Eliciting disgust from conservatives, California Attorney General Rob Bonta last week joined a multi-state coalition suing the Trump Administration over its efforts to restrict so-called gender affirming care for minors.

With the second Trump term, reestablishing the rule of law is underway, but its universal realization is uncertain. Federal anti-discrimination law is clear enough, but hasn’t been enforced, or has been bizarrely interpreted to not only allow men pretending to be women to participate in women’s sports, but to suggest that was the intention of those writing such laws. Other laws have been warped not only to allow the surgical mutilation of gender confused children, but to force taxpayers to pay for the procedures and to entirely abrogate parent’s rights to direct the upbringing of their children. Kamala Harris ran...

California, 15 other states and the District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration over efforts to end gender-affirming care for people younger than 19. The lawsuit challenges a Jan. 28 executive order calling on the Justice Department to, among other things, investigate healthcare providers. California and a coalition of other liberal-led states sued the Trump administration Friday over efforts to end gender-affirming care for transgender, intersex and nonbinary children and young adults nationwide — calling them an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ+ patients, healthcare providers and states’ rights. The lawsuit was brought by California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and officials...

Facing pressure from the Trump administration, Children’s Hospital L.A. officially ended care for transgender patients Tuesday. The closure of the renowned program signals a wider unraveling in the availability of care for trans youths across the country, experts said.

WASHINGTON—In a major move against the transgender medical industry, the Federal Trade Commission hosted a workshop Wednesday in Washington, D.C., examining the dangers of so-called gender-affirming care. The FTC’s workshop, first reported by The Daily Wire in late May, has sparked the ire of leftist activists and Democrats, who argue that the focus is inappropriate. Yet the academics, commentators, detransitioners, parents, and doctors present at the workshop argued that the transgender medical industry is pushing ideology upon American children who are not able to fully consent to these life-altering procedures. “The issue of gender medicine has shattered political boundaries,” said...

A former Pfizer scientist was subpoenaed Monday by House Republicans over allegations that senior executives at the pharma giant colluded to “deliberately slow down” clinical tests of its COVID-19 vaccine ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The House Judiciary Committee ordered Dr. Philip Dormitzer, the ex-vice president and chief scientific officer of RNA and viral vaccines for Pfizer, to appear for a deposition on July 22 after demanding answers about allegations “that senior Pfizer executives conspired to withhold public health information so as to influence the 2020 presidential election.” “To date, you have failed to voluntarily comply with our requests,”...

The Trump administration is weighing cutting off funds to hospitals that it says provide gender-related treatments for children and teenagers, a move that would sharply escalate officials’ scrutiny of such programs. The potential for increased federal scrutiny on gender-related healthcare comes after a 30-day deadline passed Saturday for nine children’s hospitals to respond to letters from Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator and celebrity physician known as Dr. Oz. The former heart surgeon and television host demanded data related to sex-reassignment surgeries, hormone therapy and puberty blockers. “President Trump has been clear: America will protect kids...

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in U.S. v. Skrmetti, upholding Tennessee’s ban on medical gender interventions for children, reflects a split in the Justices’ views of medicine: Is it about restoring patients’ health or satisfying their wants? The court held last week that the Tennessee law permissibly distinguished between different medical uses of puberty blockers and hormones for children. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts explained that medical treatments are defined not only by the drug used but by the purpose for which it is prescribed. Administering testosterone to a boy with delayed puberty is categorically different from...

The American Medical Association's new president Dr. Bobby Mukkamala said the ruling was "harmful government interference." The American Medical Association (AMA), the largest medical association in the United States, is coming out against the Supreme Courts ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, arguing that irreversible and damaging transgender procedures for minors are necessary treatments. “The American Medical Association is disappointed in today’s decision that opens the door to further intrusion into patient care and harmful government interference into the practice of medicine,” AMA President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala said in a statement after the ruling came down. The court ruled on...

Detransitioner Chloe Cole landed a final blow to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after she threw an absolute hissy fit over the recent United States Supreme Court transgender ruling for kids.On Wednesday, SCOTUS upheld Tennessee's law barring "gender-affirming care" (including irreversible mutilation) for so-called "transgender" minors, which specifically rejected claims that "transgender" people are part of a protected class. Warren lost her ever-loving leftist mind and falsely claimed on X that "Trans kids suffer when they don't get medically necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court. My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones....

