Today's Thursday, January 23rd.
Here's what we're covering.
Donald Trump's dramatic steps to reshape the U.S.
government are causing upheaval at multiple federal agencies.
At the Department of Health and Human Services, a memo went out temporarily prohibiting the release of any public communication unless it's reviewed by a Trump administration appointee first.
That includes any new health guidance or notices from agencies like the Centers for Disease Control or the Food and Drug Administration.
They are essentially muted over at the National Security Council, which is tasked with dealing with crises around the world.
The staff were told yesterday to pack up, go home and wait to see if they'd be invited to apply to get their positions back.
Trump's national security advisor said anyone who is brought back will be, quote, fully aligned with Trump's America first agenda.
And at the State Department, which Trump has called the deep State Department, insinuating that it's full of people working against him, dozens of senior officials have cleared out faster than usual and many don't have replacements yet.
Trump has also put his stamp on the hiring process for new federal employees.
Yesterday, he revoked a long standing policy banning discrimination in government hiring.
