1. A mold and mildew remover that'll clean your kitchen, your sinks, your bathroom, and so much more in less time than it takes to watch a few Bridgerton episodes. It's easy to apply and the best part is NO SCRUBBING. Just leave it to do the dirty work while you do literally anything else with your precious time. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still managed to grow mold and turn brown/ black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product and the transformation is huge . First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." — Rochelle Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 2. A pack of corner guards for all those sharp corners in your home that are constantly scratching you and your loved ones. These handy easy-to-apply guards will — reviewers swear — make your house ~more well rounded~ 🥁 and safer! Promising review: " Must-have. I love these. We just moved in with family, and they had a coffee table with super-sharp corners and I have a little one who pulls up on everything and is trying to walk. To say I was on edge is an understatement. My sister-in-law didn’t want an obnoxious baby proof item around her house, but these were so discreet she didn’t even notice that I had installed them. They are so soft that my little one started gumming on them to soothe his gums, LOL. They were super easy to install, stuck on very well and with not much effort, and came with plenty so if I need them I’ll have them handy. Super satisfied! If you’re thinking about getting, them please do!" — Amazon Customer Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $6.38 . 3. A broom for pet hair to scrape up your four-legged bestie's shedding efforts... especially needed after you give your pet has a blowout that makes your house resemble a fur factory more than a home. The handle extends up to 60 inches to make sure you can get all of the hair in one cleaning go. Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it." — Joyce V Get it from Amazon for $15.91 . Check out my colleague's FURemover Evriholder broom review for more deets and some very satisfying photos of the globs of hair she removed from her carpet. 4. A silverware sorter if you're tired of your kitchen drawers feeling like a high-stakes game of pick-up-sticks when you go hunting for your fav spoon amongst the sharp forks and knives. Promising review: "I bought two of these because I have a disgusting amount of toddler/baby silverware along with regular silverware. Since I put these in, WOW does my drawer look organized and empty. I get compliments all the time. " — Melanie slinger Get it from Amazon for $9.69 . 5. A velvet storage ottoman so you can squirrel away little extras in plain sight and have a really cute option for visitors who need to pull up a chair. (Bonus points that flipping the top can convert it into a quick side table!) BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord swears by hers. In her own words: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes , and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)." Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals , and other little miscellaneous things." — Monica N Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 6. A lawn repair formula that'll magically make grass appear in places your dog has selected as her special pee spot. It uses a special salt-neutralizing formula to target pet pee and frequent digging and high traffic areas so that your grass can be uniformally thick and luscious. Promising review : "I have lacrosse players and dogs and this stuff is amazing. My yard looked like an abandoned lot before this and it literally 'grew anywhere' just like it said. The bag I planted last year actually came back strong this year so I put more down and it is working like a dream!" — chchmom Get it from Amazon for $19.49 . 7. And a pack of carpet stain-removing pads because pets aren't the only ones who cause messes, but this will help with their mini-disasters, too. You just put the pad over the stain, try out a little of that Irish dancing you keep seeing on TikTok (give it a good stomp!), and voila! No more stain and all without pulling out the bulky gadgets! Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than five stars. " — Matt Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48 . 8. A set of wad-free pads from Shark Tank for making your sheet cleaning day a breeze.

