- Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

- Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.
- Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
