Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.

When democracy starts slipping, people always ask: What can I actually do? Not the vague, feel-good stuff—real, effective action that has worked before. History has answers, and they’re more practical than you might think.
The revived, newly autism-focused project appears to be part of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s highly controversial plan to seek a cure for autism and, in doing so, to create a database that some have worried will amount to an “autism registry.”
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has decided on a “who cares” approach to America’s public health policy. The vaccine conspiracist announced Tuesday that the Department of Health and Human Services had directed the cancellation of $500 million worth of vaccine projects, including 22 mRNA studies. Doctors reacted in horror to the news, arguing that Kennedy’s decision to nix the vaccine studies would effectively leave America completely defenseless against another pandemic.
A number of employees with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were informed via email late on Tuesday that they have been reassigned, effective immediately, to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The workers had seven days to accept the reassignment, under threat of being removed from the civil service.
lorida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state’s top financial officer appear to want to send a new message for agencies they believe are wasting taxpayer dollars: “F— Around and Find Out.” Of course, they do not want to put it that way. Both the governor and Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia embraced a new name for the state’s Department of Government Efficiency, known more familiarly as DOGE.

Hundreds of AI-powered automated license plate reading cameras paid for by Lowe’s and Home Depot and stationed in the hardware stores’ parking lots are being fed into a massive surveillance system that law enforcement can access, according to records obtained using a public records request.
Republicans argue equal treatment of minority voters is actually discrimination against white voters. Under the Roberts Court, equal protection has become a sword to wield against programs, policies, and laws intended to create an equal system. The lingering Louisiana case now presents the Republican justices an opportunity to hollow out one of the few remaining protections of the VRA, the requirement of minority-majority districts, under this twisted reasoning.
A Trump executive order signed in January repealed Biden-era protections that had barred ICE from entering sensitive locations like schools and churches. Wilson’s stance also clashes with the Florida Department of Education’s pledge to support Trump’s immigration agenda, made shortly after that order was issued. Florida is home to the third-largest undocumented population in the U.S., with an estimated 1.2 million undocumented immigrants — 4.1% of the state’s population. More than 60,000 are of school age.
