The medical evidence review, published by the Department of Be Careful What You Wish For.... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In the dead of night, the House of Representatives passed a cruel and dangerous budget bill that targets LGBTQ+ people, people living with HIV & people living on limited incomes. "Lives literally hang in the balance.” Read @lambdalegalceo.bsky.social's statement: tinyurl.com/28b4p7bu

An “overt, mean-spirited, unjustifiable attack on transgender people by members of the House. There’s no legitimate reason for it. And so whatever standard of constitutional review is used, it should fail." @lambdalegal.org Jenny Pizer @lambdalegalclo.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Montana Court ruling was unequivocal: "[T]he Court is forced to conclude that the State's interest is actually a political and ideological one." lambdalegal.org/newsroom/cro...

Hideous bill that would also put a ban on gender-affirming care on the ballot.

When we fight, we win!! Congrats to the awesome legal team at @lambdalegal.org.

“The Braidwood case is about whether science or politics will guide our nation’s public health policy. Allowing ideological or religious objections to override scientific consensus would set a dangerous precedent.” – Lambda Legal Senior Attorney Jose Abrigo via @washblade.bsky.social

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to overturn our victory in Shilling v. Trump, our lawsuit with @hrc.org challenging the constitutionality of the administration’s ban on military service by transgender people. These are patriotic Americans who simply want to serve their country.

“They can do the right number of pullups. They can do the right amount of pushups. They can shoot straight. Yet, they’re being told they have to leave the military simply because of who they are.” @lambdalegal.bsky.social's @sashabuchert.bsky.social

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes blocks Trump’s anti-trans military ban EO and the orders implementing it. She stays her order until 10a March 21 to allow the government to seek a stay from the DC Circuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just a reminder that the the way the Senate was set up is fundamentally undemocratic and broken. And facilitates the rule of a white upper class minority over the working class majority.

Last week they censured one of their own for standing up to Trump. This week they changed their tune at the 11th hour and gave Trump/Musk a blank check CR to further dismantle the government. What will they do next week to show us who they are?

Absolute 🔥🔥 from Sarah McBride: "We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”
