In a tense Senate hearing, Hegseth’s confirmation is debated while health experts redefine obesity beyond BMI metrics
Washington: So, the Senate confirmation hearings kicked off yesterday, and it was quite the scene. Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, faced some tough questions. The Republicans were in his corner, defending him against some serious allegations about his past.
Senator Joni Ernst, despite some doubts, said she’d back Hegseth. With the Senate split 53-47 in favor of the GOP, they can only lose a few votes if all Democrats oppose him. It’s a tight squeeze!
Today, six more nominees are up for hearings, including Pam Bondi for attorney general and Marco Rubio for secretary of state. It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out.
In other news, Kate Middleton shared that her cancer is in remission, which is such a relief. Meanwhile, health experts are suggesting we look beyond just BMI to define obesity, considering other health factors instead.
And let’s not forget about the fun stuff! The cast of “Severance” pulled a cool stunt in New York’s Grand Central Station to promote their new season. It’s all happening!
