The Trump administration recently removed essential resources from the CDC's website. As more threats to health and rights loom, the incoming #CDC director must rely on facts, not ideology. Stay informed: gu.tt/40R1hip

This reckless action could impact a huge range of federal programs—including access to affordable birth control—with dire consequences for millions of people. It could also trigger a serious constitutional crisis over the role of the President. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

President Trump has moved to reinstate the harmful Global Gag Rule. The sole purpose of this devastating policy is to export US anti-abortion ideology to the rest of the world. Statement from Guttmacher’s Acting Co-CEO, Destiny Lopez: gu.tt/42haMss

The Trump administration’s move to withdraw from the @who.int threatens global public health and weakens efforts to address critical challenges. This decision, which includes a 1-year notice before full implementation, will diminish the WHO’s ability to fulfill its mission and put lives at risk.

The Trump administration has issued several executive orders aimed at #LGBTQ+ people that pose real dangers, especially for transgender and nonbinary individuals. These policies will not be in effect immediately and will almost certainly be challenged in court.

The global gag rule—a US policy the incoming Trump-Vance administration is expected to revive & potentially expand—disrupts essential health services affecting women in low- & middle-income countries. Here’s what we know from its last implementation under the first Trump presidency: gu.tt/403Rkgj

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Be suspicious of any reporter, commentator, or outlet who claims Skrmetti is limited just to children. If the Supreme Court goes for Tennessee’s reasoning, it could also impact transgender adults and a lot of other medical care.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials. I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds. Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor
