Attorneys general like Maura Healey in Massachusetts plan to protect transgender rights no matter what the Trump administration does in changing gender definitions to erode those rights. 

“No matter what happens on the federal level, we have strong laws in Massachusetts that protect transgender people from discrimination and guarantee equal rights. That’s why it is so important to keep these laws in place to ensure that everyone is treated with fairness, dignity, and respect,” Healey said after a New York Times report on a move by the Trump administration to erase civil rights protections for transgender people by narrowly defining gender identity to what was assigned at birth.

Healey is no stranger to anti-trans efforts in her home state, where Question 3 on the November ballot would repeal transgender legal protections passed in July 2016 that prohibits discrimination in public places based on gender identity.

Healey worked with advocates to secure support for the transgender public accommodations bill, and considered its passage “a huge victory for civil rights and for our transgender friends, family and neighbors,” according to a statement.

Last year, she led a multi-state court brief opposing the Trump administration’s effort to ban transgender people from military service.

In Vermont, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Christine Hallquist denounced this latest move by the Trump administration as “disheartening.”

“Eroding Title IX protections for transgender people will precipitate a dangerous rollback of civil rights and put already marginalized people at further risk. The Trump administration’s proposed decision flies in the face of science, common sense, and basic human decency,” she said in an email to Rewire.News.

Hallquist, the first openly transgender candidate for governor to be nominated by a major party, said today that the memo created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) targeting the transgender community “must be protested at every step of the way.”

“The American people overwhelmingly oppose the cruelty of this administration and we must make our voices heard at every opportunity. We need to win in November and take power away from those who abuse it,” she said. “And, as always, we must take care of each other and protect marginalized people in our communities.”

California has been proactive on LGBTQ rights, with Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signing 12 pro-LGBTQ measures this year, according to the Bay Area Reporter. This includes a law allowing foster children as young as 12 to receive taxpayer-funded gender-affirming treatments and services without parental consent.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said he plans to “continue to protect those who may face discrimination because of their gender identity.”

“We have a Constitution, both federally and also in our state, that protects people’s rights and their freedoms. We certainly intend to continue to enforce those protections that people have,” Becerra said in a statement. “I’m not sure what President Trump is planning to do, but certainly, I do not think that in this country we are looking to try to reopen doors to discrimination against people who have a history of having faced that type of animus.”

The Trump memo could have dire consequences for transgender people and their families by denying them coverage for health care or insurance, advocates said, but it applies only to federal anti-discrimination law.

“It’s all the more important for states to be picking up the slack and ensure that trans people are fully protected by state law,” said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney with the LGBT & HIV Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

States can follow the lead of states like Massachusetts, New York, and California to pass comprehensive civil rights protections in education, public accommodation, health care, and employment. “Having those laws on the books and having vigorous enforcement mechanisms are I think exactly the types of stuff the federal government should also be doing but hasn’t been doing under this administration,” Block said.

The latest attack on trans rights is another reason for states to strongly defend their transgender residents against a hostile administration, said Kasey Suffredini, president of strategy at Freedom for All Americans and co-chair of Yes on 3 in Massachusetts. Suffredini said “this is not a red or blue issue, but a human issue. Our Commonwealth and country have now reached a fork in the road, and when Massachusetts votes Yes on 3 to continue treating each other with dignity and respect, we will show the country the path forward is love, not fear.”

Even so, the new effort to restrict existing civil rights laws was a shock for the trans community to wake up to, said Chase Strangio, senior staff attorney with the ACLU during a press call today.

“This isn’t about erasing trans people from existence because that is impossible, we do exist,” he said.

“Lots can be done in the states, whether by governments or private litigants. The more we pay attention to what is going on in states, more we will see things happening even in states where we haven’t see mobilization,” he said.

He decided to go vegan in a bid to ditch the pounds as he approaches his 60th birthday in a few months' time.

Slimline Simon Cowell has rolled back the years to make sure he'll be looking trim and back to his best for his big bash as filming for Britain's Got Talent: The Champions got underway.

The show will see former winners, finalists and viewers' favourites compete for the BGT Champion of Champions title - and there will be a blast from the past in the judges' chairs, too.

Simon, who used to average 11.5st ten years ago, flaunted his weight loss after already shifting 1.5st since ditching dairy and meat.

He revealed that his decision was down to a scare which saw him hospitalised in 2017 due to low blood pressure .

