The Tastiest Side Dish At Panda Express Is Actually One Of The Healthiest Things On The Menu
Though fast food vegetables can seem like a gamble as far as taste and quality, the mix of kale, cabbage, and broccoli is tossed in a sauce that's been seasoned to perfection, providing nutritional benefits without skimping on the flavor. Per Tasting Table's assessment, the super greens maintain a balanced consistency between crisp and tender, and the garlic sauce is reminiscent of a home-cooked meal. The wholesome nutritional value offers 7 grams of dietary fiber and 9 grams of protein per 10-ounce serving, both of which help to promote gut health, longevity, and healthy muscles. The dish is also lower in sugar, fat, and sodium in comparison to the dishes you should think twice about ordering. Panda Express fans certainly echo this positive sentiment, praising the dish for its simplicity in preparation and big flavor.

A thoughtful mix of green vegetables in a light and aromatic sauce, Panda Express super greens are not only a go-to order for Panda customers, but also for employees. Many have tried to suss out what it is about the sauce that makes it so crave-worthy, and the truth is actually much simpler than you might imagine. Whereas copycat recipes attempt to replicate the dish by sauteeing the veggies in a neutral oil, and tossing them with minced garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, Panda Express employees have mentioned the sauce is primarily made of a powdered vegetable soup mix diluted in oil with an additional pinch of salt and garlic in which the blanched vegetables are tossed.
You can easily make your own version of the dish at home, though it will not taste exactly like the Panda Express menu item you know and love. Whether you're venturing out for a fast food treat or making your own veggie side dish, remember that the key to any healthy dish is keeping your ingredients simple and preparation methods effective. And the next time you're tossed between steamed rice and chow mein, try pivoting towards a greener alternative. You might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

Biden's former doctor asks to delay testimony to House panel, citing patient privilege concerns
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Joe Biden's physician has asked to delay his testimony before the House oversight committee this week, citing the need for an agreement that will respect doctor-patient confidentiality rules as part of the investigation into Biden's health in office. Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who served as Biden's physician at the White House, requested a delay until the end of July or early August 'to reach an accommodation that will protect the very substantial privilege and confidentiality interests of Dr. O'Connor and former President Biden,' according to a letter from his lawyer sent to Rep. James Comer of Kentucky on Saturday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter. A spokesperson for Oversight Republicans said the committee will follow the House's deposition guidelines, which allow for witnesses to assert privilege on a question-by-question basis, with the committee chair ruling on each claim. But O'Connor is not allowed, in the committee's view, to delay or decline a congressional subpoena due to concerns over questions about potentially privileged information. The back-and-forth is part of a broader struggle over the scope of the House Republican inquiry into Biden's age and mental fitness, with serious implications for both politics and policy. Republicans have also claimed that some policies carried out by the White House 'autopen' may be invalid if it is proven that Biden was mentally incapacitated for some part of his term. Biden has strongly denied claims that he was not in a right state of mind at any point while in office, calling the claims "ridiculous and false.' The House Oversight Committee first requested O'Connor testify before the committee last July, but the Biden White House blocked his testimony. Comer renewed his request in May and later subpoenaed the doctor in June. David Schertler, the attorney for O'Connor, in the letter said the committee is refusing to 'accommodate to any degree Dr. O'Connor's objections' over protecting privilege. He said the committee's decision was 'unprecedented' and 'alarming' and warned that it threatened broader principles around medical privacy. Scherlter said O'Connor could face 'serious consequences" for violating his obligations as a doctor, including losing his medical license. In a June subpoena of O'Connor, Comer said that claims of physician-patient privilege under the American Medical Association's code of ethics 'lack merit' because that code is not part of federal law. He said the committee's subpoena meets the AMA's own requirement that physicians must share a patient's medical information if 'legally compelled to disclose the information' or 'ordered to do so by legally constituted authority.' Comer has promised that the committee will make all its findings public in a report after the inquiry has finished. He has subpoenaed O'Connor and Anthony Bernal, former chief of staff to former first lady Jill Biden. The committee last month heard voluntary testimony from Neera Tanden, former director of Biden's domestic policy counsel. The committee has also requested the testimony of nearly a dozen former senior Biden aides, including former White House chiefs of staff Ron Klain and Jeff Zients; former senior advisers Mike Donilon and Anita Dunn; former deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed, former counselor to the president Steve Ricchetti, former deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini and a former assistant to the president, Ashley Williams. The Trump White House has waived executive privilege, a principle that protects many communications between the president and staff from Congress and the courts, for almost 10 senior former Biden staffers. That move clears the way for those staffers to discuss their conversations with Biden while he was president. While the privilege can apply to former staffers, the decision of whether to waive it is decided by the sitting administration.

Planned Parenthood Wins a Temporary Injunction Over Medicaid Funding
Planned Parenthood won a temporary injunction on Monday that allows its clinics to continue to receive Medicaid funding for services that are unrelated to abortion. The organization sued the Trump administration earlier on Monday over a new law that essentially bars Planned Parenthood clinics from receiving federal Medicaid payments, claiming that the legislation is an unconstitutional attack on Planned Parenthood's national organization and its locally run health care clinics. The lawsuit, which was filed in Federal District Court in Massachusetts, challenges part of the new domestic policy bill that President Trump signed on Friday. The temporary injunction expires in 14 days. Under the new law, some nonprofit health centers that provide abortions cannot be reimbursed by Medicaid for providing any other medical services, including birth control, annual checkups and tests for sexually transmitted infections. (The use of federal Medicaid dollars to cover the cost of abortions has long been illegal.) The new law applies only to nonprofit organizations that generated $800,000 or more in revenue from Medicaid payments in the 2023 fiscal year. Because few abortion providers are large enough to meet that threshold, the lawsuit argues that the law is intended to target Planned Parenthood for its advocacy of abortion rights, violating the group's freedom of speech. 'The Defund Provision is a naked attempt to leverage the government's spending power to attack and penalize Planned Parenthood and impermissibly single it out for unfavorable treatment,' Planned Parenthood said in its lawsuit.
