While bird flu wreaks havoc on our farms & drives up prices for Americans, Trump's Department of Health is launching a campaign against trans people. Trump will stop at nothing to attack trans people—even if it means diverting critical resources to a campaign of hate.

Too often, members of the LGBTQI+ community—especially our transgender siblings—face violence for daring to exist. Sam Nordquist should still be alive today. Together, let's all work towards a future where every person can live free from violence. www.advocate.com/crime/transg...

The Acting EEOC Chair & General Counsel are ignoring the duties of their offices by refusing to process workers’ gender identity discrimination claims & dropping lawsuits the EEOC had already filed against employers accused of discriminating against trans & nonbinary employees.

The Trump-Vance Admin is weaponizing the federal government against trans people's existence. As lawsuits are filed to block these unlawful acts, our members are also committed to fighting back in Congress, because trans people can't be erased—no matter what the President says.

GOOD NEWS: A federal judge just temporarily blocked part of Trump's EOs that tried to ban trans people under 19 from accessing medically-necessary & lifesaving care! Let’s keep the government OUT of Americans’ private, medical decisions.

Unsurprisingly, Trump & Hegseth are more concerned with playing political games than our national security. The Trump-Vance Admin's pause on integrating new recruits—just because they happen to be trans—is wrong. All who are capable of serving should be allowed to serve.

Trump's EOs targeting the LGBTQ+ community are shameful. All people deserve to be protected from discrimination and treated equally as their authentic selves. Our nation has made tremendous progress in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights; I will stand firmly against any efforts to force us backward.

Trump's move to ban trans people from sports is hateful, wrong, & will make sports less safe for ALL women and girls. It is clear that he does not truly care about protecting women. Read Chair @fernandez.house.gov & @equality.house.gov Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social’s statements:

As Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov, @shaheen.senate.gov, @frankel.house.gov & Sen. Schatz make clear in this letter, Trump's effort to eviscerate USAID will cost lives. This includes LGBTQI+ lives. The Administration must reverse course & stop undermining USAID's critical work.

We must reject the demonization of trans individuals, including those in uniform who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Equality is an American value they are serving to protect.

The recent anti-LGBTQ+ measures signed by @POTUS are discriminatory and cruel. Executive actions cannot override the constitution, federal law, and medical best practices. I will continue to work with my @equality.house.gov colleagues to fight these attacks on our fellow Americans.

No matter how hard politicians like Donald Trump try to censor voices they don't like or rewrite the past to advance their extremist causes, they can never change the fact that Black History—including Black LGBTQI+ History—is American History. #BlackHistoryMonth

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one. It endangers public health and abandons those who rely on these critical resources. Reckless and stupid.

Because of Donald Trump's crusade against LGBTQI+ people & other minorities, federal agencies have scrubbed their websites of information about gender, sex, and other topics the White House thinks should be off-limits to the American people. This is censorship, full stop.

The Trump Admin's unlawful attempt to ban funding—including for programs, contracts or grants—that simply acknowledges the existence of trans people is going to cost lives, full stop. Trump is weaponizing the government to harm the trans & larger LGBTQI+ community.

In an unprecedented move, Donald Trump unlawfully fired 2 EEOC Commissioners. The bipartisan, independent EEOC protects workers from discrimination. Trump's firing of these commissioners undermines civil rights enforcement & will have severe ramifications for workers in the US.
