Transgender health leader’s name changed on her official HHS portrait : Shots

Admiral Rachel L. Levine, pictured at HHS headquarters last year, led the Public Health Corps during the Biden administration. Her official portrait was changed during the government shutdown to her previous name.

As you walk down a particular hallway on the seventh floor of the Humphrey Building in Washington, D.C., you’ll find a line of photographic portraits of all the people from years past who have led the Public Health Corps at the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Only one of those portraits is of a transgender person: Adm. Rachel Levine, who served for four years as President Biden’s assistant secretary for health. She was the first transgender person to win Senate confirmation, and her portrait has been displayed in the hallway since soon after she was confirmed in 2021. The role is a four-star admiral position in charge of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service.

Levine’s official portrait was recently altered, a spokesperson for HHS confirmed to NPR. A digital photograph of the portrait in the hallway obtained by NPR shows that Levine’s previous name is now typed below the portrait, under the glass of the frame.

Levine responds

“During the federal shutdown, the current leadership of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health changed Admiral Levine’s photo to remove her current legal name and use a prior name,” says Adrian Shanker, former deputy assistant secretary for health policy in the Biden administration who worked with Levine and is now her spokesperson. He called the move an act “of bigotry against her.”

Adm. Rachel Levine's official portrait is a vertical photo of her, wearing her uniform.

Adm. Rachel Levine’s official portrait has hung in a hallway of the headquarters of HHS since shortly after she was confirmed by the Senate in 2021.

Levine told NPR that it was an honor to serve the American people as the assistant secretary for health “and I’m not going to comment on this type of petty action.”

HHS statement

NPR asked HHS who made the change and why. In response, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon wrote: “Our priority is ensuring that the information presented internally and externally by HHS reflects gold standard science. We remain committed to reversing harmful policies enacted by Levine and ensuring that biological reality guides our approach to public health.”

The current assistant secretary for health is Adm. Brian Christine, a urologist from Alabama who was confirmed by the Senate in October.

Admiral Rachel L. Levine is a trans woman in her mid 60s. She has glasses and gray hair pulled back from her face. She is wearing a uniform with many gold stripes on the sleeves indicating her high rank.

An HHS staff member who asked not be identified for fear of professional retribution called the change “disrespectful” and added that it exemplifies “the erasure of transgender individuals by this administration.”

During the 2024 campaign, President Trump and other Republicans spent millions on anti-transgender ads, some of which featured Levine’s image.

Former President Donald Trump delivers remarks during a campaign rally in Atlanta on Oct. 15. With the election in its closing weeks, Trump and other Republican candidates have been focusing many of their campaign ads around the issue of transgender rights.

Since taking office, Trump has moved aggressively to curtail the rights of transgender and intersex people through many federal agencies, including the Departments of Health, Justice, Education, and others. At the Pentagon, transgender servicemembers were forced out of the military without benefits. At the Department of State, decades-old passport policies were reversed. The president often describes transgender people as a danger to society.

Shanker says the alteration of Levine’s official portrait is unprecedented. He praised her public health work on COVID-19, syphilis, HIV/AIDS and opioids, and said rather than act vindictively towards her, current leaders at HHS should focus on the many public health challenges facing the American people.

How to Grow and Care for Arrowhead Vine

Arrowhead plants are epiphytic, starting their lives in the trees in the wild, and sending out runners along branches as they expand.

They can even send stems down into the soil to act as trunks if they need additional support.

In the right conditions, they blossom with large, fleshy spathes covered in tiny flowers, and then produce red berries.

Depending on the cultivar, a happy specimen can grow up to six feet tall indoors.

How to Grow

Arrowhead plants are versatile, making lovely potted plants as well as being gorgeous in hanging containers.

A close up horizontal image of an arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) growing in a wide ceramic planter set on a windowsill.

Because they’re epiphytic, you can also train one to grow up a moss-covered pole, or plant one in a moss-filled basket. They also make nice additions to a dish garden.

Don’t place your arrowhead plants in full sun. You can gradually introduce them to a few hours of morning sunlight, but they do best if you keep them in bright but indirect light.

A close up vertical image of a potted arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) with variegated foliage.

In the wild, these plants are protected from the sun by the canopy of the trees that they’re growing on. That’s the sort of environment that you want to recreate.

Additionally, they grow in humid areas where they receive a lot of rain. Your job is to try to recreate these tropical conditions.

Add water to the potting medium when the top half-inch has dried out.

