Trump administration updates: Schumer continues to face calls for new leadership

Trump signed two executive orders behind closed doors Tuesday.

One removes diversity, equity and inclusion as a factor in hiring for the State Department.

The order removed DEI as a guiding principle in recruitment and promotions within the Foreign Service.

It also directed the government not to factor "an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin" into hiring decisions or in "any element of the Foreign Service," according to a fact sheet from a White House official.

The second EO launched a "National Resilience" strategy aimed at state and local preparedness against cyber attacks and weather events, according to officials.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed "new, severe and escalating sanctions" against Venezuela unless the Maduro regime "accepts a consistent flow of deportation flights, without further excuses or delays."

"Venezuela is obligated to accept its repatriated citizens from the U.S. This is not an issue for debate or negotiation. Nor does it merit any reward," Rubio wrote in an X post Tuesday.

The threat comes in the wake of the administration's deportation of Venezuelan nationals who are allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador.

Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle USAID likely violated the Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down the agency.

Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution to exercise the authority entrusted to them."

While Chuang rebuked Musk's role within the Trump administration, the exact implications of the decision on the operations of USAID remain unclear.

Trump gave his readout of his call with Putin in a Truth Social post, calling it "very good and productive."

"We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine," Trump wrote in the post.

Trump repeated his argument that the war would have never started had he been in office.

"Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end. That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!" Trump added.
