BREAKING NEWS: We’re leading a lawsuit challenging federal attacks on gender-affirming care. Healthcare decisions belong with families & providers, not the government – and the government can't simply use a “declaration” to circumvent basic legal requirements for policy changes. #orpol #breakingnews
AG Rayfield leads lawsuit challenging federal attack on gender-affirming care “By targeting Oregon providers, HHS is putting care at risk and forcing families to choose between their personal health care choices and their doctor’s ability to practice. Healthcare decisions belong with families and their healthcare providers, not the government.” AG Rayfield is leading a coalition of states in suing to ensure HHS cannot simply use a “declaration” to circumvent basic legal requirements for policy changes. The coalition argues that HHS is taking this unlawful action to intimidate providers, and that it will create fear and uncertainty for transgender youth and their families - and reduce access to care, worsen provider shortages, and harm Medicaid patients far beyond those seeking gender-affirming care. In Oregon, gender-affirming care is protected under HB 2002, passed in 2023, which requires health insurance to cover medically necessary treatments, protects both patients and providers from out-of-state legal challenges, and ensures coverage for procedures including surgeries, hormone therapy, and revisions to prior treatments. This law makes clear that Oregon is a place where families can make their own health care decisions, and the state will defend their right to do so.

"If even a fraction of the allegations are true, the U.S. is complicit in sadistic acts that our own laws forbid."

One thing for certain: what the Venezuelans went through at CECOT was horrific. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Forty men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration have shared disturbing accounts of abuse by a regime that America paid to imprison them.

Is this round great? Not really.

Did I miss every putt outside of 10’? Pretty much.

Was it still my best round in weeks? Absolutely.

Actually played pretty decent. Arm a bit sore and could *not* find the putting range, but throwing was mostly solid, esp for recently.

Today in Odesa, Ukraine: blackout, drone attack, no classes this evening, so we're eating mashed potatoes and watching YouTube drama hiding behind two walls in the bathroom.

❄️A developing low pressure system will bring snow to New England Tuesday into Wednesday. Most folks will see 1 to 4 inches, with 6+ inches in coastal Maine. Dusting for Cape Cod.

✈️💥 Ukraine just knocked out two more Russian Su-30s in #Lipetsk with local resistance help—total of five aircraft this week and even generals in #Moscow aren’t safe anymore. The #Kremlin’s losing its own backyard. Share the truth and watch #Putin’s regime crumble.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Nicki Minaj defending pedophiles (her brother) and violent sex offenders (her husband) and showing up for conservatives is such a common pipeline that I can't even be surprised nor appalled.

The stories of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian forces are haunting.

With the passage of my bipartisan bill, we are helping track and reunite these children with their families. We will keep fighting for these kids.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Science took a massive hit this year.

A crippled #NIH =
1. Incomplete studies that could lead to next gen treatments
2. Unfinished clinical trials that put patients' lives at risk
3. Brain drain w/ China as new leader
4. Fewer next gen scientists get trained
