The Seattle Children’s Hospital filed a lawsuit in Travis County District Court on Dec. 7 against the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG), after that agency requested documents related to gender transition policies and any such care provided to Texas children.

However, hospital claims that the OAG lacks jurisdiction to demand such records from the hospital, and that Washington’s “Shield Law” protects it from requests made by states that “restrict or criminalize reproductive and gender-affirming care.”

“The Shield Law prohibits Washington-based entities such as Seattle Children’s from ‘[c]omply[ing] with subpoena, warrant, court order, or other civil or criminal legal process for records, information, facilities, or assistance related to protected health care services that are lawful in the state of Washington,'” the lawsuit stated.

    The chkn is the most overrated fast food joint I’ve ever had. There’s always a line out the parking lot and around the corner. It baffles me.

    In N Out is a really good cheeseburger for the price. I wouldn’t call it overrated, I would call it appropriately rated. It’s not the best cheeseburger around, but it’s the best fast food cheeseburger for $3.50.
