Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned
The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

what possible reason can there be for this other than abject cruelty or indifference
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.
The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.
This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.
