For survivors of domestic violence, health coverage is an important part of the safety net that protects them from adverse health outcomes, helping them access the care they need while navigating the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship.

Yet, recent federal policy changes are making coverage more expensive and harder to maintain, adding to the instability survivors may already face when seeking access to care. https://ampr.gs/4jTFJeX

Health coverage is part of a vital safety net for people experiencing domestic violence. Cuts to Medicaid and changes to ACA marketplace coverage could make it harder for these survivors to receive and maintain care.

In June 2026, the Trump administration approved a land swap with SpaceX in Texas that gives 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to the company. In exchange, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will receive 683 acres of land formerly owned by SpaceX.

Important things to know about the swap:
❗ The land being given to SpaceX is sacred to the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation.
❗ The area also includes critical wetlands and habitat for threatened local wildlife populations, including shorebirds and endangered ocelots.
❗ Each SpaceX rocket launch sends rocks, sheet metal, and fiery debris into the air, so the expansion will likely damage habitats and could cause small fires.

From a private resort road through Yosemite to a SpaceX facility on a Texas wildlife refuge, land exchanges are an emerging threat to public lands and a potential jackpot for wealthy and well-connected individuals and businesses in the Trump era.