Simon recently told Extra : “I went to see this guy who’s very well-known.

"He said to me, after doing some blood work, ‘You can’t have red meat, dairy, sugar, bread or gluten.’”

Then he told The Sun: "Within 24 hours I changed my diet and I’ve not looked back since. You feel better, you look better.

“It was way easier than you may think. Like, I used to have yoghurt in the morning and I changed it to almond-milk yoghurts. I have almond milk in my tea.

“I can eat certain fruits but not all fruits. You have to be careful because some fruit can have more sugar than a can of Coke.

"Once you get into a pattern I’ve found it quite enjoyable. It has helped me sleep and I wake up feeling less tired. I noticed a massive difference in how I felt in about a week.

“I have more energy and focus and it wasn’t difficult. I don’t like to use the word diet because that’s the reason I never went on a diet before — the word diet makes me miserable.”

Simon was notably slimmer as BGT filming started - but the same couldn't be said of Alesha Dixon !

She announced her pregnancy in May during the first live BGT semi-final show.

The star is expecting her second child with husband Azuka Onoye, a former backing dancer and looked fantastic.

The couple are already parents to daughter Azura Sienna, who was born in October 2013.

The Trump administration is beginning rollbacks of Obama-era initiatives for healthier school lunches, giving the dairy industry a bigger presence in U.S. cafeterias. That could mean more fat, sugar and salt in children's diets, according to a new in-depth report by Bloomberg Businessweek.

The Obama administration's policies, accompanied by Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign, pushed for more fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, lower sodium levels and fat-free chocolate milk.

The School Nutrition Association, with 58,000 members, at first praised the law, Bloomberg reports. But when it was implemented in 2012, many kids weren't happy with the smaller servings and more health-conscious menus.

One consequence was lower sales of milk between 2011 and 2015.

"People are drinking a lot less milk. The dairy industry today is really struggling," Lydia Mulvany, a food and agriculture reporter who co-authored the Bloomberg report, told CBSN Friday. "A lot of farmers are not making a profit. Milk prices are really low, so its a hard time for the dairy industry."

But now the Trump administration wants to bring the dairy industry back to the table.

The dairy industry "says children don't drink as much milk if it's not flavored, and they really like that extra fat, the taste of it," said Mulvany.

Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, who was once a consultant to milk producers, announced early on a relaxation of the rules. Higher-fat chocolate milk was back, along with more white breads and pizza.

"I wouldn't be as big as I am today without chocolate milk," Perdue told reporters at the time.

Menu revisions began rolling out within months, and the Agriculture Department finalized the rules in December.

The changes are considered a victory for food companies that count on schools as a steady source of revenue and an opportunity to shape the buying habits of future consumers.

Here’s some background information about Ebola, a virus with a high fatality rate that was first identified in Africa in 1976.

Facts:
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a disease caused by one of five different Ebola viruses. Four of the strains can cause severe illness in humans and animals. The fifth, Reston virus, has caused illness in some animals, but not in humans.

The first human outbreaks occurred in 1976, one in northern Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) in central Africa: and the other, in southern Sudan (now South Sudan). The virus is named after the Ebola River, where the virus was first recognized in 1976, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Ebola is extremely infectious but not extremely contagious. It is infectious, because an infinitesimally small amount can cause illness. Laboratory experiments on nonhuman primates suggest that even a single virus may be enough to trigger a fatal infection.

Ebola could be considered moderately contagious because the virus is not transmitted through the air.

Humans can be infected by other humans if they come in contact with body fluids from an infected person or contaminated objects from infected persons. Humans can also be exposed to the virus, for example, by butchering infected animals.

While the exact reservoir of Ebola viruses is still unknown, researchers believe the most likely natural hosts are fruit bats.

Symptoms of Ebola typically include: weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Additional experiences include rash, red eyes, chest pain, throat soreness, difficulty breathing or swallowing and bleeding (including internal).

Typically, symptoms appear eight to 10 days after exposure to the virus, but the incubation period can span two to 21 days.

Unprotected health care workers are susceptible to infection because of their close contact with patients during treatment.

Ebola is not transmissible if someone is asymptomatic and usually not after someone has recovered from it. However, the virus has been found in semen for up to three months, and “possibly” is transmitted from contact with that semen, according to the CDC.

