Public health experts are questioning the U.S. government's response to the hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship that involves Americans. President Donald Trump says “we seem to have things under very good control.” But experts and former government health officials say the response by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been feeble compared with how it dealt with similar outbreaks in the past. They say the CDC’s diminished role in the hantavirus outbreak is an indicator that the agency is no longer the force in international health or the protector of domestic health that it once was.

Hungary's Péter Magyar has taken his oath of office to become the country's new prime minister, ending Viktor Orbán’s autocratic 16-year rule. Magyar's center-right Tisza party defeated Orbán’s nationalist-populist Fidesz in a landslide win last month. On Saturday, Magyar entered Parliament with 140 other Tisza representatives, controlling 141 of 199 seats. Orbán’s coalition now holds 52 seats. Magyar, a former Orbán insider, has vowed to tackle corruption and unlock frozen European Union funds to boost Hungary’s economy. He promises to repair ties with the EU and restore Hungary’s place among Western democracies.

President Donald Trump's Religious Liberty Commission is preparing to make recommendations after more than a year of hearings. Commissioners have spoken about their wish lists for what they want to see in the report. They reflect the perspectives of the commissioner's largely conservative evangelical and Catholic membership. One idea is to increase avenues for religious expression in public schools and other public settings. Another is making public money more available to religious organizations. And there's a push for allowing for religious-based exemptions from regulations and classroom lessons. The commissioner's chair has repeatedly said "there is no separation of church and state.”

A new congressional map in Tennessee splits the majority-Black city of Memphis into three districts. The move by the Republican-controlled legislature follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that weakened parts of the landmark Voting Rights Act. And it may serve as an early example of how states may eliminate long-required majority-minority districts before the November elections. Republican-led states across the South are now taking steps to eliminate majority-Black districts. Memphis residents are concerned about being divided into new districts that include communities hundreds of miles away from their neighbors and about what it may mean for their representation in national politics.
