House Democrats are calling for the resignation of a defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, following scrutiny over deadly boat strikes and an issue referred to as "Signalgate." The Democrats' ideological caucus believes Hegseth's actions are putting American lives at risk. The Pentagon announced that four men were killed in a recent boat strike in the Pacific. Separately, a federal vaccine advisory panel is expected to vote on whether to change the recommendation that all newborns be immunized against hepatitis B, following a delay and contentious meeting.
