SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

51 so ... "nice." Nice point one, to be precise.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

More simply put, this means gender-affirming care providers nationwide will continue to receive federal funding, pending further litigation. It's great news.
BREAKING: Federal judge issues a nationwide preliminary injunction against the medical provider funding prohibitions in Trump's EO seeking to restrict gender-affirming medical care for those under 19 and the "gender ideology" funding restriction in his Jan. 20 "sex"-defining EO.
