Senate Republicans are growing increasingly frustrated after a series of President Trump's nominees tapped to key posts have been ousted or have left after only a short stint in office, leaving lawmakers scratching their heads after they poured considerable time and effort into their confirmations. At least five such people have departed for various reasons, but a majority have left after dust-ups with key administration officials. Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez and ex-IRS Commissioner Billy Long serve as prime examples. |

OPINION | The numbers are stark and undeniable. New research from The Lancet projects that as PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, hangs in political limbo, the world will see 4.43 to 10.75 million additional HIV infections and up to 2.93 million HIV-related deaths by 2030. Broader USAID cuts could contribute to 14 million deaths globally, with 500,000 children dying from AIDS and 2.8 million experiencing orphanhood. |
