Manage episode 463717191 series 2847832
Today’s Headlines: The White House ordered a $10 trillion freeze on federal financial aid, but a judge temporarily blocked it. While details remain unclear, the freeze could impact Medicaid, food stamps, disability benefits, and student aid. Medicaid systems briefly crashed nationwide, raising concerns about potential cuts. Trump rejoined the Geneva Consensus Declaration, an anti-abortion pact, and halted PEPFAR HIV/AIDS funding as part of a broader foreign aid review. Federal agencies face mass firings, hiring freezes, and severance offers for employees who resign. The new acting U.S. Attorney in D.C. is reviewing cases of pardoned January 6th defendants—some of whom have already been re-arrested. Billionaire Scott Bessent was confirmed as Treasury Secretary. RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearings begin, with his cousin Caroline Kennedy urging senators to reject him. Michigan Sen. Gary Peters announced he won’t seek reelection in 2026. Meanwhile, Google is renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” after the Trump administration updated its official government sources.
