Faced with a boycott from Democrats just yesterday, Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin are confirmed after the Senate Finance Committee moved to approve both with only Republicans participating.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to block federal payments to Planned Parenthood for a year, though the action didnt satisfy some Republicans who are prepared to shut down the federal government over the issue.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a second-term Republican who has called President Barack Obamas health-care overhaul a failed federal program, is benefiting from it in his fiscal 2016 budget.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie named nine members to a commission he created to recommend changes to the states pension system, which he calls bloated and unsustainable.
