Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. The new rules, slated to take effect on Aug. 1, reverse sexual assault rule changes put in place during the Trump administration and add protections for LGBTQ students. The other plaintiffs include a parent, Shawna Rowland, who filed on behalf of her daughter, K.R.; and three private organizations, Moms for Liberty, Female Athletes United and Young America’s Foundation. |
| A growing list of Republicans including House Speaker Mike Johnson and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have joined former President Donald Trump at his Manhattan trial where he faces felony charges of falsifying business records.

Mitt Romney said Wednesday it’s both “a little embarrassing” and “a little demeaning” for GOP leaders to show up outside a New York City courthouse in support of Trump’s claims that his criminal trial is a political persecution. Romney, the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee, also had something to say about the upcoming debates agreed to Wednesday by Trump and President Joe Biden, comparing them to the pair of puppets that portray cantankerous elderly hecklers on “The Muppet Show.” Read more on what Romney said.
