New training from a Texas regulator about when doctors can legally terminate a pregnancy comes nearly five years after the state passed its abortion ban in 2021.

Experts contend the guidance can’t capture all complications that arise in pregnancy.

After Years of Silence, Texas Medical Board Issues Training for Doctors on How to Legally Provide Abortions

The course includes examples of when abortion is permitted to protect the life of the patient, but many experts say the complications women face in pregnancy are impossible to capture in a brief presentation.

This death by a thousand cuts - deep cuts - is how the administration is halting innovation for better health and new cures in America.

Work in Brugge’s lab slowed significantly last year. In April, her $7 million grant from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health was frozen, along with virtually all other federal money awarded to Harvard researchers.

The Trump administration said it was withholding the funds over the university’s handling of antisemitism on campus.

Some of Brugge’s lab staff lost federal fellowships that funded their work. Brugge told others funded through the NIH grant that she couldn’t guarantee their salaries. In all, Brugge lost seven of her 18 lab employees.

In September, the funding for the NIH grant was restored. But in the intervening months, the Trump administration said Brugge and other Harvard researchers needn’t bother applying for the next round of multiyear grants.

A federal judge lifted that ban, but Brugge had missed the deadline to apply for renewal. So her current funding will end in August.

Brugge scrambled to secure private funding from foundations and philanthropists. She was then able to reinstate two positions for at least a year — but job applicants are wary. — Work in Brugge’s lab slowed significantly last year.

We recognize how their struggle inspired and laid the groundwork for movements advancing the rights of women, #immigrants, and all marginalized communities.

📚During these challenging times of banning #books and whitewashing history, we need educate ourselves and reflect on the truth that our destinies are connected, and progress for one #community strengthens us all.

A teacher called over a dozen therapists to find mental health care following a miscarriage.

An EMT spent months looking for one after a suicide attempt.

They couldn’t find any in-network provider able to see them. Now they're suing their insurer.

They Couldn’t Access Mental Health Care When They Needed It. Now They’re Suing Their Insurer.

A new lawsuit alleges that an insurer’s ghost network hindered New York City employees from accessing the mental health care they sought — and harmed the reputation of psychiatrists wrongly listed as being in-network.

THE MEANS-TESTING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SANP last year, Equifax's CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation. Means-testing and administrative complexity have turned America's safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors, underscoring the need for public data infrastructure and simpler eligibility rules. — THE MEANS-TESTING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SANP last year, Equifax's CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.
