| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | ⚕️ Multiple CDC officials were fired or resigned. The exodus followed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s changes to the vaccine approval process and the withdrawal of certain COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. The Director of the CDC, confirmed in late July, had to be fired by the White House after refusing to resign. | ✅ Dan Scavino will be in charge of Trump administration hiring. Scavino has served as a longtime aide to President Donald Trump, working alongside him since 2015. Now, he'll be in charge of the Presidential Personnel Office. While the former occupant, Sergio Gor, was well-liked personally by many in the administration, some expressed discontent at the slow pace of hiring. | ✂️ Trump demands states cut gender education or lose funding. The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) funnels tens of millions of dollars to states for them to teach sex education. However, many states have incorporated gender discussions, such as lessons on "gender identity." States that do so, like NY and PA, will lose millions in federal funding if they do not cut those lessons. | 🚔 10 FBI whistleblowers targeted under Biden are getting their security clearances back. The whistleblowers, who revealed a variety of wrongdoing — including sweetheart deals for DAs accused of sex crimes, complaints about mismanagement, and overzealous prosecutions of Jan. 6 defendants — reached a settlement from the Trump administration. Alongside their security clearances, they will also be receiving back pay. |
