The U.S. Army is planning a $45 million parade through Washington, D.C., to celebrate its 250th anniversary, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s birthday.
Here’s a look at what $45 million could provide for health care, housing, veterans’ services and food assistance: www.splcenter.org/re...

These HHS RIFs are reckless and cruel. In a typical RIF, employees aren’t locked out immediately—they stay to wrap up work and ensure a smooth transition. Instead, this admin abruptly shut everyone out, creating chaos that harms both workers and the people they serve.
