The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Trump’s “America First” priorities. https://to.pbs.org/48QSJMF
Trump recalls nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and embassy posts

Threatening to defund hospitals that provide evidence-based, life-saving gender affirming care is cruel and harmful and will destabilize our nation’s hospitals. Decisions about health care should be made by the individual and their health care provider, not by politicians.

Lawmakers have framed the Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) as a necessary response to disastrous wildfires, but critics argue the bill’s solutions are a mirage. They say it would allow officials to push through large management projects indiscriminately, while limiting avenues for public oversight.
