President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal government to his liking suffered a loss in court when a federal judge blocked his administration from firing the head of a federal watchdog agency without cause, likely triggering a lengthy appeal that could end at the Supreme Court.
U.S. District Justice Amy Berman Jackson determined the move was unlawful and issued a permanent injunction that reinstated special counsel Hampton Dellinger to his position.
Meanwhile, the Social Security Administration said it will cut 7,000 jobs and six of its 10 regional centers as part of the president’s downsizing of the federal workforce.
And Trump’s physician announced the president will have his annual physical next month, days after reporters raised questions about a bruise they saw on the back of his hand.

During the first Cabinet meeting of Trump’s second administration, Elon Musk -- who is not a Cabinet member -- is seated to Trump’s back right.
He does not have a seat at that table.
Trump is seated directly across from Vice President JD Vance, while being flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Trump is now convening with his Cabinet for the first time in his second term.

The White House will now decide which news outlets are represented in the daily White House press pool, not the White House Correspondents Association, press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday.
"I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows, and who listen to your radio stations," Leavitt said.
The WHCA spoke out against the decision.
"It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps," White House Correspondents' Association president, Eugene Daniels, said in a statement Tuesday.
The press pool is a small group of White House reporters allowed to get close to the president, and ask questions, in the Oval Office and in some other settings. The WHCA includes media organizations that cover intimate events with the president through a rotating pool of reporters and shares those notes with other outlets.
Leavitt said the new process will open up the pool to other outlets not included in the pool previously.
"Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join -- fear not -- but we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome, responsibility," she said.
