White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education

Two people with knowledge of the plans informed NBC News that the White House is drafting an executive order to abolish the Department of Education. A federal agency cannot be abolished by President Donald Trump on his own without Congress's consent. The proposed order is the culmination of Trump's campaign pledges to dismantle the federal Education Department, which was founded in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter. "One other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states," the then-candidate stated in a video shared to social media in September 2023. Trump stated previously in the film that although American society spends more than $1 trillion ye...

A Senate subcommittee decided Tuesday to send Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to the entire chamber for consideration as secretary of health and human services, clearing a significant obstacle.

The best shampoos and treatments for thinning hair, according to experts

Looking at the drain to see how much hair you've lost while taking a shower is the epitome of dread. While it's common for the amount and thickness of hair to fluctuate over time (a person may lose between 50 and 100 strands per day), abrupt hair loss may indicate a medical issue. Pattern hair loss, regardless of the cause, is unpleasant for everyone and can lead to serious psychological problems for those who experience it. Even though doctors believe that heredity is the cause of pattern hair loss, some products may be able to promote hair development and stop future hair loss. However, it's important to determine the root cause of your hair loss before purchasing a "magic" elixir in a hurry. I discussed the reasons of hair loss and thinning hair with trichologists and dermatologists, as...
