[Insert: Trump said he would govern for all Americans... ]
On the day of the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the HHS set up ReproductiveRights.gov. The site provided resources on reproductive rights and access to healthcare. It included information for patients and providers, information about family planning services and guidance on how to file a patient privacy or nondiscrimination complaint with the Office of Civil Rights.
As of Tuesday morning, that website no longer exists, suggesting the Trump administration will take a different stance than its predecessor on legal battles and other issues pertaining to women's reproductive health.
The Department of Justice also launched a similar webpage of resources, including on its work to protect reproductive rights under federal law. That page is still live. Its resource booklet for providers is also still live.

However, most experts agree .. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/paris-global-climate-change-agreements .. that the members’ pledges are not enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. That said, if all members follow through with their net-zero targets, warming could be limited to 1.8°C.
“Walking away from the Paris Agreement won’t protect Americans from climate impacts, but it will hand China and the European Union a competitive edge in the booming clean energy economy and lead to fewer opportunities for American workers,” Ani Dasgupta, president and CEO of the World Resources Institute, said in a statement .. https://www.wri.org/statement-paris-agreement-withdrawal-erodes-americas-standing-world .

Health investment firm Rubicon Founders principal Abe Sutton is expected to be tasked as CMS Innovation Center head, and former Collective Medical CEO Chris Klomp will be named president of the Center of Medicare, reported multiple media outlets.

* “Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act” and “Continuing To Strengthen Americans' Access to Affordable, Quality Health Coverage” broadly instructed agency heads to review their existing policies for any practices that would reduce Affordable Care Act protections, coverage and enrollment. The latter order expanded those goals to address program costs, protections against "low-quality coverage" and medical debt burden reduction, among other goals.
* "Organizing and Mobilizing the United States Government To Provide a Unified and Effective Response To Combat COVID-19 and To Provide United States Leadership on Global Health and Security," "Ensuring an Equitable Pandemic Response and Recovery," "Improving and Expanding Access to Care and Treatments for COVID-19," "Establishing the COVID-19 Pandemic Testing Board and Ensuring a Sustainable Public Health Workforce for COVID-19 and Other Biological Threats," "Protecting Worker Health and Safety," "Moving Beyond COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for Federal Workers"—a slew of executive orders guiding strategies and policies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many sections within the orders, such as those related to workforce vaccination requirements, had effectively run their course. Others instructed federal agencies to enact policies providing lasting support for provider organizations caring for those affected by the disease, supporting development of new COVID-19 therapeutics or supporting other clinical research studying the long-term impact of COVID-19 on patients' health.
