Summary

This week on Face the Nation, the president's mission to shrink the federal workforce intensifies, and his foreign policy dealmaking hits a critical juncture. Late Friday, the purge of the federal workforce struck the Pentagon at the top, during a critical moment for our national security, as the new administration seeks peace talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine and as a fragile truce between Israel and Hamas hangs in the balance. We spoke with Trump's top negotiator and envoy, Steve Witkoff. Meanwhile here at home, the president takes aim at Democratic governors who oppose his agenda. We asked New York Governor Kathy Hochul how she's picking her battles with the new administration. Lawmakers are facing some heat from their voters over Trump's push to slash the federal workforce -- led by Elon Musk. Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen and Utah Republican John Curtis discuss the impacts on their constituents. Finally, with bird flu, measles and other illnesses on the rise -- and big changes ahead for America's public health agencies, we'll get a reality check from former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb.
