#10 Supreme Court Lets Red State Enforce Ban On Child Sex Changes - Kate Anderson for The Daily Caller and Gays Against Groomers on X
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Idaho could enforce its ban on sex-change surgeries for minors. The law passed in 2023 bars doctors from prescribing hormone therapy, puberty blockers, or performing sex-change operations such as a mastectomy, vaginoplasty, or phalloplasty on minor patients. The law was challenged by two families with children who identify as transgender in July 2023 alongside the American Civil Liberties Union and put on hold by a lower court in December, but the Supreme Court ordered that the stay be removed to allow the law to go into effect...#9 Rfk Jr. Claims Trump ‘Emissaries’ Asked Him to Serve as Trump’s Running Mate - Alex Nitzberg for Blaze Media and RFK Jr. on X
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed that former President Donald Trump's "emissaries" asked him to serve as Trump's running mate. Chris LaCivita, a Trump campaign senior advisor, claimed that nobody from Trump's campaign has reached out to Kennedy about serving as vice president. "Re-upping this from January …was true then, and it's true now @RobertfKennedJr ….your a leftie loonie that would never be approached to be on the ticket..sorry!" LaCivita tweeted while sharing a January post in which he had declared, "NO ONE from the Trump Campaign ever approached RFK jr (or ever will) - one of the most LIBERAL and radical environmentalists in the country." "President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I'm soooo liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer," Kennedy tweeted... Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers in Boston on Friday announced the arrest of a Brazilian national accused of multiple child sex crimes in Massachusetts. The 53-year-old individual entered the U.S. in September 2001 with authorization to remain until March 2002 but failed to leave at that date. He later voluntarily left the U.S. in 2008 but returned at an unknown date without being inspected by immigration officials. Police later arrested the individual in 2021 on indecent assault, battery on a child, and rape of a child charges. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the time sent an immigration detainer request, which requests an incarcerated individual be held for an additional 48 hours, to the Middlesex County House of Corrections where he was being held... Skeptical consumers are not rushing out to buy the electric vehicles that virtue-signaling, climate-obsessed elites have tried to sell them. On Monday, Reuters reported that the EV-manufacturing behemoth Tesla would slash 10 percent of its global workforce. Meanwhile, two top Tesla executives announced their departure from the company. News of the layoffs came via an internal company memo in which Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained the decision. “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity,” Musk wrote in the memo... California officials on Monday sued Huntington Beach over a new law that lets the city require voters to provide identification to cast ballots at the polls starting in 2026. State Attorney General Rob Bonta said the measure approved by voters in the Southern California city of nearly 200,000 people stands in conflict with state law and could make it harder for poor, non-white, young, elderly, and disabled voters to cast ballots. State officials previously warned that the measure to amend the city’s charter would suppress voter participation and are asking a court to block it from taking effect, he said. Is this year’s tax season the calm before the real storm? Sure, it doesn’t feel like a calm (is anyone else seething, or is it just me?), but compared to what Joe Biden has coming down the pike if he manages to “win” another election…. A federal judge has ordered Texas health and human services officials to pay $100,000 per day in fines for routinely neglecting investigations into allegations of abuse and neglect by children in the state’s beleaguered foster care system, according to a Monday order. U.S. District Judge Janis Jack found Texas Health and Human Services Commissioner Cecile E. Young in contempt of her court orders to fix the way the state investigates complaints by children in its care. It is the third time the state has been held in contempt of court orders since a 2011 lawsuit was filed about foster care conditions in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the child welfare arm of HHS. NPR has formally punished Uri Berliner, the senior editor who publicly argued a week ago that the network had "lost America's trust" by approaching news stories with a rigidly progressive mindset. Berliner's five-day suspension without pay, which began last Friday, has not been previously reported. Yet the public radio network is grappling in other ways with the fallout from Berliner's essay for the online news site The Free Press. It angered many of his colleagues, led NPR leaders to announce monthly internal reviews of the network's coverage, and gave fresh ammunition to conservative and partisan Republican critics of NPR, including former President Donald Trump...
