Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.
The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.
Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.
At least 40,000 federal workers have accepted the deferred resignation offer to leave the federal government, two administration officials told ABC News.
Those administration officials said they expect that number to grow, with the biggest spike Thursday.

Senate Democrats are requesting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent meet with the Democratic caucus to discuss the Department of Government Efficiency's access to its payment system.
In a letter to Bessent on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the ranking members of several major committees wrote, "Congress requires answers about the scope of 'DOGE's' activity."
The senators added that the Treasury Department's written responses on this have been "wholly insufficient, and even illusive, and evasive and, in many cases, the responses stand in direct conflict to Elon Musk's public statements and the work of 'DOGE.'"

"The president is involved in very complex and high-level negotiations of great consequence to both the United States and the state of Israel, and we look forward to working with our allies, our counterparts, both diplomatically and militarily, to look at all option," he said.

Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have been working at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The DOGE representatives have access to payment and contracting systems but have not been given access to databases that include the identifiable personal health information of enrollees, the sources said.
CMS provides health coverage to more than 160 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Health Insurance Marketplace.
