​President Donald Trump's new OPM head says that 'no federal employee should be forced to choose between their faith and their federal service.'

​In his first week as head of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Scott Kupor issued new guidance to executive agency directors cracking down on religious discrimination in the federal workforce.
The memo, obtained by Fox News Digital, encourages the use of telework, flexible schedules and leave options to meet "reasonable" religious needs while maintaining efficient agency operations.
The new guidance instructs the heads and acting heads of executive agencies and departments that they must make certain religious accommodations for workers, such as abstaining from work during specific times or participating in religious observances or practices.

KERR COUNTY, Texas – Volunteers have descended upon Kerr County, Texas, in the days following last weekend’s disastrous flood. 
While many have come to help with searches, cleanup efforts and donations, others are looking to heal the community in a different way. 
Several faith-based groups are working to help survivors and victims’ families lean on God as they grapple with the long road to recovery. 

President Donald Trump on Sunday said that he signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, Texas, after deadly flash floods devastated the region. 
Trump made the announcement in a post on his Truth Social platform, writing that it will “ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.” 
“These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” the president’s post read. “The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!” 
The death toll across Central Texas climbed to nearly 70 on Sunday morning after officials in Kerr County provided an update.
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said 59 people were confirmed dead, while the missing included 11 young girls and one counselor from Camp Mystic along the banks of the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas.
