Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) offered to be the "Democrat leading the committee" to campaign for President Donald Trump to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

On Thursday, Fox News host Aishah Hasnie asked Fetterman if he supported a Nobel Prize for Trump after the president announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

"Well, I mean, if this sticks, I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace," the senator replied. "And I'm going to make a direct appeal to the president. You know, I hope he chooses to provide the Tomahawks to the Ukrainians — and give them the tools that they need to push back against the Russia, and if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I'll be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize — peace — for ending both of these terrible wars."

MSNBC and CNBC reported Friday afternoon that President Donald Trump intends to usher in "lay-offs" for "thousands" of federal workers.

The government has been shut down for the past ten days as officials in Washington debate a funding measure. Trump had made the threat previously, but now has reportedly made good on the pledge.

The Office of Management and Budget Director, Russell Vought called the job cuts "substantial."

“The RIFs have begun,” Vought wrote on X. The acronym means “Reductions in Force.”

There have already been significant government funding cuts over the past eight months under the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate "waste, fraud, and abuse" in government.

“We expect thousands of people to unfortunately be laid off due to the government shutdown," MSNBC's Vaughn Hillyard said, citing a senior White House official.
