The director of the FDA’s food division resigned on Monday, saying the loss of critical employees made his work impossible. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s new health secretary, has pledged to gut the division.

On Monday, thousands of protesters across the country hit the streets to tell Donald Trump and Elon Musk “No kings on Presidents’ Day” in response to the barrage of alarming actions—from legally questionable executive orders to mass firings—taken by the administration since the inauguration.