Deadly human Ebola outbreaks have been confirmed in the following countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Gabon, South Sudan, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Republic of the Congo (ROC), Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

There are five subspecies of the Ebola virus: Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV), Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV), Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV) and Reston ebolavirus (RESTV).

You will end up only using half of the whipepd coconut cream. Put the rest on something to make it extra delicious!

Coffee is one of the hardest things to get people to give up when trying out a healthy diet. It’s not something we recommend on the Hallelujah diet. Coffee is very stimulating, and some of the additives used for processing it are just not healthy, especially the flavors and preservatives. This is why coffee substitutes are so sought-after. Many commercially available herbal coffees taste awesome and are healthy for you. We have a great one here on our website that’s both healthy and nutritious.

You have to realize that herbal coffees are not coffee. They will not taste exactly the same, and they will not give you a sudden boost. They often tend to be bitter, mimicking coffee, and they may give you longer-lasting energy. Most of them are far more nutritious and provide detox potential. Herbal coffees are not tea. Most of them do not contain the tea leaf (Camellia sinensis) or any caffeine.

These coffee substitutes are technically decoctions of roasted roots of different herbs. Most of the herbs used are burdock, dandelion, and chicory. Some places will also add ashwagandha and maca, along with cinnamon, carob, and vanilla. As you get further into the herbal blends, things like orange peel, hibiscus, and cardamom are added for more vibrant flavors. You have the option of purchasing many of these herbs at local natural food stores or from quality providers online and roasting and grinding them yourself. All of these herbal coffees are much healthier than traditional coffee. Depending on the type of herbs you use, the results will vary. Let’s look at some of the top nutritional benefits of herbal coffee.

Coffee has some health properties, but not nearly as many as herbal coffees. It’s not just vitamins and minerals that they pack, but the antioxidant potential is also sky-high. Chicory is unusually high in beta-carotene, a vitamin A precursor. Just one tablespoon of chicory root can provide 10% of your vitamin A for the day. It also contains a significant amount of manganese, B6, potassium, vitamin C, phosphorus, and folate.

Chicory is an excellent source of inulin fiber that helps clear out the digestive system and helps us to absorb nutrients. It helps reduce insulin resistance in people with prediabetes and diabetes. Chicory is awesome, and it is especially useful for helping to relieve inflammation.

Chicory is one of the primary components of herbal coffees because it’s very similar in taste to the coffee bean. During the Civil War, chicory coffee became the primary drink in the South as tea and coffee supplies were cut off. Dandelion root, another popular coffee substitute, is high in fiber and all of the vitamins, plus iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It’s also rich in inulin. It has one of the highest antioxidant potentials of the roots.

Dandelion is especially good at detoxing the liver. By helping to clear out the liver, it also helps control blood sugar and reduce inflammation. What surprises many researchers is dandelion’s ability to reduce heart disease derived from cholesterol, and how it leads to blood pressure reduction. Dandelion is a mild diuretic and can help reduce excess fluid in the body. However, unlike most other diuretics, it does not reduce levels of potassium in the body, making it much safer to use.

Burdock is a favorite food, especially overseas in Japan. Growing a plant with huge roots is effortless, and it cooks up tender. Burdock contains inulin and mucilage that help soothe the digestive system and help digest food so you can absorb nutrients better. It is one of the most perfect roots for electrolyte balance, as burdock contains 6.5% of our daily recommended amount of potassium per 100g, a typical amount used in herbal coffees. It contains trace amounts of nearly every vitamin and mineral we know of, plus an insanely high amount of antioxidants.

It’s especially good for cleaning the blood. It helps expel toxins, excess fluid, and congestion from our bodies. When you put all this together, you get a natural health drink that helps boost energy without over-stimulating our senses. It works naturally by providing nutrients our bodies can use. People don’t experience the stimulation and the later crash that come from drinking coffee.

Furthermore, herbal coffees support the natural probiotics within our gut. Caffeine is a harsh chemical that can cause problems in the gut. It’s high in acid and can cause reflux and indigestion. However, herbal coffee soothes the digestive system and promotes good gut health.

Herbal coffees are a distinctive change from your regular coffee bean. However, they are healthier and better for you. They can provide nutrition and energy that you just can’t get from a regular cup of coffee. When part of a healthy diet, you can enjoy this herbal coffee without feeling guilty or experiencing any of the issues that come from regular coffee.
