Dr. Marty McCary, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, resigned on Tuesday after weeks of pressure and rumors that President Trump was planning to fire him.

Dr. McCary ultimately left over concerns about the administration's decision to authorize fruit-flavored e-cigarettes, which he opposed, according to people familiar with the matter.

And...

Kash Patel, the FBI director, sparred with Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland at a budget hearing over his conduct, including whether he ordered polygraphs of FBI employees to find leakers and a report that claimed that he drank excessively in a way that affected his work.

Patel, who has denied the report about excessive drinking and sued the publication, accused Van Hollen of drinking with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an immigrant who the Trump administration mistakenly sent to a prison in El Salvador.

See you tomorrow.

When you're first moving into your home, make sure that you change the batteries in your smoke detector.

Make sure you have towels on hand.

You don't want to end up taking a shower and using a dirty sock to dry off.

Yeah.

Fine, thank you.

What's going on?

Um, I told you we're doing this Mother's Day episode, right?
