9. The administration is preparing for a fresh offensive against transgender Americans, with this forthcoming document serving as its intellectual foundation. Healthcare providers and academic experts should brace themselves to counter government-sanctioned misinformation the moment it emerges.

8. The fact sheet also claims that the administration has already launched investigations, stating, “It has also initiated investigations of multiple entities that have misled the public about the long-term side effects of chemical and surgical mutilation under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”

7. Far-right commentators repeatedly rejected as experts in court cases could potentially leverage their inclusion in federally published documents to bolster their credibility in future litigation.

6. Traditionally, scientific agencies like the FDA and HHS have maintained independence from political pressure, especially in medical findings, but the Trump administration has systematically eroded these boundaries.
Should the admin produce this report, it could throw court cases into jeopardy.

5. Previous reporting by Erin In The Morning confirmed that this report was expected. The review is expected to follow the same playbook as Governor DeSantis’ Florida Board of Medicine review and the Cass Review in England—both of which excluded gender-affirming care experts.

4. Though it is unknown who these “eight scholars” will be, the Cass Review utilized people who do not treat transgender patients or who push conversion therapy-like practices to treat them in the construction of their conclusions, as did the Florida Review.

3. “HHS to publish an evidence-based review of the literature on best-practices to promote the health of children who assert gender dysphoria. HHS has coordinated with a team of eight distinguished scholars, and will publish this review by the 90-day deadline,” reads the fact sheet.

2. The White House released a fact sheet Monday confirming it will declare gender-affirming care "not supported" by evidence in a new, pseudoscientific report— contradicting numerous peer-reviewed studies demonstrating positive outcomes and announcing investigations have begun. See here:

8. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) said Trump is "selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him," calling the contest "an impeachable offense."

7. To get invited to the VIP Tour, it will cost a pretty penny.
The person currently in 25th place, "elon," purchased 100,000 Trump coins for about $1.33 million on April 23.
An invite to the dinner is also not cheap.
The person currently in 220th place, "ray," purchased 763 tokens for about 10K

6. Many of the leaders do not appear to be from the US.
The user currently in 2nd place, "MeCo," purchased most of his Trump tokens through a version of the Binance exchange unavailable to U.S. users. Another user, "EV.", moved into 4th by purchasing $3 million tokens through the same exchange

5. There are few limitations on who can participate in the contest to enrich Trump in exchange for access. Foreign entities are explicitly permitted, except for "individuals or entities… that are the subject of economic or trade sanctions"

4. Since the announcement $TRUMP has spiked from $9 to around $15. (This is still down about 80% from its peak)
Trump profits in two ways
1. He owns 800 million tokens. So a $6 increase is worth $4.8B on paper
2. He collects fees on every trade. ($1.6M in the 24 hrs after the contest annoucement)

3. The top 25 $TRUMP holders were promised an "exclusive reception" with Trump before the dinner and "a special VIP White House tour."
(A revised website now says "Special VIP Tour" without specifying the location, but there is no indication that the White House tour has been scrapped.)

2. Last week, Trump announced that the top 220 holders of $TRUMP, his meme coin, will be invited to have dinner with him at his private golf club near DC.
Trump will discuss policy issues at the dinner, including "the future of crypto."
