Hi all,
❌ The House of Representatives voted on Tuesday in favor of a bill that would restrict trans girls from playing on sports teams that aligned with their gender identity. Advocates have spoken out against the bill calling it harmful and unnecessary.
🏛️ Confirmation hearings began this week for Donald Trump's next cabinet. On Tuesday, Pete Hegseth — Trump's controversial DoD pick — faced senators. One Republican took the time to make some anti-trans jokes.
🩺 The Supreme Court is taking up a case that could allow businesses to refuse to cover HIV prevention medication and some cancer screenings.