Cyndi Bray, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" — katy Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in packs of two or four). 9. A peel-and-stick wallpaper if the DIY bug is calling but you want something with minimal effort. It's like a sticker book for your home, and nearly just as easy! Promising review: "I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart. I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close I can’t tell where the seams are. It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give six stars I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!" — Lizzy Get it from Amazon on sale for $22.31+ (available in three colors). 10. Or a sheet of marble contact paper so you can have more easy peasy DIY upgrade options. The marble pattern can fit into just about any aesthetic, and reviewers love that the contact paper is a high quality thickness that will stand up to splashes and frequent use. Promising review: "I resurfaced my office desk with this paper and it looks really good. What I like about it is that it's waterproof (I have spilled coffee and water and it wipes up without soaking into the contact paper.) Easy to install and pretty. I just ordered another roll for my linen shelves and will be ordering more for my laundry cabinet shelves." — Amazon Customer Get a roll from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in six sizes). 11. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets because we have to remember enough things off the top of our heads without adding "cooking time for favorite chicken nuggies" to the list. Promising review: "So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" — Small~Town~Girl Get them from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in six colors) 12. A pet hair roller that'll save your outfit and your furniture from looking like your furry friend rules the roost. (I mean, they totally do, but we've gotta keep up appearances in the human world, ya know?) Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good. " — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three styles). 13. A set of NoNo Brackets for hanging curtains over your vertical blinds without having to drill a single hole. The brackets attach to the existing blind rod so that you can safely secure a curtain rod atop it which is ✨ great✨ if you're not sure where your drill ended up in the last round of spring cleaning. *raises hand* Promising review: "This bracket is awesome and was extremely easy to install. We were able to hang curtains over our vertical blinds in just a few minutes and didn't even need any tools. Great product!!!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.95 (available in a variety of colors ). 14. An easily washable drip catcher so cleaning the dishes doesn't also mean cleaning the new Great Lake behind your faucet. Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon. Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." — Alina Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors). 15. A pack of sink extenders if you — like me — have a hyper-independent kid whose confidence doesn't quite translate to being able to reach the water stream just yet. Pro tip: You can throw these in the top rack of the dishwasher to give them a clean about once a month to avoid weird water buildups. (Ask me how I know.) Promising review: "I am very satisfied with my purchase! These reach just perfectly for my daughter's daily/nightly hygiene routine; it extends out just the right amount. She doesn't have to struggle any longer washing her hands or just getting ready for the day. They are the perfect fit too and stay in place just fine. They are easy to install, remove, and use. Also durable, flexible and easy to clean. I highly recommend: 5 out of 5 stars!" — Katie Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.44 . 16. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so you can kiss mildew and that weird stain beneath your shampoo bottles goodbye with a spray-it-and-leave-it ease that will have you wishing you could spray your whole house with this stuff. Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two scents). 17. A pair of ceiling fan chain pulls that make it super easy to know which chain belongs to the ceiling fan and which one belongs to the light. Why can't everything in life be this clearly labeled? Promising review: "Absolutely adorable! They add panache to the fan, and you never have to worry about which pull to choose. The set also makes it easier for me to reach them. They do not get in the way and are a sturdy fit into the original chain. Would highly recommend to anyone." — Scholar Mama Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in four colors and two lengths). 18. A weather-resistant cedar wooden path because everyone deserves an outdoor space that is a little more like The Shire and a little less like reality. This pathway rolls out to a whopping 8-feet that you can put ~anywhere~ because it comes already joined. Promising review: "The cats love to sleep on them and they do keep the wetter pathways dry under your feet . They are lasting quite well and although not cheap by any means, they are standing up to cats and people walking on them all day long . They are surviving both rain and sun and wind. We will be purchasing more." — susan osako Get it from Amazon for $88.99 . 