Summary
The Trump administration reinstated health data webpages just before a court-ordered deadline, following a lawsuit by Doctors for America (DFA) against multiple federal agencies.
DFA argued that removing the pages, which include key public health indices, violated procedural laws and hindered medical research and patient care.
The pages were taken down after Trump’s executive order targeting gender ideology in government policies.
Agencies must also identify additional resources for restoration by February 14th, while the lawsuit continues to assess the legality of the removals.
Keep fighting, dont give up, dont give them a breath
They need to be chokeslammed to the wall at every turn. Otherwise they win.
Reminder that they want to project more strength than they actually have. They are not invincible, they can be successfully challenged. They want you to think they have 100% power so that you capitulate on things they couldn’t actually have made you do. Don’t give in - fight back
That includes the social vulnerability index - https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/place-health/php/eji/index.html - and environmental justice index - https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/place-health/php/svi/index.html - , for example, which are tools that show whether particular populations might face disproportionate health risks.

Excellent work by the Verge for linking to the Web Archive versions of these pages, hope to see more of this from journalists
Incidentally, if you see a government resource the Trumpists might want to destroy, see if it’s already been saved here - https://web.archive.org/ - and (if not) save it here - https://web.archive.org/save
And if this seems like a worthwhile resource and you’re in a position to do so, consider visiting - https://archive.org/donate/
trump blinked. This is good for the future of our democracy.
