1.33 a.m.: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s cousin has urged the US Senate not to confirm its relatives as Minister of Health. “He lacks any relevant experience,” wrote Caroline Kennedy in a letter to the parliamentary chamber, which was published by the “New York Times”. Caroline Kennedy is the daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is his nephew.

“Bobby is addicted to attention and power,” says the letter. He builds up his followers by taking advantage of the despair of parents of sick children. So he has his own children vaccinated, but “hypocritically” advised other parents to do the same. “I urgently ask the Senate to reject its nomination.”

US President Donald Trump wants to make the former non-party presidential applicant and confessed vaccination opponent the head of the Ministry of Health-provided the Senate confirms him. Kennedy had started as an independent candidate in the presidential election, but withdrew his hopeless candidacy and joined the Republican camp.

On Tuesday, Trump’s spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt asked on Tuesday when she was performed in the press room of the White House, such “new media voices” to apply for an accreditation in the government center.

Trump has accused many traditional media for years to report unfairly about him. The right -wing populist has distanced the media reporting critically about him as “enemies of the people”.

7.41 p.m.: The government of US President Donald Trump has imposed a drastic budget lock. The arrangement received by the Budgetary Bureau of the White House on Monday applies to state subsidies and loans of a wide variety of kind. For example, payments for foreign aid, non-governmental organizations, for the conversion of energy supply to climate-friendly forms of energy and diversity and equality programs are temporarily frozen.

According to the order, the government now wants to check during the preliminary stop of the funding and aid funds which of these payments will continue and which may be permanently discontinued. The preliminary expenditure lock applies from Tuesday afternoon (local time). How far -reaching the lock should be is unclear. Social assistance and state health insurance medicar for seniors and people with disabilities are excluded from the lock.

It is also unclear whether the president is authorized to stop expenses that have been decided by the congress. According to the US constitution, the parliament and not the president has the decision-making power over the budget. Therefore, the decision among opposition Democrats also caused bright outrage. Their leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, described the measure as “illegal” and “unconstitutional”. He announced that the Democrats, on the other hand, would fight “in every way we can”. However, Trump’s republicans have the majority in both houses of the congress.
