A federal appellate court in Richmond made a big decision. They said that health insurance plans in states have to cover surgeries that help transgender people feel more like themselves.

This is a huge win for transgender rights, especially since there's been a lot of pushback against them.

Supreme Court appears open to some presidential immunity for Trump, risking delays ....

The Supreme Court justices were like, "Nah, I don't think so," when Trump's lawyers said he couldn't be held accountable for trying to overthrow the government or have someone killed.

“I’m trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country,”
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ...

I just saw a comment to a mutual that just straight up said “Nothing Joe Biden ever does will ever be enough to get my vote" and then expressed surprise that Biden isn't gunning for their vote.

Protections like this are critical for maintaining vital ecosystems and the abundance of biodiversity. I’m grateful for the Biden administration’s commitment to restoring and protecting our natural landscapes and ensuring wildlife can thrive for future generations.

Healthy outdoor spaces for people and wildlife benefits everyone.

Kennedy used to be an environmentalist. His current positions on the environment are more libertarian, since he doesn't believe in cutting greenhouse gasses through regulation or jump-starting green energy with subsidies. He wants to let the market work its “wonders.”

He's also a crypto fan, which generates about 23 metric tons of CO2 annually.

His friends and colleagues at NRDC are right.

NY AG,, Letitia James, filed a request on Friday seeking the invalidation of Trump's bond in the ongoing civil fraud case against him.
The concern raised by James revolves around the financial capability of the company that issued the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, to fully secure the $175 million bond amount.

Additionally, she emphasized the need for the collateral provided by the former president to be under the complete control of the insurance company.

The Biden Administration just announced historic protections for 13 million acres of Alaska’s Western Arctic from drilling and the safeguarding of the Brooks Range and the Gates of the Arctic.

This is important and consequential action and who fills Cabinet positions really matters. Elections matter.

President Biden's got a new plan to help people with student loans. He wants to give some money back to people who are struggling to pay, like those who have been paying for over 20 years or went to schools that didn't really help them get good jobs. He's also going to help people who have a lot of unpaid interest on their loans. About 25 million people could get some of their loans forgiven or at least have to pay less.

January 6 rioters want the Supreme Court to let them off the hook from obstruction charge

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday from a former Pennsylvania police officer who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a case that could undermine federal charges against more than 350 rioters. 👀

The court’s decision could also have significant ramifications for former President Trump, who was charged with the same criminal offense. 😱 #SCOTUS #January6 #Trump

Trump Media's stock took a nosedive after they announced that current investors can use their stock warrants.

This happened at the same time as Trump went to court in Manhattan to start picking the jury for his trial on charges related to hush money.

Trump is the majority stakeholder in Trump Media, which created the Truth Social app and trades under the stock ticker DJT on the Nasdaq.

The trial of the former president is continuing, and they're still picking the jury.

Trump’s hush-money trial in Manhattan is continuing today with more jury selection.

Yesterday was a big day in American history when jury selection started. He’s the first president or former president to ever go on trial for a crime.

Governor Ron DeSantis just signed something that stops cities and counties from making rules to protect workers from the extreme heat.
Two million people in Florida work outside in that hot, humid weather, and all they've been asking for is some basic stuff like breaks, water, and shade when it gets really hot. They've been trying to get these rules for years, and now, just when they were about to get them in Miami-Dade County, this new law comes along and blocks it.
