RFK Jr. distance from the skepticism of the vaccine at the confirmation audience
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces a second day of questions from the senators, and Tusli Gabbard will face the Senate Intelligence Committee while both look for places in the Donald Trump cabinet.
At yesterday’s audience before the Senate Finance Committee, the most aggressive lines of research came from the Democrats who challenged the long history of skepticism of Kennedy’s vaccines. Kennedy tried a delicate act of balance: Defend and deny his controversial past (referring to him in an opening statement as “pro-segration”), while undertaking to be an administrator responsible for the agency. Kennedy too stumbled When legislators pressed it on possible changes in Medicaid, with Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, the classification member of the Finance Committee, which suggests that Kennedy did not seem to know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. This is what arose yesterday. Kennedy will meet today with the Senate’s Health, Work, Labor, Work and Pensions Committee.
Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s election for the national intelligence director who changed matches and supported the president’s 2024 campaign, will face questions from the Senate Intelligence Committee.

For suggestions on how Patel’s political agenda could take shape if confirmed, Look at “the suspendables” Three former special conservative agents of the FBI who have criticized the office and their extensive investigation into the disturbance of the Capitol of January 6.

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum yesterday that put the movement preparations for an installation to house thousands of migrants in the American military camp in the Bay of Guantanamo, Cuba. The announcement caught many officials in the pentagon offside, five defense officials said.
Trump provided for the board In a signature ceremony for Laken Riley’s LawAn immigration detention measure and the first bill signed in its second term, saying that “would instruct the National Defense and Security Departments that begins to prepare the installation of migrants of 30,000 people.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegesh, said in Fox News that the Naval Base “is a perfect place” for Trump’s mass deportation plans.
However, federal officials have questions about how the Trump directive should be carried out.

Staff selection: In Deepseek, users can see censorship in real time
The night popularity of the Deepseek artificial intelligence assistant caused a great impression in the technological world this week. But the Chinese property application is not without its own peculiarities. We asked Deepseek 10 questions On politically sensitive issues in China, and in each case, the IA assistant refused to respond or produced an answer that took an explicit position of the Pro-Chino government. Sometimes, he even starts writing an answer before going back, eliminating his own response to a user’s eyes.
When asked about the apparent censorship, the spokesman of the Chinese embassy, Liu Pegyu, said: “Artificial intelligence is not out of the law, and all governments are administering it according to the law, and China is not the exception”. – Angela YangCulture and trends reporter
