This does not affect the restoration of research grants ordered in GLMA v. NIH. That preliminary injunction is based on violations of the ACA and the Fifth Amendment. lambdalegal.org/wp-content/u...

The Skrmetti decision is a travesty, but it is limited to the medical context for minors and does not bless all discrimination against transgender people. We also have other arguments against these bans. Transgender youth, please know that we love you and will fight for you.

I’m particularly proud of this lawsuit against the administration’s unprecedented, sweeping, and discriminatory terminations of NIH funding for LGBQTI+ health research. Our LGBTQI+ community knows all too well that silence equals death. But we will not be silenced. We will not be ignored.
🔬 NEW LAWSUIT: Today, Lambda Legal, GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality, and 16 researchers filed a lawsuit against the NIH over the termination of 100s of research grants that funded critical LGBTQI+ health research.

Today’s decision by SCOTUS to allow immediate implementation of Trump’s ban on military service by transgender people is devastating and will irreparably harm thousands of patriotic transgender servicemembers who have sacrificed and fought for our freedoms with honor and distinction. 1/2
JUSTICE DENIED: Today, SCOTUS granted the Trump admin’s request to lift the preliminary injunction that blocked enforcement of the trans military ban, allowing the admin’s policy to take immediate effect while our case with @hrc.org Foundation proceeds.

It’s not everyday your brief is spotlighted on SCOTUSblog. Great write up about our opposition to Trump administration’s request to the Supreme Court to reinstate its ban on transgender military service while our case proceeds.
In a brief filed this evening, seven transgender service members and one prospective recruit urged the justices to leave in place a judge’s order that blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a policy prohibiting anyone with gender dysphoria from serving in the military.
Transgender service members urge justices to let them continue to serve

Shame on anyone who bends the knee to fascism, whether it is Meta, ABC, or Paul Weiss.
A friend’s disgusted reaction to Paul, Weiss:
“So many non-profit lawyers have been so busy working on cases against the unconstitutional actions of the Administration, because the big firm lawyers with multiple houses and cars and boats and every other damn thing are too fucking weak to do it.”
