I spoke with several CDC workers cut from the highly-specialized Division of Reproductive Health that monitored IVF & tracked maternal/infant health. "Health will likely get worse & you may not even know it. We won’t see the effects until it’s too late.”

The departments were eliminated despite Trump's proclamations that he is the "father of IVF."

The Washington Post has been an incredible place to work for the last six years. The newsroom felt more like a home than an office to me. That's because of my colleagues: dedicated, fearless reporters and wonderful friends.

I'm excited to start later this month as a reporter at the New York Times. After many years covering abortion, I'll be taking on a new beat — on the American family, and how the Trump/Vance administration will try to shape it. https://t.co/ZG0KzqDLvP

NEW: I wrote about Dr. Maggie Carpenter, the New York abortion provider who is facing criminal charges in Louisiana and a $100,000 penalty (with interest) in Texas. It's part of an evolving "states' rights" strategy to restrict abortion nationwide https://t.co/afS1gYj6bI

.@peterwallsten is one of America's best editors. We were thrown together for what was supposed to be a 1-month interim period: The senior politics editor and the abortion reporter. I can't believe I was lucky enough to work with him for the last 3 years. https://t.co/Zu3QItpKog

In little more than a week, we have seen in vivid ways the determination of the new administration to upend policy and reshape the government. We are deeply engaged in explaining the extensive reach…

When a Post reporter called Nest Seekers to ask if the property had been leased, and if the figures that appeared on Zillow were accurate, the person who answered the phone said, “Do yourself a favor and jump in the lake,” followed by an expletive.

The reason why you know about this in the first place is because of the late night and early morning work of reporters at @washingtonpost

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.
Of course, the White House press corps will be all over Trump for this lawless removal of inspectors general. Hahahaha

“The titans who gathered to salute Trump control large stretches of modern life. They help decide how Americans shop (in the case of Bezos) and how they organize the world … they help decide how they talk to each other and which voices are elevated.” https://t.co/4j1IUXgcbE

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other billionaires were given pride of place behind Trump as he was sworn in as the 47th president.

Also: Texas’ largest antiabortion group will soon launch an advertising campaign on Facebook and X to surface male partners of women who had abortions in the state, with the goal of recruiting them to sue those who assisted in the abortion.
