President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, putting him in charge of a massive agency that oversees everything from drug, vaccine and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid.
Kennedyâs stance on vaccines has made him a controversial figure among Democrats and some Republicans, raising question about his ability to get confirmed, even in a GOP-controlled Senate.

The satirical news publication The Onion won the bidding for Alex Jonesâ Infowars at a bankruptcy auction, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax.

Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party's sweep into power and securing their hold on both chambers of Congress and the White House. Republicans earlier gained control of the Senate.
A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority.
With hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Trumpâs vision for the country.
The incoming president has promised to carry out the countryâs largest-ever deportation operation, extend tax breaks, punish his political enemies, seize control of the federal governmentâs most powerful tools and reshape the U.S. economy. The GOP election victories ensure that Congress will be onboard for that agenda, and Democrats will be almost powerless to check it.

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Massachusetts Air National Guard member to 15 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to leaking highly classified military documents about the war in Ukraine.
Jack Teixeira pleaded guilty earlier this year to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act following his arrest in the most consequential national security case in years. He was brought into court in an orange jumpsuit and showed no visible reaction as he was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani.
Earlier in the hearing he apologized before the judge.
Prosecutors had originally requested a 17-year sentence for Teixeira, saying he âperpetrated one of the most significant and consequential violations of the Espionage Act in American history.â
Defense attorneys had sought an 11-year sentence. In their sentence memorandum, they acknowledged that their client âmade a terrible decision which he repeated over 14 months,â But they argued that Teixeiraâs actions, though criminal, were never meant to âharm the United States.â He also had no prior criminal record.

Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, faced dozens of felony convictions and survived two assassination attempts.
He defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket. The results mark the second time Trump has defeated a female rival, eight years after his win against Hillary Clinton left many women devastated.
Trump is the first former president to return to power since Grover Cleveland regained the White House in the 1892 election. He is the first person convicted of a felony to be elected president and, at 78, is the oldest person elected to the office.
