Americans witnessing crippling federal regulations can go directly to DOGE to report red tape rule
FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Government Efficiency launched a website where Americans can directly report and suggest how to deregulate policies within the federal government, Fox News Digital learned.
«Your voice in federal decision making,» reads the website Regulations.gov, «Impacted by an existing rule or regulation? Share your ideas for deregulation by completing this form.»
DOGE worked with the Government Services Administration, an independent agency tasked with helping support the functioning of other federal agencies, and the Office of Management and Budget, which is the federal office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts, to launch the website earlier this month, Fox Digital learned.
«DOGE is combining the administration’s goals of adding transparency and slashing waste, fraud, and abuse by offering the American people the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions. This DOGE-led effort highlights President Trump’s priority to put the people first and government bureaucrats last,» White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox Digital.

The website’s main page directs users to a form where they can report «deregulatory suggestions,» which provides users with more than a dozen prompts regarding their issue.
The prompts include describing which federal agency had promoted a regulation at issue, if the regulation is finalized or in the midst of the rule-making process, justification for the deregulation, the history of how the regulation operates, and the title and name of the agency’s leader, as well as other detailed information on the regulation.
The form prompts users to provide their name, but the box is not mandatory to complete before submission. The person who submits a deregulatory suggestion could see the Trump administration name the rescission to the rule after the individual.
«Only answer if you would like the rescission to be named after you or your organization. Providing your name does not guarantee that it will appear on any final agency action, and we reserve the right to refrain from using names that are inappropriate or offensive,» the prompt asking for the user’s name states.
TRUMP WANTS MUSK TO STAY WITH ADMINISTRATION, SAYS DOGE FOUND SOMETHING ‘HORRIBLE’ TODAY
DOGE’s public leader, Elon Musk, has railed against government regulations for months, including when he joined President Donald Trump’s campaign in key battleground states to rally support.

In a Pennsylvania rally ahead of the election, Musk recounted how his company SpaceX was wrapped up in «bunch of nutty stories» related to government overregulation, including studying the probability of the company’s Starship rocket hitting a whale or shark and facing lofty fines from the EPA for «dumping fresh water on the ground.»

«I’ll tell you like a crazy thing, like we got fined $140,000 by the EPA for dumping fresh water on the ground. Drinking water. It’s crazy. I’ll just give you an example of just how crazy it is. And we’re like, ‘Well, we’re using water to cool the launch pad during launch. You know, we’re going to cool the launch pad so it doesn’t overheat. And in excess of caution, we actually brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water,’» Musk said to the audience in Folsom, Pennsylvania, last year.

«And the FAA said, ‘No, you have to pay a $140,000 fine.’ And we’re like, ‘But Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area. Sky water falls all the time,’» Musk recounted, referring to SpaceX’s headquarters in Texas. «‘That is the same as the water we used’ So, and it’s like… there’s no harm to anything. And they said, ‘Yeah, but we didn’t have a permit.’ We’re like, ‘You need a permit for fresh water?’» Musk recounted.
DOGE CHAIN OF COMMAND REVEALED IN COURT FILING, SHOWING MUSK IS NOT THE BOSS
Trump went on a deregulation blitz targeting energy and climate regulations last week in a series of executive orders aimed to «unleash» the power of coal energy in the U.S., including ending a pause to coal leasing on federal lands, promoting coal and coal technology exports, and encouraging the use of coal to power artificial intelligence initiatives.

«President Trump knows that the bureaucracy is built to regulate, not deregulate. The result is an ever-increasing number of regulations that stifle innovation and limit American freedom,» the White House said in a fact sheet on the EOs last week.

