"A Houston-area parent is suing state officials, accusing them of religious discrimination for barring Islamic schools from participating in Texas’ private school voucher program.

The plaintiff, Mehdi Cherkaoui, alleges the state has 'systematically targeted Islamic schools for exclusion' from the $1 billion tuition support program, preventing Muslim families from applying and using the state money at a school of their choice."

"Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and drawing paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to Hinojosa and three other former detainees, along with lawyers and advocates in contact with the families inside.

Guards have taken artwork, too, they said — even one child’s drawing of Bratz fashion dolls."

“You wouldn’t promote someone to general without them meeting basic military standards. And so, you have to ask the question: Why should we lower the bar for public health?” he told NPR’s A Martínez.

“Every Surgeon General in history has carried an active medical license and has finished residency. Dr. Means will be the first one without either, so, to me, that’s not progress. It’s unprecedented risk to credibility,” the former top doctor added.

"Scientists have just found a direct link between air pollution and Alzheimer’s disease—suggesting that improving air quality could be an important way to prevent dementia and protect older adults.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, which affects about 57 million people worldwide, and there is currently no cure for it, making prevention is crucial."

"...it should surprise no one that much of this work is being led by women. They come from all backgrounds and walks of life—immigrant women, mothers, teachers, healers, Black and Brown women, queer and trans women, grandmothers, young girls, women of faith, women who are simply fed up—to get involved, organize, support, nurture, fight, love, protect, and contribute in whatever ways they can."

"The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. The decision was made over urgent objections from the administration’s own health and child welfare officials, who say both the facility and the region lack the specialized care the girls need."

"Hospitals and insurers regularly renegotiate rates, but those discussions are usually handled behind closed doors and are typically resolved before patients feel an impact.

But in recent years, many negotiations have become more fraught, often spilling out into public view as both sides put out statements defending their position. When that happens, it’s usually a bad sign for patients."
