this mean for the deep state’s control over historical narratives?

Also on deck: Trump’s next play with North Korea, DHS accusing the FBI of leaking ICE raid plans, and why the deep state is suddenly terrified of Russia in Gaza. The controlled demolition is accelerating, and we’re here to break it all down.
