7+ min ago (911+ words) By LAURAN NEERGAARD and MIKE STOBBE It's normal for parents, or anyone, to have questions about vaccinations " but what happens if your pediatrician urges a shot that's under attack by the Trump administration? That's getting more likely: The nation's leading doctors groups are in an unprecedented standoff with federal health officials who have attacked long-used, lifesaving vaccines. The revolt by pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians, infectious disease experts and internists came to a head when an advisory panel handpicked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged an end to routine newborn vaccination against hepatitis B, a virus that can cause liver failure or liver cancer. That vaccine saves lives, helped child infections plummet and has been given safely to tens of millions of children in the U.S. alone, say the American Academy of Pediatrics and other doctors groups that vowed Tuesday to…...

11+ min ago (503+ words) Five months after the Trump administration shuttered a suicide and crisis hotline for LGBTQ+ youth, Los Angeles County has launched an effort to try to create its own hotline to fill the void. In July the Trump Administration eliminated the national 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline's "press 3" option, which previously connected LGBTQ+ youth with specially trained counselors. At the time, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which funds the 988 hotline, said it would not "silo LGB+ youth services" but rather focus on serving all who are seeking help. Losing the "press 3" option has been devastating for youth struggling with mental health crises, emotional stress and suicidal ideation, said Janice Hahn, L.A. County's District 4 supervisor whose coverage area spans Rancho Palos Verdes, Lakewood, Vernon and Whittier. Hahn and District 3 Supervisor Lindsey Horvath led an effort to evaluate the impact of losing…...

26+ min ago (1458+ words) In February 2023, Jaime Green, the superintendent of a tiny school district in the mountains of Northern California, flew to Washington, D.C., with an urgent appeal. The Secure Rural Schools Act, a longstanding financial aid program for schools like his in forested counties, was about to lapse, putting thousands of districts at risk of losing significant chunks of their budgets. The law had originated 25 years ago as a temporary fix for rural counties that were losing tax revenue from reduced timber harvesting on public lands. Green, whose Trinity Alps Unified School District serves about 650 students in the struggling logging town of Weaverville, bounded through Capitol Hill with a small group of Northern California educators, pleading with anyone who would listen: Please renew the program. They were assured, over and over, that it had bipartisan support, wasn't much money in the grand scheme…...
