Aides to Elon Musk at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have locked career civil servants out of key computer systems containing sensitive federal employee data.
Musk, appointed to downsize the federal workforce, has quickly placed allies at OPM and revoked senior employees' access to critical databases.
Officials warn that the lack of oversight could pose cybersecurity risks. Affected employees can still use basic functions like email but cannot access workforce data.
OPM memos encourage employees to accept buyout offers and take vacations. Experts, including Don Moynihan, raise concerns over congressional oversight and transparency within the agency.

The EUโs foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, urged member states to increase defense spending to address growing security threats.
She emphasized that all public spending is at risk if defense is neglected.

The U.S. plans to start moving migrants to a detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within 30 days, according to House border czar Tom Homan.
President Donald Trump announced the facility on Wednesday, with a capacity of up to 30,000 migrants. Homan will visit Guantanamo Bay soon to oversee fast-tracked construction, though the facility will start with a small number of detainees.
Guantanamo Bay already has a migrant facility separate from the high-security prison for terrorism suspects, historically used for Haitians and Cubans intercepted at sea.

Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine & current Ambassador of Ukraine to UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi:
Met with Turkish Ambassador Osman Koray Ertaล. We discussed security, stability, and our strategic partnershipโhighlighting Baykar as a true symbol of Ukrainian-Turkish friendship.
To me, the Bayraktar TB2 is more than equipment; it saved thousands of military and civilian lives, and Ukrainians will always remember how these drones stopped the enemy when hope seemed lost.
I appreciate Tรผrkiyeโs cooperation and am confident our defense ties will grow stronger.
We also talked about the Middle Eastโs impact on global security. Tรผrkiye is a key regional player, and our partnership is strategically significant. The challenges we face demand united efforts and a shared vision, and I thank Tรผrkiye for contributing to regional stability.
