29.01.2025 โ‡ข Day Gitmo Opens for Migrants
โŒจThe White House's federal funding freeze, implemented yesterday, collapsed by evening after widespread confusion and legal challenges. The administration pivoted to offering federal workers eight-month severance packages to quit voluntarily, mirroring Musk's Twitter strategy.

RFK Jr.'s HHS confirmation hearing dominated midday coverage, with protests erupting over his vaccine positions. His struggles with basic Medicaid knowledge generated extensive coverage, while senators questioned his past statements on healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

By evening, Trump announced plans to repurpose Guantanamo Bay for holding up to 30,000 migrants, signing the Laken Riley Act as deportation operations expanded nationwide. Immigration policy shifts accelerated with the revocation of Venezuelan TPS status and new directives to identify student visa holders accused of antisemitism.

Former Senator Menendez received an 11-year prison sentence for bribery, while federal employees' unions advised against accepting the administration's "deferred resignation" offer.
