Description: On today’s Top News in 10, we cover: The House of Representatives’ newly created DOGE Subcommittee held its first hearing Wednesday with a focus on the “War on Waste.” The subcommittee is running parallel to President Trump and Elon Musk’s audit of the federal government. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent Wednesday in Brussels, where he told members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to have a dose of realism about the outcome for Ukraine in its war with Russia. The White House is turning up the pressure on federal judges who have blocked many of Trump’s executive actions. White House press secretary Karoline Levitt spoke about the so-called constitutional crisis between the two branches of government at Wednesday’s briefing. Plus, our news flash: The U.S. Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence in a 52-48 vote Wednesday with Sen. Mitch McConnell as the sole Republican in opposition. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem retrieved the $59 million that FEMA allocated last week to house illegal aliens in New York City. Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Scott Perry introduced Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallet Act to rein in the amount of time federal employees spend on union business.
