COMMENTING GUIDE: Opposing Two Trump Regime Rules Banning Gender-Affirming Care, Deadline 2/17/26
Creator profile picture
Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer by Matthew Cortland
January 26

Edit



I. Bottom Line Up Front
The Trump Regime's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published two companion proposed rules designed to eliminate access to gender-affirming care for minors nationwide. Together, these rules would:

Ban hospitals from providing this care (CMS-3481-P) โ€” regardless of how the care is paid for

Prohibit Medicaid and CHIP from covering this care (CMS-2451-P) โ€” cutting off funding for lower-income families

You have the opportunity to help defend trans kids by submitting comments against these vile proposed rules. Because even if a state wanted to continue covering gender-affirming care through Medicaid, the hospital rule would prevent hospitals from providing it. The two rules use different regulatory mechanisms to accomplish the same policy goal: eliminating access to gender-affirming care for anyone under 18 (or under 19 for CHIP).

You should submit your comment to both dockets. The deadline is 5PM ET on February 17, 2026.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

Trump Administration to Curtail Immigrant Appeals of Deportation Decisions The changes are part of a new policy that aims to strip immigrants of rights in the legal process.

The Trump administration is attempting to eliminate most opportunities for immigrants with deportation orders to appeal cases, the governmentโ€™s latest step to strip immigrants of due process rights so they can be deported faster. on.wsj.com/4qFE6Sd

Big picture: Unemployment is up half a point over the past year, suggesting that we're falling behind. Not a panic button, but definitely a warning light. Add in falling vacancies, spiking initial claims, and falling quits, and the dashboard is lit like a Christmas tree.

How ICE agents are using facial recognition technology to bring surveillance to the streets Witnesses describe an expansion of biometric surveillance as immigration agents use facial scanning and photography to track targets and bystanders.

Federal immigration agents flooding U.S. streets are using a new surveillance tool kit whose increasing use on observers and bystanders is alarming civil liberties advocates, lawmakers and activists.