19. An outdoor drink stakes set your guests will love for it's whimsical look, but also for its genius applications. Say goodbye to setting drinks in the grass only to have them invaded by every pest in your lawn. These should be mandatory around every corn hole/extreme frisbee/pickleball playing area. Promising review: "These are great. They are large enough to hold large drink tumblers like a Yeti, they will hold a beer with a thick foam koozie, they will hold a giant Fosters can, and yes, it is large enough to hold a bottle of wine. They are made out of metal and seem pretty durable. Each one is two pieces that screw together and they have a small tab to help you push them into the ground with your feet. The only thing I would improve is to make the foot tab a little larger, otherwise they have my stars." — Jamawama Get a set of four from Amazon for $18.74 . 20. Some washing machine cleaning tablets to give one of your fav household appliances some needed TLC. These work on front and top loaders, so if your machine is starting to smell in between washes, it's time to give it a fresh start with these mildew and residue busting tablets! They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Promising review: "A 5+ star review from me. My washing machine had a moldy/mildew smell so strong that I could smell it upon entering my home, it was overwhelming. I did one cycle and the smell is gone and also it washed out all this black, grimy residue . It worked so well I thought why not go for a second cycle immediately and again it is pulling out even more grimy stuff. I did have to wipe it out after the first cycle but not a big deal at all. This is an amazing product. I must also mention that my washer is only 4 years old and it contained this much grime — imagine a much older washer. Thank you, you have a new customer." — Me. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98 . 21. A pack of floral wall decals if you want to liven up some walls in your house without the extreme hassle of digging out paint brushes, paint cans, paint drop cloths, etc. Reviewers recommend mapping out where you want the stickers before placing them as the adhesive is quite sticky. Promising review: "These were so easy to apply and were even more beautiful than I had thought. The color is rich and it makes my bedroom feel peaceful. I'm going to order another set to add some life to the adjoining bathroom." — Melissa A. Zimmerman Get it from Amazon for $16.80 (available in three other designs). 22. A mounted brush that'll give your kitty scritches on repeat, even when you're not there! Bonus points that if you have a cat that sheds a lot, this can help cut down on hairballs of all varieties. Promising review: "My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and knew he would love it! It took a little convincing but once he got a hang of it he’s been loving it ! We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall. " — T. Mangiaracina Get it from Amazon for $4.99 . 23. A sheepskin rug brush because your textured outerwear and blankets will start to look clumpy and sad if you don't give them a good brush here and there. This brush is designed to de-mat and clean out any hidden dirt and pet dander that might be burrowed in the fibers. Promising review: "Long story short, I had a messy, drunken incident that ended up with my family heirloom bearskin rug in the washing machine. The fur was all matted, and I didn’t know what to do. I called several taxidermy places that all told me that there was nothing they could do. So I decided to purchase this brush as a last resort, to see if I could possibly revive the hair with this brush. Well lo and behold, it did the trick and the rug hair looks as good as now." — April Get it from Amazon for $7.99 . 24. A wall-mounted retractable clothes rack for anyone who needs some extra space in their closet or wants a convenient (and easily hidden!) rack to hang clothes that don't belong in the dryer. Promising review: "We needed something in our laundry room to hang clothes to dry that we were not putting in the dryer. This, well made, little invention is perfect. It folds into itself to stay out of the way when not in use. We love it!" — S. Albright Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). 25. A heavy-duty oven scrub to make years of splatters and oven ick disappear with no waiting time. Reviewers love that the scents are not overpowering, too, which *cannot* be said for all oven cleaners.

It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great! " — Melissa C. Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents). 26. A microwave veggie steamer if veggies are on the menu but digging out pots and pans is not. This genius device will ensure you eat your greens without the hassle of turning on the stove. Promising review: "I love fresh vegetables but hate having to cook up the whole batch and store. This little microwave steamer worked out even BETTER than I could have imagined! I use it almost every day now. I can break off a few stalks of broccoli, cut up a some asparagus, carrots, steam it in the microwave for 3–3.5 minutes and I have a wonderful serving of mixed fresh veggies anytime I want. I love it! It is small, so if you're feeding a family, look for something bigger along the same lines. It's easy to clean, and it seems sturdy enough for the dishwasher, but I hand wash it because I had a microwave steamer that got warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again." — terifrancis Get it from Amazon for $15.13 . 27. A panel of books so you can fill up the empty space on your bookshelves with some aesthetically pleasing faux-book spines! Instead of looking at tangled cords and white space around your gaming systems, you can fool guests into thinking they are looking at a well-organized TBR. Covogoods is a woman-owned small business based in Utah. Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade starting at $29 . 28.

I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get , especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it on Amazon for $39.99 . 30.

