White House plans to pull nomination for NASA administrator Jared Isaacman has a long-running relationship with Elon Musk.

Back to square one. Petro is staying for a while I guess.

Was wondering if Isaacman pulled out because he disagrees with with the budget but seems like this was a White House decision.

Governors hoping for diplomatic posts Hertta-Maria Amutenja Some regional governors are reportedly eyeing diplomatic posts as their terms of office are nearing an end. While no official announcements have been made, sources indicate that these governors, whose terms were extended until 20 June, are lobbying for ambassadorial appointments. The governors are said to be leveraging their political and regional leadership experience in lobbying for postings abroad. Diplomatic appointments are usually timed with the international school calendar, starting in August or September, to allow diplomats with school-going children to secure placements. About 25 diplomatic positions are expected to be filled, with new appointees serving five-year terms. Among the key vacancies is the post in Ghana, which opened after former High Commissioner Selma Ashipala-Musavyi was appointed Minister of International Relations and Trade. Omusati governor Erginus Endjala dismissed the speculation, saying he is not in a position to comment on the matter. “There may be some truth in it, but to my knowledge, I was never approached for any appointments. I was never called by any person. Literally, I’m just working as the governor for my three-month extension, and that is what I’m concentrating on. My mandate is to take care of the region until the elected governor takes over, and maybe there will be a next assignment from there,” Endjala said. Erongo governor Neville Andre also dismissed the speculation, saying he has no knowledge of any such plans. “My appointment is in the hands of the president, and I don’t know or have heard of anything,” Andre said. Other governors who are serving a three-month extension include Lawrence Sampofu of the Zambezi region, Elia Irimari of the Oshana region, Aletta Fredericks of the ||Karas region, Sebastian Ndeitunga of the Ohangwena region and Pijoo Nganate of the Omaheke region. The executive director in the Ministry of International Relations and Trade, Penda Naanda, clarified the process for ending diplomatic service. “When their diplomatic term comes to an end, the ambassador is issued a letter of recall from the president. However, an ambassador can serve for two terms. Currently, in Ghana, we have someone who was appointed to be in charge of that office, who is usually the second-in-command and is currently overseeing operations,” Naanda explained. Naanda added that the president has the constitutional authority to appoint ambassadors, citing Article 32 of the Namibian Constitution. “Without derogating from the generality of the functions and powers contemplated by Sub-Article (1) hereof, the President shall preside over meetings of the Cabinet and shall have the power, subject to this Constitution, to accredit, receive and recognise ambassadors, and to appoint ambassadors, plenipotentiaries, diplomatic representatives and other diplomatic officers, consuls, and consular officers,’ he said.  President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah last week appointed seven new regional governors to fill the vacancies left by those elected to Parliament and those who retired. Former deputy minister of industrialisation and trade Verna Sinimbo has been appointed governor of the Kavango-West region, while former National Assembly member Julius Hamunyera Hambyuka will take charge of the Kavango-East region. Businessman Sacky Kathindi has been named Governor of Oshikoto, while former Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) parliamentarian Vipuakuje Muharukua will serve as the Governor of Kunene. John Julius ||Khmuseb has been appointed as the Governor of Otjozondjupa, with City of Windhoek councillor, Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma assuming the role of Governor of Khomas. Riaan Charles McNab has been named Governor of Hardap. President Nandi-Ndaitwah urged the newly appointed governors to deliver on their mandates and ensure efficient governance in their respective regions. The terms of the remaining seven regional governors have been extended until 20 June 2025.

Swapo defends Luvindao Swapo deputy secretary general Uahekua Herunga has defended president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s decision to appoint Esperance Luvindao as minister of health and social services. Speaking to Desert FM yesterday, Herunga dismissed concerns that the new minister is inexperienced, saying no one enters a position with experience. “When I was appointed as deputy minister of environment and later became the full minister, I had no experience, yet I delivered. It is about the character, skills, and willpower of an individual. Luvindao has the qualifications, and this is her opportunity to gain experience,” he said. He said downsizing the Cabinet was necessary to cut costs and redirect resources to critical sectors. Herunga said the reduction of ministers from 21 to 14, with eight women in key positions, was a strategic decision. “The president has the authority to appoint her ministers, and she has done just that. The decision to significantly reduce the number of ministers is to save costs and ensure resources are allocated where they are needed most,” he said. However, critics argue that a smaller Cabinet could lead to inefficiencies and administrative bottlenecks. Herunga dismissed this notion, saying it is better to have fewer ministers working with sufficient resources than a bloated Cabinet working with limited funding.

Russell Vought is an American political figure and policy analyst, currently nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Trump's second term. Vought previously held the same position from July 2020 to January 2021 during Trump’s first administration. He has been a prominent advocate for reshaping federal governance through conservative policies, particularly under the framework of "Project 2025," a Heritage Foundation initiative aiming to consolidate executive power and advance right-wing priorities[2][3][5]. ### Early Life and Education Born on March 26, 1976, Vought earned a Bachelor of Arts from Wheaton College and a Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School. His career began in Washington, D.C., where he worked with several conservative organizations, including Heritage Action for America and the Republican Study Committee[3][4]. ### Career Highlights - **OMB Leadership (2020-2021):** Vought oversaw federal budget planning and regulatory agendas. Notably, he issued a directive to halt federal training programs on critical race theory and "white privilege"[3][4]. - **Project 2025:** As an architect of this initiative, Vought has advocated for policies such as reclassifying civil service positions to enable political appointments, defunding federal agencies like the EPA, and promoting Christian nationalist values in governance[2][3]. - **Center for Renewing America:** Founded by Vought in 2021, this organization focuses on opposing critical race theory and advancing conservative cultural and policy goals[3][7]. ### Recent Developments In November 2024, President-elect Trump announced Vought's renomination as OMB Director. His confirmation hearings have been contentious, with Senate Democrats opposing his views on federal spending, impoundment practices, and his role in Project 2025. Despite Democratic boycotts, Senate committees advanced his nomination in January 2025[2][6][8].
