Healthcare, Foreign Policy, and Media Face Scrutiny

Trump Administration Launches $50 Billion Rural Health Initiative

Washington D.C. – The Trump administration initiated a five-year, $50 billion program aimed at overhauling healthcare in rural America, according to an announcement made in late December. The Rural Health Transformation Program intends to significantly change healthcare delivery in underserved areas nationwide.

The initiative comes as healthcare experts are also pushing for increased lung cancer screenings, citing concerning trends of rising cases among younger adults, particularly women and people of Asian descent, as well as those who have never smoked, according to a 2026 report by the American Cancer Society. Experts note that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., responsible for more deaths than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined, according to Time.

In other news, Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, January 28, addressing the U.S. military operation that ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Rubio defended President Trump's policy toward Venezuela, pushing back on claims that the U.S. had overstepped its bounds, according to NPR News.

Meanwhile, CBS News has begun offering buyouts at "CBS Evening News," seeking to reduce staff, according to Variety. The buyouts were offered by Kim Harvey, the executive producer of CBS Evening News, to employees not tied to the union agreement.

Separately, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old man who was shot dead by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 24, according to Vox.
