“Drafts of a report to Congress obtained by NPR show Hegseth invoking that clause — accusing Scouting America of fostering "gender confusion” [arguing] the Scouts have strayed from their mission to "cultivate masculine values."”

If messaging out of Minnesota’s GOP to Congresspeople is any indication, our state is going to spend 2026 drowning in messages targeting Somali community, immigrants, and trans folks.

These aren’t “distractions” they’re active attempts to scapegoat anyone seen as “other.”

We must stand together.

UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.

I have been saying I wanted to write about this, so I am glad that I was able to just spend two solid days working on this story, basically without interruption. I haven’t had much of that since January, but it’s important, and I hope folks who appreciate it subscribe if they don’t already!
NEW: Multiple judges call out DOJ's methods of defending its invasive trans care subpoenas.

A trio of public rulings, including one on Friday, all side with providers. Two rulings also raised sharp questions about DOJ's moves in recent months.

The sharp decline in US teenagers’ aspiration to get married and have kids…

…is happening almost entirely among girls, not boys.

At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that.

I spent most of the day talking with folks about how to talk about trans rights, and then we went and had conversations on doors in very light blue district. And it went...great!

Change is possible. And all of us have the power to nudge it along. Get in the work, wherever it is for you.

my take on mtg’s retirement as a former veteran hill reporter:

this is a big deal & indicative of a political realignment & any snarky users here trying to talk you out of it are simply genuinely wrong!

Our Somali friends and neighbors are elected leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, caregivers, drivers, and integral parts of communities from the Twin Cities to St Cloud to small towns. No matter their status, they belong.

Don’t buy into hateful rhetoric. Stand with all those who call this state home.

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

ICE's actions undermine trust in law enforcement and threaten public safety.

I am renewing my call for Congress to pass the No Secret Police Act to reign in this lawless agency and protect the people of Minnesota. I ask you to join me.

Trans Day of Remembrance is always a difficult one to hold. But I am so, so grateful for those who held that space with me today. The words, hugs, stories, tears, and joy amidst it all was necessary and beautiful.
