White House dismisses scores of National Security Council staff
Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council were abruptly dismissed on Friday, as the Trump administration moved to dramatically downsize the coordinating body, according to people familiar with the matter.
The staff sent home included both career officials who were detailed to the NSC as well as some political appointees, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel issue.

Missouri House releases special session schedule
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — The Missouri House of Representatives has announced the schedule for its special session next week in Jefferson City. According to Ben Peters, the director of communications for the House, the special session will begin Monday afternoon and end on Wednesday. The first two sessions are referred to as 'technical sessions,' which means the House is in session but only to advance legislation on the calendar or other matters that do not require a vote. Last week, the Missouri Senate approved Senate Bill 3, which clears the way for stadium financing that could keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in Missouri. It's expected that the House will take up its version of the bill next week.
