The break may only be temporary and would give the new DHS secretary time to review policies, Homeland Security officials say.

 

The state and more than 20 others restrict therapists from trying to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of L.G.B.T.Q. clients under the age of 18.

Needless to say, this will seriously scar a whole lot of kids whose homophobic parents force them through this

 

The panel voted to override Endangered Species Act restrictions on oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico, home to critically endangered whales and other imperiled wildlife.

This will have essentially no impact on fuel prices; those are set on global markets, and the US has been a net oil exporter since the early Biden administration.
