1. Trump has promised harsher ICE crackdowns on Truth Social.

He blamed transgender people as the reason such crackdowns must happen.

Particularly, he used the phrase "transgender for everybody," a phrase he has increasingly used to justify anything he wants.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

1. Good news for transgender people in Michigan.

Multiple state senators confirm with Erin In The Morning that they will NOT take up the transgender sports ban passed by the Michigan House.

1. Anti-transgender Republicans often like to hide their religious animosity towards transgender people, arguing they are instead for "science."

Rep. Click, the Ohio law's author, let his mask slip yesterday, comparing trans people to "Lucifer."

But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it?
