WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is facing a new legal complaint from a group of government employees who are affected by a new policy going into effect Thursday that eliminates coverage for gender-affirming care in federal health insurance programs.
The complaint, filed Thursday on the employees’ behalf by the Human Rights Campaign, is in response to an August announcement from the Office of Personnel Management that it would no longer cover "chemical and surgical modification of an individual’s sex traits through medical interventions" in health insurance programs for federal employees and U.S. Postal Service workers.
The complaint argues that denying coverage of gender-affirming care is sex-based discrimination and asks the personnel office to rescind the policy.
"This policy is not about cost or care — it is about driving transgender people and people with transgender spouses, children, and dependents out of the federal workforce," Human Rights Campaign Foundation President Kelley Robinson said in a statement announcing the move.

Can I sue for the government to provide me a hot Ukrainian wife? That would be sex affirming care for me until she is naturalized.

No, it is about getting the best people to do their fucking job. Not be a megaphone and support for your "lifestyle".

[Regnum] The first noticeable magnetic storm of 2026 could begin as early as the night of January 3. The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported this on its Telegram channel.
According to the report, a strong M7.1 solar flare occurred on December 31st, accompanied by a mass ejection, partially directed toward Earth. Scientists predict this ejection will trigger the first significant magnetic storm of the year on the night of January 2nd–3rd. Its intensity is predicted to be up to G2 (a moderate event), with a roughly 30% chance of a strong storm of G3 or higher.
The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences also clarified that, overall, the geomagnetic forecast for the New Year holidays is currently quite favorable.

[Fox] Kelly Loeffler says agency identified widespread suspected fraud in COVID-era loans
The Small Business Administration (SBA) announced Thursday that it suspended 6,900 Minnesota borrowers after uncovering what it says is widespread suspected fraud.
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said the agency reviewed thousands of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) loans approved in Minnesota, and identified nearly $400 million in potentially fraudulent loans tied to borrowers in Minnesota.
"These individuals will be banned from all SBA loan programs, including disaster loans, going forward," Loeffler wrote on X.
Loeffler said the agency will refer appropriate cases to federal law enforcement for prosecution and repayment.
"After years, the American people will finally begin to see the criminals who stole from law-abiding taxpayers held accountable — and this is just the first state," she stated.
The suspected fraudulent activity included 7,900 PPP and EIDL loans approved during the COVID-19 pandemic, Loeffler said.
The announcement comes as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his administration face scrutiny over billions of dollars in social services fraud.
Loeffler sent a letter Tuesday to Walz on Dec. 23, telling him that her agency will "halt" more than $5.5 million in annual support to resource partners in the state "until further notice."
"I am notifying you that effective immediately and until further notice, the SBA is halting the disbursement of federal funds to SBA resource partners operating in the state of Minnesota, totaling over $5.5 million in annual support," Loeffler wrote.
The SBA said that at least $2.5 million in PPP and EIDL funds issued during the pandemic era were connected to a Somali fraud scheme based in Minneapolis.
Loeffler told Walz that $430 million in PPP funds tied to roughly 13,000 loans were flagged as potentially fraudulent but were still funded anyway, including some that were forgiven during the Biden administration.
"The volume and concentration of potential fraud is staggering, matched in its egregiousness only by your response to those who attempted to stop it," she wrote.
[LIFE NEWS] After withholding the data from public view for nearly the entire year, Governor Laura Kelly and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) quietly posted Kansas’ 2024 abortion statistics in the final hours of 2025.
Kansans for Life issued the following statement:
"By waiting until the final hours of the year to release Kansas’ 2024 abortion statistics, Governor Laura Kelly has made it clear she hoped these numbers would go unnoticed. Kansans should ask why such critical public health data was withheld for so long, especially the shocking increase in abortions performed on minor girls.
The continued rise in abortions in Kansas exposes a troubling reality: when informed consent laws and basic safety standards are stripped away, women and girls are left vulnerable to a predatory abortion industry.
Kansans for Life and its statewide membership will be pursuing every legal option to restore some form of informed consent protections for women in 2026 and continue to sound the alarms about parental consent laws being potentially ignored."

Meanwhile, the Trump administration remains silent on the genocide committed by Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J. I'm sure the C Suite pukes at AstraZeneca in the UK are shivering in their boots as well.
