GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Sunday railed against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for what he called a "series of failures" at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services. "This has been a failure. If I were president, I would choose someone else because there needs to be accountability for higher health care costs, more measles deaths, losing elimination status, and no progress on processed foods," Cassidy said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Two planes collided with one another on a taxiway at Miami's international airport on Saturday night " a day after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an hours-long nationwide ground stop due to communication issues affecting multiple air traffic control centers. In a statement, the Trump administration-led FAA said the wingtip of a Copa Airlines Boeing 737 struck the nose of a United Parcel Service Boeing 767 "while the airplanes were taxiing at Miami International Airport".
The weekend was marked by thousands of flight delays and cancelations in the wake of a four-hour FAA ground stop on Friday which the Trump administration said stemmed from routine but botched maintenance aiming to switch telecommunication lines from old copper wire to fiber optic cables.
The Trump family's media group may soon be forced to sell hundreds of millions' worth of assets, including some of its crypto holdings, or take on costly new borrowing as it comes under pressure to repay up to $1bn in debt. Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which runs the Truth Social app and is controlled by Donald Trump's family, faces a November 30 deadline to repay convertible bonds it sold last May to fund its creation of a "bitcoin treasury" to hoard digital currency. But shares in TMTG have plunged and bitcoin has fallen by about a third in the past year, despite the Trump administration ushering in a more permissive era for cryptocurrencies. The company's waning share price, which is down more than 60 per cent this year to $4.64, has meant lenders to the company who had hoped to convert their notes to stock at $34.72 are deeply out of the money.
