Note that this is the House NDAA. The Senate will have its own process, and then the differences will have to be reconciled in conference or with one chamber taking the other's bill up.

Happening now, the US House is considering several amendments to the NDAA, which would ban trans people from bathrooms on military bases, create further care bans, and more.

CBS: "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Regardless, this feels like the beginning of the end of late night.
CBS just announced "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” will end in May 2026.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

INCREDIBLE Ruling!
Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
Trans military members may continue to serve.

I don't need to call out specific articles, but, if you read something about a "waiver" possibility in the Trump DOD trans ban, you need to read Law Dork, where I explain that the alleged "exception" is no such thing.

![High Court Must Acknowledge US History Of Anti-Trans Laws
By Paisley Currah · Listen to article

President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order directing federal agencies to change policy and rules that make transgender people's lives harder marks the latest chapter in a long history of government-sanctioned discrimination against this group.[1]
The U.S. Department of State must now prevent transgender people from obtaining passports that align with their gender identity. Federal agencies are required to remove existing protections in shelters, schools, prisons and workplaces and to deny funding to contractors who serve transgender clients. This dramatic assertion of state power to target transgender people might seem unprecedented — but it's not.
During December's oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that "we don't have a history of de jure discrimination against transgender people."[2]
As a political scientist who has studied how governments treat transgender people, I must respectfully disagree.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xdr5afgwondir6s5xjp45nkc/bafkreifz6lkhyrpin5icw26msctuzwlidatxxgkgjwyia4uslydu64k2je@jpeg)
