Happy Valentine's Day! On this day in 1946, scientists unveiled ENIAC, the world’s first digital, general-purpose computer. It weighed 30 tons and filled a 1,500-square-foot room. (See Video)

Valentine’s Day means different things to different folks—some see it as a “make or break” moment for their relationships, while others think it’s a bit overhyped. But whether you’re planning a special dinner or just having a laugh at animal shelters letting donors name rodents after exes, there’s plenty of love (and humor) to go around.

Have you experienced something sweet, funny, or a little unexpected this Valentine’s Day? We’d love to hear about it—just reply to this email and share your story!

RFK Jr. Sworn In as Health Secretary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in Thursday as President Trump's health secretary after a 52-48 Senate vote and is set to take control of the $1.7 trillion Health and Human Services Department, overseeing vaccine policy, health insurance programs, and food safety.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican to oppose Kennedy, citing Kennedy’s views on vaccines.

In other confirmation news, Kash Patel, the nominee for FBI director, cleared a Senate panel in a party-line vote Thursday, setting up a final confirmation vote next week.

Linda McMahon, the nominee for education secretary, appeared before the Senate for her confirmation hearing Thursday, facing questions from Democrats and outlining plans to reduce the department’s role while preserving major programs.

Bondi Sues New York Over Immigration Laws

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a civil lawsuit against New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder, alleging the state’s Green Light Law obstructs federal immigration enforcement.

The law allows illegal migrants to obtain driver's licenses and restricts federal access to DMV data without a warrant.

Bondi argued the law endangers law enforcement and violates the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, while Hochul dismissed the lawsuit as politically motivated and vowed to defend the state’s policies.

Last week, the U.S. government sued Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County, claiming their sanctuary laws block Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts.
