President-elect Trump said he'll nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be Health and Human Services secretary — putting the prominent vaccine skeptic in charge of the FDA, the CDC and almost 25% of the federal budget.

• Why it matters: It's yet another highly controversial nomination. Republicans are still wrapping their minds around Trump's decisions to nominate Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard to lead the intelligence community.

☀️ Context: RFK Jr. has been vocally anti-vaccine. He accused the FDA of "aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma."

• He has said "entire departments" of the FDA "have to go."

Trump promised before the election to let RFK Jr. "go wild" on federal health agencies. Some people close to the president-elect had said that would likely mean an advisory role, but Trump decided to go further.

• Kennedy would need to be confirmed by the Senate — which could be a tough sell, but Republicans will have to pick their battles.

🔓 Common, short passwords are vulnerable to hacking. In six years of analyzing people's habits, NordPass hasn't seen much improvement.

• In addition to using easy-to-crack passwords, researchers found that lots of people use the same or similar passwords at work and in their personal lives — making corporate networks more vulnerable when easily stealable personal passwords get stolen.
