AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

COVID Watch: A highly mutated BA.3.2 “cicada” subvariant is rising, with health experts warning it could surge into summer—especially among seniors who may be less protected. Trans Health Fight: In a major setback, Texas Children’s Hospital has agreed to stop pediatric gender-affirming care and create a “detransition” clinic, as the Trump DOJ escalates pressure on providers. Local Health & Oversight: Rhode Island’s FDA inspection data shows three Providence County-area companies got three FDA inspections in April, all with “no action indicated,” while a push to create a state Inspector General’s Office gains bipartisan support. Housing Politics: Providence City Council is again trying to override a rent control veto, but the clock is running out. Faith in Public Life: Ahead of a May 17 “Rededicate 250” prayer jubilee on the National Mall, the event’s narrow vision draws criticism even as organizers expect thousands.
