Forbes: Here’s Where Trump’s Government Layoffs Are—As DOGE Reportedly Accesses Employee Info At Pentagon
The Trump administration is set to begin mass layoffs of probationary employees across various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Health agencies, and the Department of Energy. The layoffs are part of broader budget-cutting measures, with thousands already affected.

Fox News: FLASHBACK: Trump seeks to expand fertility coverage, after Tim Walz once accused him of being ‘anti-IVF’
President Trump signed an executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization (IVF) more affordable and accessible, addressing concerns over high treatment costs, which can range from $12,000 to $25,000 per cycle. The order mandates the Domestic Policy Council to propose recommendations within 90 days to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for IVF.
This directive follows political tensions surrounding IVF, particularly accusations from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz that the Trump administration is anti-IVF, stemming from the actions of Trump's running mate, JD Vance. Despite the Catholic Church's opposition to IVF, Vance has stated that personal religious beliefs should not dictate public policy. The Right to IVF Act, which aimed to establish a nationwide right to IVF, failed in the Senate.

The Federalist: The Most Pro-Family Thing Trump Can Do Is Ditch His IVF Support
President Trump signed an executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization (IVF) more accessible and affordable for American families, promoting it as a solution to the nation's low fertility rates. The administration's plan includes efforts to reduce costs associated with IVF treatments.
Critics argue that while the order may increase access to IVF, it does not address the ethical concerns surrounding embryo creation and destruction, nor does it guarantee successful parenthood. The piece contends that the focus should shift to more traditional family structures and alternative solutions like adoption, rather than expanding an industry that prioritizes profit over ethical considerations.
