On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed and vetoed the last of a slew of bills passed by the state legislature this year. Out of nearly a thousand measures awaiting his signature, Newsom signed 794 into law and vetoed 123. About the same ratio applied to bills designed to shore up state protections for transgender rights and the LGBTQ+ community, as the Trump administration's crusade against LGBTQ+ identity presses on.

The subpoenas demanded extensive records including 'letters, emails, texts, social media posts, phone conversations, transcripts, videos, and even calendar entries.'

Now, doctors are working to anonymize that process by pushing to hide the name of the prescriber from the labels of mifepristone and misoprostol - the two drugs used in medication abortions.
