WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he's nominating former Fox News Channel contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general after Dr. Casey Means’ path forward stalled in the Senate. In a social media post Thursday, Trump said Saphier is “a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment.” Senators of both major political parties grilled Means on her vaccine stance and other health topics during a tense confirmation hearing, deepening doubts about her ability to secure the votes she needs for the position. Saphier in at least one case has pushed back on Trump's medical messaging.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives approved bipartisan legislation Thursday to fund DHS agencies, including the Secret Service and Transportation Security Administration, but not ICE.

Early voting had been scheduled to begin Saturday ahead of the May 16 primary elections.
State officials said they will now work with the Louisiana Legislature and election authorities to develop a new plan to move the process forward.
The ruling and resulting suspension mark an unexpected disruption to the state’s congressional election calendar.

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson has been indicted on 30 counts following a major jail escape in New Orleans, Louisiana.
A grand jury charged Hutson with malfeasance, obstruction of justice, and falsifying public records in connection with the incident.

All of the escaped inmates were later captured.
Hutson recently lost her reelection bid and is set to leave office on Monday.
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said his administration plans to release government files related to UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena in the near future.
Trump made the comments during remarks alongside the Artemis II astronauts, saying the documents would be made public “very soon,” though he did not provide a specific timeline.
The announcement follows earlier directives from Trump ordering federal agencies to review and begin declassifying materials tied to UFO investigations and possible extraterrestrial life.
Officials have not detailed what the files contain, but the effort comes amid continued public and congressional interest in long-classified government UFO records.
The United States has indicted the governor of Mexico’s Sinaloa state and other current and former officials over allegations of ties to the Sinaloa cartel.

The case, unsealed in New York, alleges the officials used their positions to protect cartel operations and interfere with law enforcement efforts.
Rocha has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated and an attack on Mexico’s sovereignty.
The indictment could strain relations between the United States and Mexico as both countries continue efforts to combat cartel-related violence and drug trafficking.
