Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to eliminate 10,000 federal health jobs, shrinking the department's workforce by nearly 25%. The cuts, part of a broader reorganization, will impact agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health. The department also plans to close half its regional offices. Kennedy said the move is aimed at realigning with core priorities, while critics warned it could slow critical health services and oversight. | Trump Pulls Stefanik’s UN Nomination President Trump on Thursday withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination for U.N. ambassador to support the GOP’s razor-thin 218–213 majority in the House. Stefanik’s vote has been pivotal for passing Trump’s agenda, and her departure risked upsetting that balance. Trump said Stefanik will rejoin House GOP leadership and continue pushing his “America First” platform from Congress. No replacement nominee for the U.N. role has been named.
Stefanik drew national attention in December 2023 for her questioning of Ivy League university presidents about their response to anti-semitism on campus, causing several of them to resign later. | List: Most Reliable Car Brands of 2025 Lexus, Buick, and Mazda ranked as the most reliable car brands in the U.S., according to a consumer research company's 2025 survey.
