President Trump on Thursday nominated his former deputy surgeon general Erica Schwartz for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and moved to fill several other top positions at the beleaguered agency. Why it matters: The CDC has been without a permanent political leader since Susan Monarez was fired in August after serving in the role for less than a month. - If confirmed, Schwartz would face a demoralized workforce that's been racked by turnover. Some current and former employees have blamed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for spreading misinformation and dismantling the public health infrastructure. Driving the news: Trump called Schwartz "a STAR!" in a Truth Social post, adding she had the knowledge and…

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced tough questions on vaccine policy and deep staff cuts at federal health agencies in a pair of House hearings Thursday that marked his first appearance before Congress in more than six months. The big picture: Kennedy doubled down on some of his most controversial moves, but also gave some ground, acknowledging at one point that the measles vaccine could have saved the life of a child who died in an outbreak in Texas last year. Driving the news: Democrats on the Ways and Means and Appropriations committees repeatedly pressed Kennedy on the surge in measles cases across the country and tried to tie them to his vaccine criticism. - "The anti-vaccine rhetoric you ran on and the anti-vaccine actions…

What a terrible state right-leaning media finds itself in. No wonder stories like our lead tonight scarcely get covered elsewhere. It is an absolute travesty — one you must read, share, and take seriously — given what we now know about the COVID…Open

Russell Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, declined to give senators an estimate of the cost of the military operations against Iran when pressed on the issue during a hearing Thursday. Vought said the White House is working on a request for additional defense funding but declined to offer an estimate of how much the war has cost taxpayers so far, telling lawmakers that the costs “fluctuate” day to day. Asked by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) if the administration has already spent $50 billion on the conflict, as some media reports have indicated, Vought said: “I wouldn’t [want] to make a characterization of that at this point.” #IranWar #Budget #Military