Promising review: "It’s a perfect addition to clear some counter space in my small kitchen . Everything I needed was included aside from a drill to pre-drill some starter holes for the hooks. My husband cut down the dowels an inch or so to fit under our narrow cabinets. The color of yarn I chose matches well with our kitchen colors and I love the style of yarn it was made with . Thank you!" — Kayla Get it from Knapps Knots for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors) 32.

The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging . I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe . It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" — Sara B Get it from Amazon for $28.90+ (available in four colors).

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Miller to serve as his homeland security adviser and deputy chief of staff for policy in his second administration. Miller served as Trump's director of speechwriting and senior adviser during the first administration. During an appearance on Fox News ' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo , Miller discussed Trump's agenda starting with what he aims to do from day one, including reforms to border security as well as energy and tax policies, saying the plan is to put these policies on a "fast track." Newsweek reached out to the Trump transition team by email on Sunday morning for comment on Miller's interview. Miller went into greater detail on how the administration plans to actually tackle its massive border reform, which would result from a funding package from Congress that would lead to "the most significant border security investment in American history." The package would allow the government to increase the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) agents through incentives that include "historic" pay raises for agents and "full funding for military operations, full funding for ICE beds, full funding for Air and Marine operations, full funding for all of the barriers and technology that you need to ensure there's never another got away entering this country." "President Trump, regardless, on day one, is going to issue a series of executive orders that seal the border shut and begin the largest deportation operation in American history. But you're talking about what would be the largest investment in immigration and border security," Miller said. He added: "This is something Republicans have been talking about for decades, but with Donald Trump, this is something that is going to happen. It will be the most important and significant, as I said, domestic policy achievement in half a century." Additionally, Miller said that Congress would address a "comprehensive tax reform package" that would deal with State and Local Deductions (SALT) and "different policy baselines that you're going to use for the tax cuts, about corporate tax reform, about trade reform, manufacturing reform, and all those tax policies." "Tax reform will happen," Miller said. "It will happen, and it will be the greatest tax bill that we've ever seen now. These are not final these are ongoing discussions and negotiations. But I just want to be very clear that no one's talking about delaying tax reform." On other policies Miller expects to see in the first 100 days of the second Trump administration, he said: "You're going to have energy reforms, maybe additional border reforms, but the very important point in all this is that with the current size of the majority in the House, there isn't a proposal to pass taxes in February. That's going to take some period of time." Miller continued: "When President Trump comes into office right away, he's going to fully deregulate the energy market, fully deregulate the financial market, fully deregulate this economy. You're going to get a jolt of job growth and job creation and inflation relief from his deregulatory agenda unlike anything anyone has ever seen before."

Jae Crowder is nearing a return to the league. The veteran forward is close to striking a deal to join the Sacramento Kings this season, . Specifics of that deal are still unknown. He is, however, expected to be available as soon as Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis. Crowder, 34, spent the last two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 13-year veteran, who was first selected in the second round of the 2012 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, will join his ninth team in the league once his deal with the Kings is official. He averaged 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season in Milwaukee. Crowder helped lead both the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns to the NBA Finals in back-to-back years, though he’s yet to win a championship. Crowder became a free agent this past offseason, and he worked out with the Kings over the summer, though he was unable to strike a deal to land with any team. The Kings are dealing with significant injuries, and have lost seven of their last 10 games entering Wednesday’s contest in Minnesota. Forward Trey Lyles is out for at least three weeks with a right calf strain, which he sustained in Monday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. DeMar DeRozan will also miss Wednesday’s game with lower back muscle inflammation, though it’s unknown how long he’ll be sidelined. Third-year coach on Tuesday after he chased down an official in their loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, too. Though it’s unclear what his role will be with the franchise just yet, Crowder should be able to provide some much-needed depth in the frontcourt behind Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis at least in the near future. We’ll see if he’s the missing piece to lift the Kings out of their slump.Column: Oregon Tech adds five more stalwarts to Hall of Fame