Henrique Capriles fue expulsado del partido Primero Justicia por respaldar las elecciones legislativas convocadas por Maduro
El partido opositor venezolano Primero Justicia (PJ) anunció este lunes la expulsión del dirigente político Henrique Capriles Radonski y de otros cinco miembros, a quienes acusó de actuar en contra de la línea unitaria acordada por la oposición y de favorecer al régimen de Nicolás Maduro al inscribirse en los comicios legislativos y regionales convocados por la dictadura para el 25 de mayo.
La decisión fue comunicada por la dirección nacional del partido mediante un comunicado difundido en su perfil oficial en la red social X.
Según PJ, los expulsados “traicionaron la unidad y el mandato popular” al participar en un evento que se desarrolla, según el texto, “al margen de la unidad democrática” y “en abierta contradicción con lo aprobado por el Comité Político Nacional”.
Además de Capriles, la medida afecta al ex secretario general del partido Tomás Guanipa, a la fundadora Amelia Belisario, al coordinador político nacional Ángel Medina, al ex gobernador del estado Zulia Pablo Pérez, y al ex diputado Juan Requesens, conocido por su rol en las protestas de 2014.
PJ señaló que la participación de estas figuras en los comicios de mayo no representa una iniciativa aislada, sino una conducta progresiva que se distanció del “mandato expresado por millones de venezolanos” en las elecciones del 28 de julio de 2024, y de la estrategia respaldada por la Plataforma Unitaria Democrática, del presidente electo, Edmundo González Urrutia, y del liderazgo de María Corina Machado.
La dirección del partido calificó de “especialmente indignante” que Capriles y Guanipa hayan sido “habilitados selectivamente”, a pesar de que hasta hace poco estaban inhabilitados políticamente.
Denunció que ambos negociaron con el régimen y se beneficiaron de una tarjeta electoral otorgada mientras que los partidos opositores “legítimos” permanecen “judicializados y secuestrados por el poder”.
En el comunicado, PJ recordó que en Venezuela siguen existiendo presos políticos, dirigentes en la clandestinidad y otros en el exilio. En ese contexto, sostuvo que quienes aceptan participar en procesos convocados por el chavismo contribuyen a la normalización de un sistema político “sin garantías ni condiciones democráticas”.
Por su parte, Henrique Capriles rechazó públicamente su expulsión. En una declaración difundida también por redes sociales, aseguró que desconoce la autoridad de la actual dirección del partido, la cual considera “secuestrada” por su fundador, Julio Borges.
“No existe autoridad para ejercer expulsiones por la participación electoral, ni tampoco reglamentos que se respeten”, afirmó Capriles, quien acusó a Borges de imponer una agenda marcada por la “inacción”.
Capriles, que fue candidato presidencial en 2012 y 2013, defendió su decisión de concurrir a las elecciones de mayo al considerar que “el voto es una herramienta de lucha”.
En sus palabras, abstenerse “solo beneficia la tragedia que representa para los venezolanos Nicolás Maduro”. También señaló que las elecciones presidenciales del 28 de julio de 2024 constituyen “el hecho político más importante de los últimos años”, y que su deber es insistir en participar cada vez que exista la posibilidad de ejercer el sufragio.
En ese sentido, subrayó: “Creemos firmemente en que nuestro deber es acompañar a los venezolanos en la búsqueda de un cambio y que eso pasa por persistir en nuestro derecho que es el voto”. Según Capriles, la participación no representa una renuncia a la lucha sino una vía para “lograr un mejor país”.
En reacción a la postura de Capriles, el dirigente opositor Juan Guaidó lo acusó de haber abandonado su rol como referente democrático.
“Quien fue dos veces candidato presidencial de la oposición pone fin, de forma definitiva, a su trayectoria como referente democrático”, afirmó.
Guaidó criticó que Capriles se inscribiera “en una lista inconstitucional”, dividiera el partido que fundó y se presentara a “un proceso fraudulento”.
A juicio de Guaidó, el chavismo ha logrado reducir a Capriles “a una pieza funcional dentro de un sistema que pretende perpetuarse”, lo cual calificó como un “hecho lamentable que merece reflexión”.
También advirtió que enfrentar a una dictadura exige firmeza, y que los intentos por validar procesos organizados por el régimen solo debilitan la causa democrática.

The Trump administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism announced it is freezing over $2 billion in multi-year grants and contracts to Harvard University in Massachusetts, after the school’s president released a statement saying the school would not comply with the administration’s demands regarding antisemitism.
«Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation’s most prestigious universities and colleges – that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws,» the task force said. «The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable.
«It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously and commit to meaningful change if they wish to continue receiving taxpayer support,» the statement continued. «The Joint Task Force to combat anti-Semitism is announcing a freeze on $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60M in multi-year contract value to Harvard University.»
The decision comes after Harvard University President Alan M. Garber said the school would not comply with the Trump administration’s demands, despite the possibility of the Ivy League school losing federal funding.

In his letter, Garber said the federal government has threatened its partnerships with several universities, including Harvard, over accusations of antisemitism on their campuses.
He also noted that the Trump administration issued an updated and expanded list of demands, saying if the school plans to maintain a financial relationship with the federal government, it must comply.
«It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner,» Garber wrote. «We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement.»

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who graduated from Harvard in 2006, ripped the Ivy League school’s response, saying in part, «…Harvard University has rightfully earned its place as the epitome of the moral and academic rot in higher education.»
«Fueled by the radical groupthink Far Left faculty, inept University leadership, donations by foreign adversaries, and pro Hamas terrorists, Harvard has fully embraced and tolerated the raging antisemitism threatening the lives and physical safety of Jewish students on campus,» Stefanik said. «It is time to totally cut off U.S. taxpayer funding to this institution that has failed to live up to its founding motto Veritas. Defund Harvard.»
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey praised Harvard’s decision to not fold to the Trump administration.

Specifically, she thanked Harvard and Garber for their leadership in standing up for education and freedom by standing against, what she called, the administration’s «brazen attempt to bully schools.»
«We all agree that antisemitism has no place in America and that it should be fought in the workplace, classrooms and everywhere,» Healey said. «Complying with the Trump Administration’s dangerous demands would have made us all less safe.»
President Donald Trump has suspended federal funding to every Ivy League, besides Penn and Dartmouth, over investigations into anti-Israel protests that have taken place on their campuses since October 2023. Funding for dozens of other universities has also been impacted by investigations for the same reason.
Earlier this month, a federal antisemitism task force announced a review of Harvard’s federal grants and contracts, worth nearly $9 billion, as the university faces an investigation into campus antisemitism.

The Trump administration has promised to be more aggressive in ending campus antisemitism after saying President Joe Biden did not hold universities accountable for their violent protests.
The administration has also made moves to detain and deport foreign students who participated in or orchestrated anti-Israel protests at American universities.