In a total capitulation to the Trump Administration, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announced last week that it is shutting down its notorious clinic that foisted sex change procedures on minors. The announcement marks an abrupt shift for the Children’s Hospital, which had earlier seemed inclined to fight the Trump Administration in court over its threat to cut off funding to any hospital that provides so-called gender affirming care for youths.

A prominent American doctor has gone on the record to blow the whistle on a chilling practice in hospitals across the country that artificially inflated so-called “Covid deaths” during the pandemic by euthanizing patients. The “Covid protocol” was exposed by Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a board-certified Otolaryngologist and Sleep Medicine specialist. The Houston, Texas-based doctor is also the founder of BreatheMD and the author of the book “Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies.” Dr. Bowden is a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), the founder of Americans for Health Freedom, and she serves on...

Jeff Younger did everything a father could do to save his son. He fought like hell in court. He pleaded with judges. He went public. And still, his ex-wife, a radical leftist pediatrician with no biological tie to the child, was given full authority to chemically castrate their son, James, and transition him into “Luna.” James was just 8 years old. In court, Anne Georgulas admitted she conceived James and his twin brother, Jude, using in-vitro fertilization with a donor egg. She carried the pregnancy, but genetically, she isn’t the boys’ mother. That didn’t matter to the court. Ideology did....

MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns took to dramatic fearmongering on Wednesday that the ‘big, beautiful bill’ would kill trans-identifying individuals.In an article griping about President Trump’s plan to keep Medicaid from paying for transgender hormone injections, MSNBC repeated the debunked falsehood that lack of access to so-called “gender-affirming care” will cause people to die.The “one big, beautiful bill,” which passed the House and is making its way through the Senate, would prevent taxpayer dollars from funding opposite-sex hormones for adults and minors. But MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns, a freelance columnist who proclaims the title “the first openly transgender Capitol Hill reporter in U.S....

“Let’s keep this our little secret,” child predators sometimes tell their victims. This apparently was the attitude, too, of a Nevada official who was hiding youth “trans” castration surgeries from parents. This man was also using a loophole to get Medicaid (our tax dollars) to pay for the sexual-distortion treatments (SDTs).This time, however, the dark secret has been brought to light, by an undercover operation by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG). As that organization reported Friday (note: the official, being woke, uses the wrong pronouns to identify a cited youth):Deshaun Eli Mack, a Family Services Specialist with the Nevada DHHS [Department...

The lives of untold thousands have been lost or permanently diminished.It is an undeniable scandal of mammoth proportions, but one that is – surprise, surprise – still being ignored by major media. It all began in February of 2021, shortly after Joe Biden took the oath of office with the pandemic still raging. Health officials in Israel sent a dire warning to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) detailing “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people” who received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Many doctors and vaccinated individuals witnessed the same phenomenon here in the US. The affliction strikes...

COVID vaccines cause myocarditis, which is debilitating and deadly. The Israelis told Team Biden in February 2021. Team Biden kept a lid on that. So now we learn not only that Joe Biden has Stage Five prostate cancer, but that starting in February 2021, the POC/LGBTQ committee that was operating Biden like a Muppet concealed, then downplayed the risk of heart disease from the COVID vaccines. It’s funny how we find out all this dirt, within 48 hours after the committee’s announcement about Joe’s cancer. Because he’s got a few months to live, he’s now officially the “Fall Guy.” Everything...

Defending Education is taking parental rights to court, suing the state of Colorado over its outrageous and arguably unconstitutional new groomer law. You might remember the recently passed Colorado legislation to fund castration of “trans” kids with taxpayer dollars and in spite of parents' wishes, to mandate pro-trans policies in schools, to criminalize “deadnaming,” and to take supposed “misgendering” into account in custody cases. Defending Education, an organization that stands for parents and against woke indoctrination in schools, is suing the Democrat-run state over the extremely harmful legislation. Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, Protect Kids Colorado, Do No Harm, and Dr....
