Badlands Daily: Feb. 27, 2025 - Trump’s Trillion Dollar Cuts, FBI’s Honeypot Scandal and Ukraine’s Mineral Deal

CannCon and Zak Paine break down the latest Doge bombshell, as Trump’s administration cuts 10,000 USAID contracts, exposing how billions in “foreign aid” were really just backdoor slush funds. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s purge of federal payrolls reveals thousands of government employees who may not even exist.

Also in the spotlight, Kash Patel’s FBI just reopened the Comey-era honeypot operation, where undercover female agents were embedded inside Trump’s 2016 campaign. With evidence getting destroyed behind the scenes, the question remains: who in the FBI is about to flip?

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s so-called “democracy” gets even more ridiculous, as Zelensky’s government leaks a mineral deal with the U.S., trying to lock in Trump’s support while avoiding a total collapse. Plus, the media meltdown continues, Joy Reid and Lester Holt get the axe, and Jeff Bezos suddenly wants the Washington Post to promote personal liberty and free markets. Strange times.
