The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rootedย in data and health.

Supreme Court seems skeptical about state bans on 'conversion therapy' for LBGTQ+ kids A majority of Supreme Court justices seem to be leaning in favor of a Christian counselor who is challenging bans on LGBTQ+ โ€œconversion therapyโ€ for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights.

โ€œStates canโ€™t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They canโ€™t regulate โ€˜crisis pregnancy centersโ€™ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say weโ€™re just doing politics youโ€™re responsible for political violence.โ€

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.
