Donald Trump announced plans to nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz, former TV host and Senate candidate, to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which serves about half of Americans. In a closed-door meeting, House Republican leadership outlined their 2024 priorities, focusing on funding the U.S.-Mexico border wall, Trump’s tax cuts, and rolling back Biden administration policies. Senate Republicans opposed a proposal to shift background checks for cabinet nominees from the FBI to private investigators, fearing it would make confirmations easier. The Detroit City Council passed a motion to track the harm of marijuana and e-cigarettes on youth, while also preparing to regulate related ads. The Genesee County Board of Commissioners rejected seven recall petition attempts for Flint’s mayor, citing residency issues with petitioners.
