School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Trump’s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports.

The administration said earlier this month that the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and a high school are each in violation of Title IX because of the participation of trans athletes.

There's no logical or moral or strategic defense for what we're doing right now. It's an idiotic plan being implemented with a level of incompetence that has no possible explanation.
Cars from Mexico and Canada are being hit with tariffs *now*, even if they are compliant with the USMCA. US officials saying don't worry, trust us, we'll refund you the amount associated with any US content when we all work out how to calculate it.

Definitions vary on when a crisis becomes “constitutional” — but there is no doubt that we are dealing with a true crisis of governance that poses a potentially mortal threat to our checks and balances, the rule of law and fundamental constitutional rights.

The Republican budget is a bad deal. It takes billions of dollars from the public services that millions of Americans rely on, and gives it to the very richest 1% in the form of $7 trillion in tax breaks.
