Calley Means, a key adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has resigned from the Trump administration amid reported White House delays in implementing major food policy reforms. A prominent figure in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, Means helped advance efforts to eliminate synthetic food dyes, tighten oversight of chemical additives, and restrict soda and candy purchases through federal food assistance programs. His departure follows delays to proposals requiring food manufacturers to demonstrate the safety of certain ingredients in ultra-processed foods, alongside postponed guidance on defining these products. Kennedy and the White House praised Means’ contributions, while the administration has disputed claims that its food reform agenda has stalled. His resignation follows several other departures and leadership changes involving MAHA-aligned officials.

California
California's early education reforms have shown significant academic benefits, with children scoring 11 months ahead in reading and eight months ahead in math by third and fourth grades. The study, conducted by UC Berkeley researchers and commissioned by Stanford University, highlights the positive impact of transitional kindergarten (TK) on low-income children. Rucker Johnson, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley and co-author of the study, emphasized the importance of these early investments, stating: “We call it finding the lost Einsteins.” The findings suggest that TK can help close the achievement gap between children from different socioeconomic backgrounds. As California expands its TK program, the challenge remains to maintain quality and recruit well-trained teachers to support this initiative.

Texas
Texas Comptroller Don Huffines, known for advocating open government, has faced criticism for withholding details about the state's $1bn school voucher program. Despite public information requests, his office has not disclosed how state funds are allocated to private schools and vendors, citing concerns over student privacy. "Comptroller Huffines will protect the confidential information of participating children and their families," said spokesperson Jeff Norwood. This lack of transparency contrasts with practices in other states, where detailed spending data is routinely shared. Democratic opponent Sarah Eckhardt has called for an audit, emphasizing the need for "transparency and honesty" regarding the program's impact on educational outcomes. Critics, including Carrie Griffith from Our Schools Our Democracy, argue that Texans deserve to know how taxpayer dollars are spent, stating, "There's no excuse for the failure to provide answers on who's profiting from the billion dollars."
