The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data.

Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.
We're suing over the free rein Donald Trump gave Elon Musk and DOGE to access Americans’ private information.

Musk and DOGE want to use this information to cut vital services that Americans rely on — from health care to education.

This is unacceptable and illegal.

How is banning these observances not a flagrant violation of free speech? Why are government agencies complying?

Just released memorandum from OPM:

Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.

It will go into effect on the 31st.

It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.

This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

Folks who take probiotics before traveling: which ones have worked for you, and how long before travel did you start taking them?
