Brought by an anonymous whistleblower and later joined by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the suit alleges the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and three Planned Parenthood affiliates defrauded the Texas and Louisiana Medicaid programs by collecting $17 million for services provided while it fought state ...

Boehm went on to say there were...

During the pandemic, federal offic...

L2s aim to allow the network to scale to accommodate a large number of voters and information. Despite several small-...
