Donald Trump hired the father of Jeffrey Epstein's sex slave at Mar-a-Lago
Daily Beast - The Trump administration proposed allowing businesses with federal contracts to discriminate against workers on the basis of sex, race, LGBT status, and other characteristics. The rule, if passed, would be in direct opposition to Donald Trump’s declaration in January 2017 that he would leave the Obama administration’s LGBT protections intact. The 46-page draft made public by the Labor Department would apply to any organization that could prove it serves a religious purpose. The organization need not be a church to qualify, just any organization that can claim it is guided by faith, which could include schools or corporations. “The contractor must be organized for a religious purpose, meaning that it was conceived with a self-identified religious purpose. This need not be the contractor’s only purpose,” the document reads. Labor spokesperson Megan Sweeny told BuzzFeed News the rule could also protect for-profit businesses with federal contracts if they make religious claims.
Time - A new Trump administration abortion rule may cause Planned Parenthood
to be “forced out” of a federal program on Monday that helps to fund
reproductive healthcare care like cancer screenings, STD testing and
birth control for 1.5 million of its patients. The healthcare nonprofit declared on Wednesday that it will leave the Title X program instead of agreeing to a new set of Trump administration rules which are scheduled to go into effect on Monday.
