Nicole Saphier's Surgeon General Nomination: What Trump's Choice Means New

Nicole Saphier's Surgeon General Nomination: What Trump's Choice Means

President Donald Trump is not slowing down ahead of November’s midterm elections.The president recently called on the Republican-controlled Senate to get to work and confirm more of his nominees.One of those nominees is Dr. Nicole Saphier, whom the president picked to serve as U.S. surgeon general after withdrawing the stalled nomination of Casey Means.The move places a prominent physician and media figure at the center of the administration’s public health agenda.“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier to be the next SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.Advertisement Trump praised Saphier’s medical background and her work in cancer treatment and prevention. He highlighted her role guiding patients through diagnoses and promoting early detection.“Nicole is a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment while tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention,” Trump said.Saphier is a radiologist who has served as director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth in New Jersey.She is also a regular contributor on Fox News and Fox Business, where she has commented on a range of public health issues. ( @realDonaldTrump – Truth Social Post ) ( Donald J. Trump – Apr 30 2026, 12:43 PM ET ) I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier to be the next SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Nicole is a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding… pic.twitter.com/QYjklD701H — Fan Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸 TRUTH POSTS (@TruthTrumpPosts) April 30, 2026Saphier now enters the confirmation process as the administration seeks to fill one of the nation’s most visible public health roles.The surgeon general serves as the federal government’s leading spokesperson on public health and medical issues.If confirmed, Saphier would take on a high-profile position responsible for addressing national health challenges and advising the public on medical issues.The timeline for Senate consideration of her nomination has not yet been announced.Separately, there are more than two dozen federal court vacancies.Labor Secretary, FDA commissioner, and scores of other open positions do not have nominees, and a senior White House official said Trump is in no rush to fill them.“Ultimately, we need to have the right people in those positions,” said the official, who was granted anonymity to describe internal thinking. “So if it’s acting for now, so be it. If [it] takes a little while to find that perfect person, then it takes a little while.”That’s unsettling some Republican senators who are anxious to fill spots ahead of the midterms, a daunting task given the legislative calendar and host of competing GOP priorities.“We’re running short on time,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a member of the Senate HELP Committee, which oversees health, labor and other issues. “We’d love to get at least one or two of them and get it in the next tranche.”As far as judges, Tuberville said he wants to see “as many as we can get” nominated, adding, “I don’t know why we don’t have more.”Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said he “absolutely” wants to see the president nominate more judges before the end of the year.Texas has three court vacancies with zero nominees.“And that’s one of his greatest legacies, both first term and second,” Cruz said of Trump.Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) previously complained that the White House hasn’t nominated more judges.More recently, though, he’s blaming his committee for not acting more quickly on the already pending nominees.“Right now it’s hard for me to blame the White House when in the last three executive weeks, we were supposed to have meetings to vote judges out, we couldn’t have enough members present,” Grassley said in an interview.A White House official said, “Trump plans to nominate well qualified individuals to fill these vacancies.”This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Ecuador en el ojo del huracán tras el partido contra México: ¿Qué pasó realmente? New

Ecuador en el ojo del huracán tras el partido contra México: ¿Qué pasó realmente?

La Federación Ecuatoriana de Futbol emitió un comunicado en el que menciona que pedirá una investigación a la FIFA, máximo ente regulador del futbol, tras lo ocurrido durante el partido entre México y Ecuador en el Estadio Ciudad de México por los 16avos de final. "La Federación presentó un reclamo formal ante la FIFA, solicitando una investigación pormenorizada de los hechos ocurridos antes y durante el partido -incluidos todos aquellos que pueden haber comprometido temas de seguridad para nuestra hinchada y jugadores-. Este es el canal correcto y oficial para esclarecer cualquier situación relacionada con un encuentro de esta magnitud", dijo la FEF en su comunicado. ¿Qué dijo la Federación Ecuatoriana sobre lo ocurrido en el México vs Ecuador?Tras la derrota de Ecuador con México en el partido de 16vos de final de la Copa Mundial 2026, la Federación Ecuatoriana lanzó un comunicado en el que explica lo sucedido en México con aficionados y presuntas amenazas para sus jugadores antes y después del partido.Esto, ya que diversos medios argentinos y ecuatorianos comenzaron a comentar que varios jugadores habían recibido amenazas para no jugar bien ante México; sin embargo, nadie pudo mostrar pruebas sobre lo presuntamente sucedido a varios jugadores que militan en el país.Asimismo, las quejas de la Federación Ecuatoriana son sobre la presencia de aficionados a las afueras del hotel de concentración horas antes del encuentro contra México, luego de que el pasado 30 de junio compartieran un comunicado en el que se quejaban del asunto. “Ecuador siempre responderá en la cancha estas acciones deportivas”, dijo la FEF el pasado 30 de junio.

