The Trump Administration’s Attempts to Ban Gender Affirming Care for Minors Are Illegal, by Sean M. McBride and Alexander Chen - Yale Journal on Regulation
On December 18th, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a multi-pronged, administrative attack on gender affirming care (GAC) for pediatric patients. The Department’s g...

Exactly!! 1) from a statutory interpretation standpoint, this rule cannot stand. When you look text that confers to HHS the ability to promulgate CoPs, this rule would violate ejusdem generis and the major questions doctrine (which one could view as a canon of construction). Long thread...

1/n In Slaughter, the Chief brings up this question. From a purely textual standpoint, I'm not sure why the answer isn't simply DOD, Veterans Affairs, State, and maybe Homeland Security. Article 2, Section 2 lays out a short list of the explicit powers conferred on the President.

This enables the court to avoid embracing the gov’s arg that universal injunctions can never be issued. And there’s a “how convenient” to this. You know that right-wing judge who keeps issuing nationwide injunctions re: abortion? Well, he’s interpreting a different statute, the APA. Doesn’t apply.

1/n Oral arguments in Consumer Research didn't sound favorable for fans of "public" non-delegation. But with a Congress currently enthrall to the executive, we should want checks on Congress' ability to delegate legislative authority, even if it desires the delegation.

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent. The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Hospitals (or vendors) should configure the EMR so that it limits physician notes to 500 characters. Whatever liability mitigating language you want to drop in should be done so automatically and hidden from view by any MD end-user. Saves input and end user time (=$ and reduces data storage costs.

1/n: I’m no fan of health insurers, but to demonize them and ignore the regulated environment in which they operate is a forest/trees fallacy. Two laws govern the vast majority of health plans onto which Americans enroll: ERISA (self-funded employer plans) and Medicare Part C (for MA enrollees). 🧵
