The Trump administration is preparing to downsize the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies, cutting over 1,200 jobs. The Washington Post reports hundreds at the CIA have already taken early retirement, with further cuts to come via hiring freezes. CIA Director John Ratcliffe says the goal is to realign the agency with Trumpâs national security vision. The administration has also scrapped DEI programs, fired top generals, and is shifting intelligence focus toward China and human sources. Some laid-off employees are challenging terminations in court. Tulsi Gabbardâs office has not responded to the reports.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49â51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.
