This weekend, it was announced that another top Trump official will make his departure ahead of this week's funding showdown, "SNL" star Pete Davidson shocked fans with a disturbing Instagram post, and the tech world was rocked by the death of HQ Trivia cofounder Colin Kroll.

In his resignation letter, Zinke said "vicious and politically motivated attacks" against him had "created an unfortunate distraction" in fulfilling the agency's mission.
Trump said in his announcement he would announce Zinke's replacement next week. Here are the top contenders.
