BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

RFK Jr. wants every HHS employee to feel inspired… as he fires 10,000 more of their coworkers. These workers monitored infectious diseases, set standards for food and medication, and oversaw health insurance programs. Cuts to HHS won’t lower costs. People will pay with their lives.