Why Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Were Snubbed from Taylor Swift's Wedding

Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, were shut out of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding held on Friday.“Taylor’s in a different place now and she just wants to be around people she trusts and who bring her peace,” a source exclusively told Page Six. “It’s a shame because she and Blake really were close, but she doesn’t think it’s something that’s going to be fixed. As far as [Taylor’s] concerned, their friendship is done.”Last month, Page Six exclusively confirmed that the Grammy winner did not extend a wedding invite to “The Town” actress.Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds (both seen above in 2025) were not in attendance at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

(Seen above with L-R Gigi Hadid, Lively and Kaleigh Sperry.) Instagram/@taylorswift.updates13“There was a point where Taylor thought she and Blake would get past all of this,” the source said. “She didn’t expect things to end up like this. At first she figured once everything settled down, they’d be fine.”“But then more stuff kept happening and it just got harder to come back from.”According to the insider, “It wasn’t one big thing, it was everything adding up. By the time Taylor was making decisions about the wedding and who she wanted there, she realized she just didn’t want that kind of energy around something so important and it really was a turning point for her.”A rep for Swift did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.Meanwhile, Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were snapped far away from the pop star and Kansas City Chief tight end’s rehearsal dinner on Thursday evening.

REUTERSSwift and Lively (both seen above in 2023) stopped becoming friends after the singer was dragged into the actress’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni. GC ImagesThe “Gossip Girl” alum and Swift’s friendship imploded in 2025 when the singer was dragged into the former’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.In January 2025, the director filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, alleging defamation, extortion and more. (The lawsuit was dismissed that June.)In the docs, Baldoni shared texts from the “A Simple Favor” star, showing a discussion they had about the “Bad Blood” singer.“I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better,” Lively’s text read.The director (seen above with Lively in 2024) previously subpoenaed the pop star to appear in court as a witness.

Hugh Jackman/Instagram“Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.”In another alleged text, Lively referred to the pop star and Reynolds as her “most trusted partners.” In May 2025, Swift was issued a subpoena to appear in court as a witness in the actors’ ongoing legal feud. Later that month, Baldoni, 47, dropped the “Cruel Summer” singer’s subpoena.In January, additional private text messages between Swift and Lively were exposed in court docs.In one message from 2023, the “Fortnight” singer took aim at Baldoni, saying he had “gotten out his tiny violin.”Lively (seen above with the singer, Ice Spice and Ashley Avignone at the Super Bowl 2024) was absent from Swift’s bachelorette activities in June.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Secretive Wedding Stuns Fans

Music superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are officially husband and wife.The couple wed in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler in New York City, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News on Friday.Swift's brother, Austin, served as her "man of honor," while Kelce's brother, Jason, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift embrace after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.Ezra Shaw/Getty ImagesBoth the bride and groom wore custom looks by Dior, with the bride wearing a haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson.No official wedding photos have been released by the couple, who held a two-day wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden said to include more than 1,000 guests.The world-famous arena, home to the New York Knicks, recognized Swift and Kelce's marriage Friday with a sign that lit up to read “JUST&T MARRIED,” referencing the couple's first names.Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.Hugh Grant and Anna Elisabet Eberstein arrive at Madison Square Garden on July 3, 2026 in New York City. According to reports, several permits have been filed with New York City around the venue. There have been unconfirmed reports that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be celebrating their wedding in the area.Roy Rochlin/Getty ImagesOn Thursday evening, Swift and Kelce held a smaller gathering at the arena for around 100 people, sources said. An SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was photographed arriving at MSG around 5 p.m. on Thursday.For both events, a strict no-phone policy was in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources. Representatives for Swift or Kelce did not confirm any details about the events.Just hours before their event Thursday, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.The "Shake It Off" singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement last August in a social media post that included photos of Kelce's flower-filled proposal and a close-up of Swift's old-mine brilliant–cut diamond ring, which ABC News confirmed was custom-designed by Kelce and jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.The couple's romance began in the summer of 2023, when Kelce revealed on his "New Heights" podcast that he'd unsuccessfully tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during one of her Eras Tour concerts.Swift later told TIME she found the gesture "metal as hell," and the two started spending time together soon after.By November 2023, Kelce confirmed their relationship in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, praising Swift's ability to handle intense public scrutiny.Swift, meanwhile, revealed in her December 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview that the couple had enjoyed private time together before going public."We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other," she said at the time.Throughout their relationship, the pair have been each other's biggest supporters, with Swift attending Chiefs games, including Super Bowl LVIII and Super Bowl LIX, and Kelce cheering Swift on at numerous Eras Tour stops, even joining her onstage during her London show in June 2024.Scroll below to see some of the wedding guests arriving Friday at Madison Square Garden.Hugh Grant and Anna Elisabet Eberstein arrive at Madison Square Garden on July 3, 2026 in New York City.
