A couple of noteworthy news/updates today...

The U.S. will protect gay and transgender people against sex discrimination in health care, the Biden administration announced Monday, reversing a Trump-era policy that sought to narrow the scope of legal rights in sensitive situations involving medical care.

The action by the Department of Health and Human Services affirms that federal laws forbidding sex discrimination in health care also protect gay and transgender people. The Trump administration had defined “sex” to mean gender assigned at birth, thereby excluding transgender people from the law’s umbrella of protection.

And an article with updates on “possible bipartisan legislation” such a infrastructure, police reform, China, voting rights, etc

ANOTHER wild development in this already wild week 

I would love to see it but if it’s mostly former government officials, I don’t know that it will make any impact

It really is but this only strengthens Republicans for the time being. They’re only concerned with the short-term impacts they’ll make and it’s extremely sad. I think with a more unified leadership in the House, they’re more likely to achieve a majority in the midterms.

I think Mitt Romney said it pretty well....

tell me how this helps them gain votes? They already struggled with college educated voters and suburban woman, you think this helps? I certainly don’t....I think they seriously risk alienating a portion of their voters...sure the leadership is united but how united are their voters..that is yet to be seen but we saw those cracks in the 2020 election.

Republicans like to make a lot of noise and then fall in line when it really matters but we’ll see

With a more unified House GOP that is overwhelmingly behind Trump, they’ll be able to stick to one concrete message and get Trump voters out to vote if they were on the sidelines before. You can’t deny the fact that Trump is the reason turnout for Republicans in 2020 was so high (hence why Republicans gained seats in the House) and why low Republican turnout in Georgia cost them both Senate seats due to Trump saying the election was rigged. The voters love him and if they see that the House GOP also loves him then they’ll get out to vote for them.

Who is the going to be alienated that hasn’t already been alienated? At this point I think most voters are already set in stone. Also, I don’t think voters will care much about this Cheney thing at all. It’s going to be forgotten by the midterms.

 

I think it’s important to note that since the election when he lost GA, AZ, WI, PN, MI he has tried to overthrow democracy and now all this going on with House leadership...tbh we don’t know HOW MANY VOTERS they’ve potentially lost since November...2022 will be really interesting 

edit: you do make good points though, I agree with a lot of them honestly

Day 112 - 1 Executive Order Signed by President Biden

Cybersecurity 

President Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order aimed at improving federal cybersecurity, with the order coming on the heels of multiple major and damaging cyberattacks including the one on the Colonial Pipeline.

The executive order, which has been in the works since early in the Biden administration, is meant to serve as an example to the private sector of the federal government taking the lead on strengthening cybersecurity.

The executive order requires the establishment of baseline cybersecurity standards for all software sold to the federal government, and that all software used by the government meet these standards within nine months. Software developers doing business with the government are required to make their security data publicly available. 

In addition, it mandates the deployment of the use of encryption and multifactor authentication by the federal government in what the official described as "tight" timelines, with agencies required to get a waiver from the National Security Council if encryption is not fully implemented in six months. 

It establishes a government-wide endpoint detection and response system to help federal agencies share cyber threat information, and will create a standardized "playbook" for how agencies should immediately respond to future cyber breaches. The executive order requires IT providers who do business with the federal government to report data breaches.

multifactor authentication

Surprised they aren’t already doing this. I have to use two-factor authentication at my job, but I’m sure additional layers can get complex

Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers will just lie and say they’re vaccinated.

No they’re going to start wearing masks now to protect themselves from the vaccinated people

Lol I mean will you stop wearing a mask now? I personally won’t when I’m fully vaccinated just for safe measure. At least until more people get vaccinated. Plus this wouldn’t be at all enforceable so I don’t get why they’re putting this out. Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers will just lie and say they’re vaccinated.

Yeah I mean I might still wear one like going out to the grocery store but tbh Maine has one of the best vaccination rates in the country, especially Southern Maine which is very Democratic.

I still think this is a good thing, we need people to see that getting vaccinated means you can safely do a lot more. It’s important for people to see that. But yes sadly people will lie, that’s inevitable I think :/ 

I am grateful that I live in a state with such a high vaccinated population though....

what a crazy f-ing lunatic @Starboy

[NotDoctor PronounsHe/they]

I’m seeing stories from friends about full a** adults temper tantruming in stores when asked to wear masks because of the new CDC recommendations.  Even saw someone say that men are starting to harass her in public to “show that smile” and take off the mask. I just hate people so much
