โจThe newspapers extensively report on major job cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services, with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announcing the elimination of about 10,000 positions (ABC, Boston Globe, CBS, CNN, Epoch Times, USA Today, Washington Post). This represents a significant portion of the agency's workforce, with reports varying between 10,000-20,000 positions affected. Meanwhile, the ongoing Signal chat controversy continues with reports of a "double standard" in how the administration handles security breaches compared to military personnel (NPR, MSNBC, HuffPost).