It’s easy to determine when more water is needed. Just stick your finger in the soil. When it feels dry about halfway to your first knuckle, it’s time for more water.

Reduce watering so that the top inch or two of soil is allowed to dry out first in the fall and winter.

Arrowhead plants like consistent feeding throughout the growing season. Fertilize the soil once a month with liquid houseplant food diluted by half.

Organic Indoor Plant Food by the Grow Co., available at Amazon, is an excellent option. Just reduce what’s recommended for use by the manufacturer by half, by diluting it with water.

Organic Indoor Plant Food

Don’t fertilize in the fall or winter.

Having said all that, arrowhead plants are incredibly adaptable, especially if you change their conditions gradually – they will adapt to less water, less sunlight, or lower humidity.

But if you want the biggest, fullest plant possible, try to give them what they crave.

Cultivars to Select

The range of arrowhead plant cultivars is astounding. They have varying leaf sizes and shapes, and an incredible variety of colors, both solid and variegated.

The leaves can range from pale pink to deep green, and they may feature accents of white, cream, yellow, rust, or red.

‘Merry Maria’ is a lovely option. It has glossy leaves that start out salmon pink before fading to medium green.

‘White Butterfly’ features broad leaves that are pale green with dark green edges.

Other common cultivars include ‘Pink Fairy,’ with splashes of dark pink in the centers, and ‘Golden Allusion,’ which has yellow and green leaves with a pink midvein.

Maintenance

There’s no need to prune unless you notice any dead or yellow leaves.

That said, feel free to give your plant some shape. If you have one vine that’s growing a bit leggy or too long, trim it just beyond the node.

This will encourage the vine to branch out rather than growing longer.

You can trim back to a node at any point when you want to create fuller, thicker growth.

Arrowhead plants are perfectly happy when they are fairly rootbound, but you will need to upgrade the pot a few times as yours matures.

If the roots start to crawl out of the drainage hole, it’s time to go up one pot size.

One Pot Black Bean and Rice Soup (10 Minute Meal)

One Pot Black Bean and Rice Soup (10 Minute Meal)

Black bean rice soup is one of those rare meals that tastes like it took all afternoon, even though it comes together in about 10 minutes. This version leans into every shortcut that makes dinner feel doable on an already exhausting day. Frozen rice, canned black beans, fire roasted tomatoes and store bought taco seasoning create a rich, cozy bowl of soup with almost no effort. It’s warm, hearty and the kind of simple comfort food you can make even when you’re completely over cooking.

I’ve been in my own season of cooking burnout this past year, and recipes like this black bean rice soup are what helped me find my way back into the kitchen. I’ve learned that the meals we actually make are the ones that feel forgiving and approachable, the ones that don’t demand perfection or a long list of steps. This soup fits that perfectly. It uses ingredients you likely already have, welcomes shortcuts and turns out delicious every single time, which is exactly what I need in my real-life kitchen and love sharing with you.

If quick, comforting soups are your thing, I have a few others you might love. My southwest black bean soup is ready in just 10 minutes and is packed with bold, smoky flavor. And if you want something a little different, the spicy white bean stew is incredibly cozy and gets a big flavor boost from store bought chimichurri. It comes together in under 20 minutes and is one of my favorite low-effort ways to make dinner feel exciting again.

Ingredient spotlight

This is not a full list of ingredients, but a few I thought were worth pointing out. Please see the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients.

Frozen jasmine rice – I always keep a box of frozen jasmine rice from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods in my freezer because it makes recipes like this so easy. You can also cook and freeze your own rice, I use my Soupercubes to portion it out whenever I make a fresh batch. You’ll need about 2 cups of cooked rice for this soup, and leftover rice or microwaveable shelf-stable rice works just as well.
Fire roasted crushed tomatoes – If you can find fire roasted crushed tomatoes, definitely use them. They add a subtle smokiness that makes the soup taste richer and more complex. If regular crushed tomatoes are all you have, that’s totally fine. Just add about ½ teaspoon of cumin or smoked paprika to get that smoky flavor.
Taco seasoning – Use your favorite store-bought taco seasoning here. It’s the easiest way to build flavor fast. If you’re feeling ambitious, or realize you’re out of the packet mid-recipe, you can quickly make your own taco seasoning using spices you probably already have in your pantry.

Step by step instructions

Recipe tips

Swap the rice. If quinoa is more your vibe, use frozen cooked quinoa instead of rice. It works just as well and keeps the recipe quick and easy.
Add veggies the burnout-friendly way. Toss in ½ a bag of frozen bell peppers when you cook the onions. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, then continue with the recipe. It adds extra flavor and color with zero extra prep.

