President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to follow a recent health assessment recommending fewer childhood vaccines. This order supports changes to reduce the number of vaccine doses for children and asks the CDC to update the vaccine schedule based on the latest data.
Key Facts
President Trump issued an order for the CDC to align with a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report calling for fewer childhood vaccines.
The HHS report said the U.S. recommends more childhood vaccines than other developed countries.
In January, the CDC reduced its vaccine recommendations for children from 17 doses to 11 doses.
Medical experts and groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics criticized the CDC’s new recommendations.
The American Academy of Pediatrics created its own vaccine schedule, which differs from the CDC’s.
The CDC’s advisory panel was replaced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who questions some vaccine science.
A judge ruled the new vaccine schedule illegal, saying the government ignored proper scientific processes.
The Trump administration argues U.S. vaccine schedules are heavier because Americans face different disease risks than children in other countries.

The lead federal prosecutor in the case accusing James Comey of threatening President Donald Trump is no longer on the case. The case is about a 2025 Instagram post by Comey showing seashells arranged as "86 47," which prosecutors claim was a threat to the president.
Key Facts
James Comey was charged last month in North Carolina with threatening President Trump.
The case centers on a photo Comey posted showing seashells forming the numbers "86 47."
The number "86" is slang for "throw out" or "get rid of," which some interpreted as a threat.
Comey deleted the photo and said he didn’t realize the numbers could be seen as violent.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Petracca, the lead prosecutor, was removed from the case and replaced by Timothy Severo.
The case is set for trial in October 2025.
Comey denies wrongdoing and plans to fight the charges, claiming the prosecution is politically motivated.
Legal experts say proving something is a threat is very difficult, and some see the charges as an attack on free speech.

Louisiana lawmakers approved a new congressional district map that is expected to help Republicans win an additional U.S. House seat. The new map removes one of the state’s two majority-Black districts, both represented by Democrats, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the previous map was an illegal racial gerrymander.
Key Facts
Louisiana passed a new redistricting map designed to increase Republican seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The new map eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts, which are held by Democrats.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the previous Louisiana map for racial gerrymandering in April 2024.
The Voting Rights Act, a law that prevents racial discrimination in voting, was weakened by the Supreme Court’s decision.
Republicans currently hold four of six Louisiana House seats and aim to win a fifth with the new map.
The Louisiana state Senate approved the map by a vote of 28 to 10.
Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, is expected to sign the new map into law.
Louisiana postponed the state’s primary election and changed it to an open primary on November 3 to allow time for the new map.
Democrats argue the map squeezes Black voters into fewer districts, while Republicans say the changes focus on party affiliation, not race.
