1. Planned Parenthood of Arizona has "paused" gender affirming care for transgender adults.

It appears to be a case of massive over compliance. This kind of move could threaten the majority of trans people's medication in the US.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

So many of the countries getting hit hardest by Trump's Folly were lectured for years by the WB, IMF, Washington and others about taking responsibility for their own development through trade, not aid.

Trump just pulled the USAID rug out from under them, then kicked them when they were down.
Much of the past 20 yrs in development has been a shift from aid to trade.

Trump has now killed both.

And development is not just an economic process.

From a human development perspective, the direct effects of the one-two punch of cutting USAID and killing trade are equivalent to kinetic war.

6. The judge ruled the ban relied on unscientific definitions of sex that barred intersex people from bathrooms: “Under the Act, however, transgender people cannot use sex-separated facilities that correspond with their gender identity and intersex people cannot use sex-separated facilities at all.”

4. “The Act fails strict scrutiny because it is motivated by animus and supported by no evidence that its restrictions advance its purported purpose to protect women’s safety and privacy," said the judge.

1. Incredible news for trans people in Montana.

A Montana judge has temporarily blocked the state's bathroom ban targeting trans adults in airports, colleges, and more.

He ruled that the state showed no evidence bathroom bans protect women.

Gavi acknowledges that the PCV rollout has room to improve, but the impact is huge: 1.2 million children's lives were saved by preventing pneumonia through the rollout of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in low-income countries from 2009-2023. Under-5 deaths from pneumonia were almost cut in half.

PCV was introduced in high income countries years earlier: this is the fatal divide in access to medicines that we speak of, and that the world shouldn't tolerate but does. In Canada, pneumococcal vaccination is part of the routine immunization schedule for kids and older adults. It saves lives.

The US is cutting its funding for Gavi, an organization that has undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of children by scaling up vaccine access and introducing new vaccines to routine immunization programs. This cut will put millions of kids' lives, and global public health, at risk.