★ Did you make this recipe? Please give it a star rating below!

1/2 medium red onion
2 cans black beans (15 oz cans) – drained and rinsed well
28 oz fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth – go up to 3 cups if you want a thinner soup
10 oz frozen jasmine rice – 1 frozen package from Trader Joe’s – about 2 cups
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon salt

Microwave the rice if it’s frozen. Alternatively I like to let it defrost in the fridge all day, then no microwaving required.

10 oz frozen jasmine rice
Chop onion (I love using the mini food processor for this).

1/2 medium red onion
Heat a pot over medium heat and spray with avocado oil. Add onion and cook 2-3 minutes.
Add black beans, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, frozen rice, taco seasoning and salt to the pot with the onions. Stir well and cover.

2 cans black beans (15 oz cans), 28 oz fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, 2 cups vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt
Bring soup to a simmer (stirring occasionally). Once simmering, turn off heat.
Optional: Blend about half the soup with an immersion blender to help thicken.
Serve with your favorite toppings, I love chopped red onion, avocado and cilantro.

Warm or thaw the rice first. If you’re using frozen rice, microwave it or thaw it in the fridge before adding it to the pot. Adding it frozen will increase the cooking time.
Adjust the soup thickness easily. Add more vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner soup. For a thicker texture, blend about half the soup with an immersion blender and stir it back in.
Rice absorbs broth as it sits. If you make the soup ahead of time, the rice will soak up liquid. Add extra vegetable broth or water when reheating until it reaches your desired consistency.

Optional flavor additions

Make it smoky and spicy – Add a chopped chipotle pepper in adobo (or two if you love heat) to give the soup a deep, smoky kick.
Make it spicy – Stir in about ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
Make it brighter – Finish the soup with a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving. It lifts all the flavors and adds a refreshing pop.

Common questions

What if I don’t have frozen rice on hand?

No problem. Make a quick batch of Instant Pot jasmine rice — it takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. You’ll only need 2 cups of cooked rice for this recipe, so you’ll still be eating in no time.

Can I make this soup without rice?

Yes. You can skip the rice entirely or replace it with frozen cooked quinoa or even small cooked pasta. Just adjust the broth slightly to reach your desired consistency.

Could I add ground beef to make it more filling?

Absolutely. Brown the ground beef after the onions start to get some color. Use lean ground beef or blot off any excess fat before adding the rest of the ingredients so the soup doesn’t become greasy.

Can I use different beans?

Absolutely. Black beans work best here, but pinto beans or kidney beans also taste great and keep the recipe just as quick and easy.

Is this soup good for meal prep?

Yes. This soup works well for meal prep. Just know that the rice will continue to absorb the broth and can make the soup thicker, almost like a chili. You can enjoy it that way or simply add more vegetable broth or water when reheating.

How long can I store this in the fridge?

Store leftovers for up to 3 days. Any longer and the rice starts to break down and lose its texture.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes. This soup freezes really well. I like freezing it in 1 cup portions so it reheats quickly and makes for an easy grab-and-go lunch.

Healthy Stocking Stuffer Ideas (To Make and Buy)

What is it about a Christmas stocking? Old or young, waking up on Christmas morning to a stocking lumpy with little surprises has its own special joy. These healthy stocking stuffer ideas have the perfect gift for everyone on your list!

It’s always fun pulling the hidden items out to reveal the small gifts inside, even if it’s something as small as a pack of gum or as practical as a pair of fuzzy new socks! Having all of these ideas in one big list makes your holiday season shopping even easier (even if you did miss the Black Friday deals).

The Tradition of Christmas Stockings

Thanks to the famous poem “The Night Before Christmas,” we know Christmas stockings have been “hung by the chimney with care” for over 200 years. But exactly how long ago the tradition began and why it became so popular aren’t as well known.

Most agree the Christmas stocking tradition pays tribute to St. Nicholas, the real man behind today’s Santa traditions.

The legend goes that St. Nicholas heard of a widowed man who couldn’t pay a dowry for his three daughters. This was a desperate situation in those times. St. Nicholas dropped gold coins down the widower’s chimney by night and a coin fell into one of the stockings hung by the fire to dry. The widower and his daughters were overjoyed to find the coins the next morning, their worries over.

