The CDC Has a Leadership Crisis

WIRED

A 2023 law championed by Republicans requires the CDC have a director confirmed by the Senate. For months, though, it's had only acting directors--and the White House won't say when that will change. As the agency rotates through a cast of leaders, it's unclear when--or if--the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will get a permanent director under Donald Trump's second term as president. Following Jim O'Neill's departure as acting CDC director last week, National Institutes of Health director Jay Bhattacharya will now lead both agencies temporarily. It's the latest in a series of shakeups at Trump's CDC, which has lost about a quarter of its staff to mass layoffs carried out by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. last year.

Washington - An AI-manipulated image depicting the moments before immigration agents shot an American nurse spread across across the internet, eventually making its way onto the hallowed floor of the U.S. Senate. Social media platforms are awash with graphic footage from the moment U.S. agents shot and killed 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota -- a moment that sparked nationwide outrage. One frame from the grainy footage was digitally altered using artificial intelligence, according to AI experts. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Trump is letting Putin win

Al Jazeera

Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Istanbul for the second time in a month on June 2 to explore the possibility of a ceasefire. The talks lasted just over an hour and, once again, produced no meaningful progress. As with the May 16 negotiations, both sides claimed they had laid the groundwork for prisoner exchanges. But despite Ukraine's offer to hold another meeting before the end of June, a deep and unbridgeable divide remains between Kyiv and Moscow. More meetings are unlikely to change that.


'It's long past time': Colombian-born GOP senator rallies around making English official language of US

FOX News

FIRST ON FOX: Freshman GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno is introducing a bill that would declare English as the official language of the United States. The bill, named the English Language Unity Act of 2025, would "declare English as the official language of the United States" and "establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization, and to avoid misconstructions of the English language texts of the laws of the United States." Variations of the bill have been put forward in the past, including in 2023 from then Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who said at the time that English "has been a cornerstone of American culture for over 250 years" and that it "is far past time for Congress to codify its place into law, which is exactly what this bill does." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Moreno, who was born in Colombia, said, "JD Vance was right – English is the official language of the United States and, as one of the only naturalized citizens serving in the Senate, I should know." Bernie Moreno has introduced a bill to make English the official language of the United States.
