TAKEOFF.

RFK Jr. to Cut 10,000 Federal Health Jobs.

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.

Reliability was measured by problems per 100 vehicles over three years, with Lexus reporting just 140 and Buick close behind at 143.

Tesla showed the biggest improvement, cutting issues by 43 compared to 2024.

Despite gains by some brands, overall vehicle reliability hit its worst level since 2009.

POLITICS.

Senior Republican and Democratic senators issued a bipartisan call Thursday for a probe into the leaked Signal group chat about bombing Yemen. Attorney General Pam Bondi deflected, saying the chat details were “sensitive information, not classified.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that the U.S. has revoked at least 300 student visas over pro-Hamas activities.

Elon Musk announced a $1 million payout Wednesday night on X to a Green Bay voter just days before Wisconsin’s high-stakes Supreme Court election.

President Trump said the U.S. will “go as far as we have to” to acquire Greenland, ahead of Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha’s upcoming visit to the island’s U.S. military base.

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