Dusty May, No. 14 Michigan try to continue strong start vs. Arkansas
Shares of chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD -5.57% ) fell 5.4% in Monday trading, as of 2 p.m. ET. The semiconductor stock fell today on the heels of an analyst downgrade from a Wall Street sell-side analyst, capping off a difficult few trading days for the artificial intelligence (AI) hopeful. Bank of America downgrades Today, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya downgraded AMD to neutral from buy, while lowering his price target from $180 to $155. The timing of today's downgrade was also noteworthy. On Friday, AMD's stock also declined following a statement from an Amazon executive that Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest cloud platform on the planet, was "not yet seeing" demand for AMD's MI300 roster of AI GPUs. AMD had hoped to make inroads in the exploding AI market, but at least this quote suggests the major clouds are either buying leader Nvidia 's most advanced chips or merely making their own in-house designed training chips at lower cost. Just last week, Amazon said its Trainium2 chips were available, and that it was building a "supercluster" with said Trainium chips for outside customers and AI start-up Anthropic, in which Amazon has invested. Apparently, BofA sees the rise of cheaper internally made chips from all cloud providers, as well as Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell chip, as crowding out the opportunity for AMD in AI. Additionally, Arya noted some have projected soft PC demand in the first half of 2025, which could further weigh on AMD results. AMD could be vulnerable AMD has been a stock market darling for a number of years, but that has pushed its valuation up to 122 times earnings and nearly 30 times next year's projections .

Some members of Donald Trump ’s transition team are reportedly frustrated that Kash Patel and Cliff Sims , both MAGA insiders , appear to be using their positions to promote themselves for deputy director of the CIA . Patel and Sims are both going head-to-head for the No. 2 position at the CIA, Politico reports. The CIA’s deputy director wields immense influence over the intelligence community but does not have to be confirmed by the Senate, unlike cabinet members . However, some transition team members in their orbit are frustrated that the men are advocating for themselves while making staffing decisions, Politico reports. “The issue that a lot of us have is that these people are involved in staffing national security jobs, and at the same time they’re also promoting themselves for the same roles,” an unnamed insider told Politico . Karoline Leavitt, a Trump spokesperson and soon-to-be White House press secretary, denied Politico ’s reporting. “This story is 100% false,” Leavitt said in a statement to The Independent . “The fake news is clearly trying to sow division between two of President Trump’s most loyal supporters. President Trump is choosing brilliant people to serve on his team, and those decisions will continue to be announced as he makes them.” Patel previously served as a National Security Council official, senior adviser at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and chief of staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. He is a Trump loyalist who has railed against the so-called “Deep State.” Even among the most staunch MAGA loyalists, he is viewed as a controversial figure. On Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast last year , Patel said a team of “all-American patriots” in all levels of government in the next Trump administration will “come after” members of the press that he claims have “lied about American citizens” and “helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.” “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminal or civilly, we’ll figure that out,” said Patel, who joined the Trump administration in 2019 as an intelligence official. “We’re putting you all on notice,” he added. “And Steve, this is why they hate us. This is why we’re tyrannical. This is why we’re dictators, because we’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.” Patel has also reportedly been considered for other administration roles. Sims, meanwhile, is a former communications strategist for Trump’s White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. He published Team of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House in 2019, which recounted his time in Trump’s administration. The book angered Trump during his first term. “A low level staffer that I hardly knew named Cliff Sims wrote yet another boring book based on made up stories and fiction,” Trump tweeted in January 2019. “He pretended to be an insider when in fact he was nothing more than a gofer. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. He is a mess!” Sims then sued Trump, arguing the government was stifling his “First Amendment right to disclose unclassified information regarding which he learned during his tenure as a federal employee,” Politico reported. He later dropped the lawsuit and returned to the administration to serve as a senior adviser to the director of national intelligence in October 2020, according to Politico .
