Trump administration freezes many health agency reports and posts
The Trump administration has put a freeze on many federal health agency communications with the public through at least the end of the month.

"In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dorothy Fink told agency staff leaders Tuesday that an “immediate pause” had been ordered on — among other things — regulations, guidance, announcements, press releases, social media posts and website posts until such communications had been approved by a political appointee."