The example of St. Nicholas continues to shape our idea of the true spirit of Christmas today! My kids also participate in the St. Nicholas Day tradition of leaving a boot out for “St. Nick” to fill with treats every December 6th.

Just Because Stocking Stuffer Gifts

Here are some other fun ideas that didn’t really fit into the categories above.

Arianne’s Urban Garden in Minnesota, Part 2

Happy Friday GPODers!

We’re back in Minneapolis today to see more inspiring designs and captivating color from Arianne Baldomero’s garden. Be sure to check out Part 1, if you missed it yesterday, and keep on scrolling to reenter Arianne’s world of garden abundance.

Our garden is in Minneapolis, MN (zone 4B), making the most of our small urban space. Each winter and early spring, I start most of our annuals from seed. I love crafting container combinations and gathering homegrown flowers for bouquets. Our backyard patio truly becomes an extension of our kitchen in summer, where we cook, dine, and entertain outdoors.

Arianne has an incredible eye for combining plants, particularly as she mixes flowers with foliage that’s already attention-grabbing. As if this wasn’t already impressive, she grows most of these annuals successfully from seed!

Many of these annuals are potted up to create colorful container designs, but others are utilized for extra color around perennials like hostas, pulmonaria, and a ‘Banana Boat’ sedge (Carex siderosticha ‘Banana Boat’, Zone 5–9) in her beds.

One last shot of Arianne’s lush and colorful garden designs before we move on to…

Her incredible cut flower arrangements! Arianne uses her keen eye for stunning plant combinations to craft beautiful bouquets with flowers and foliage cuttings from her garden. This combination of light and dark oranges is a feast of fascinating textures.

This bouquet has a similar color palette as the first, but some more vibrant blooms pack a bit more punch and make for a bolder statement at the center of a table.

This arrangement is a chic composition that plays with light and dark shades. A mix of zinnias and dahlias that I would best describe as “peaches and cream” are contrasted beautifully with dark foliage cuttings.

She’s got a mini flower farm on her hands! I love this shot showing all of the different flowers Arianne harvested, divided up into vases of matching colors. Yet again she shows that you do not need tons of space to create a beautiful and productive garden.

And it looks like some pollinators enjoy Arianne’s as much as she does. An Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) with some wing damage stopped by to sample her zinnias when they were all gathered on her patio table.

Thank you so much for sharing all of your gorgeous photos with us, Arianne! Although your planting space is limited it is clear that you creativity and skill with plants knows no bounds.

You know what they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery and that is no different in our gardens. Garden Photo of the Day can be the perfect place to spot new plants and combinations in your garden, as well as inspire other gardeners to try the garden creations you’re most proud of. However, we need more contributors sharing their new ideas and information to keep this well of garden exchange alive. Follow the directions below to submit photos via email, or send me a DM on Instagram: @agirlherdogandtheroad.

We want to see YOUR garden!

Have photos to share? We’d love to see your garden, a particular collection of plants you love, or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit!

To submit, send 5–10 photos to [email protected] along with some information about the plants in the pictures and where you took the photos. We’d love to hear where you are located, how long you’ve been gardening, successes you are proud of, failures you learned from, hopes for the future, favorite plants, or funny stories from your garden.

Your Quick + Stress-Free Weekly Meal Plan

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed and just plain tired of figuring out what to make for dinner every night, you’re in the right place. The Cooking Burnout Club is here for those of us who love good food but simply do not have the energy for long recipes, endless chopping or complicated meals right now. These recipes are built for real life, where dinner needs to be quick, low-effort and still taste delicious enough that you actually want to eat it.

This weekly meal plan is designed for anyone who’s burnt out from life, juggling way too much and just wants easy, satisfying meals they can throw together without stress. We use freezer shortcuts, pantry staples and simple sauces, because cooking should feel doable… not draining. If you’ve ever stared at your kitchen at 6pm and felt completely over it, these recipes are your new best friend.

Delicious weeknight meals that are easy to make, featuring creamy pasta, soup, sweet chili chicken, and buffalo chicken tacos.

I’m Sam, and even though I’ve been cooking and developing recipes for years, I’ve spent the past year deep in my own season of burnout. My dinners became greek yogurt with strawberry jelly for weeks at a time, or scrambled eggs and a toasted bagel on nights when I could muster a little more energy. I wanted variety again, but I knew I couldn’t handle long recipes or hours at the stove. That’s why I created the Cooking Burnout Club; a place where we can choose the shortcuts, skip the guilt and bring back meals that feel doable, comforting and delicious… even when we’re running on empty.
