Screenshot of New York Times article with text from an additional paragraph that didn’t fit: Justice Kavanaugh told those gathered that he thought the justices were being asked more frequently to weigh in on presidential actions because gridlock in Congress has led presidents to do more through executive orders, which have then been challenged in court. It is an argument he has made previously from the bench and in public appearances. He added that such emergency requests are "not a new phenomenon" and had been on the rise during the Biden administration as well. He pointed to an emergency request by the Biden administration to keep in place access to a widely available abortion drug, mifepristone, as a lower court heard a challenge to the drug's approval. Justice Jackson, however, pushed back and suggested the court's actions under Mr. Trump represented a departure. Previously, she argued, the court had used emergency orders largely to maintain the status quo. Yet in the Trump administration, she said the court was signing off on new policies. In the mifepristone example, she said, the drug had already been in use for decades, and the Biden administration wanted to maintain access, not seek a new policy or change.

Howling at Brett Kavanaugh trying to act like the Supreme Court isn’t in the tank for Trump on the shadow docket because it sided with the Biden administration to keep the status quo on the abortion pill. He thought he was so clever but KBJ quickly dispensed with him

Trans Children are not a Threat Vote against any legislation banning transgender students from participating in school sports. These bills are a cynical political strategy that scapegoats vulnerable children, not a response to any real problem. The numbers tell the story. In Michigan, out of 175,000 student athletes across 890 school districts, only two transgender girls received waivers to compete in 2025. The following school year, zero waivers were even requested. There is no evidence that transgender athletes dominate competitions or disproportionately win. Research from California and Connecticut shows that where transgender athletes compete according to their gender identity, overall participation in girls' sports has actually increased. Transgender youth represent less than 1% of the population. They're not a threat to fairness in athletics. If you genuinely care about girls' sports, address the real issues: funding disparities, resource gaps, and unequal media attention compared to boys' programs. These bans violate Title IX protections and state civil rights statutes while subjecting all female athletes to invasive scrutiny. Transgender students are asking for the same thing every student deserves: the chance to participate in school activities and belong. Don't use children as political pawns. https://hbtwfund.substack.com/p/how-trans-kids-became-americas-new

Why Can We Can Spend $1 Billion a Day on War But Not Help the American People The American people deserve a clear explanation for a simple and disturbing reality: The United States can spend billions of dollars on war almost instantly — but somehow cannot find the money to fund the basic needs of its own citizens. Within the first 24 hours of the U.S. military operation against Iran, the United States spent approximately $779 million on missiles, aircraft sorties, bombers, and combat operations. Estimates now place the cost of the war at roughly $1 billion per day, with the first 100 hours alone costing about $3.7 billion. Experts warn the total cost could ultimately exceed $200 billion depending on how long the conflict lasts. Let us put those numbers into perspective. $1 billion — one day of war — could instead fund: • The annual salaries of over 15,000 teachers • 20,000+ full four-year college scholarships • Healthcare coverage for hundreds of thousands of Americans • Construction of thousands of affordable housing units • Repair of dozens of public schools And that is just one day. $3.7 billion — the first 100 hours of this war — could instead fund: • Universal free school meals for millions of children for years • Tens of thousands of new nurses and healthcare workers • Major upgrades to aging public school infrastructure nationwide • Large-scale investments in rural hospitals that are currently closing across the country If this conflict reaches $200 billion, that money could instead: • Provide universal childcare for years • Dramatically expand Medicare coverage • Fully fund early childhood education nationwide • Repair thousands of failing bridges and water systems • Protect and strengthen retirement security through the Social Security Administration Yet Americans are repeatedly told that investments in their own wellbeing are “too expensive.” We are told that: • Public schools must operate with shortages • Healthcare expansion is unaffordable • Programs administered through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services must be cut • Social safety nets must be reduced because of “budget constraints” But when it comes to war, those constraints disappear overnight. Missiles costing millions of dollars each can be launched in minutes. Aircraft carriers costing billions can be deployed immediately. Entire wars can be funded faster than Congress funds classrooms. This reveals an uncomfortable truth: The issue is not whether the United States can afford to care for its people. The issue is that Congress repeatedly chooses not to. Congress controls the power of the purse. You decide what is funded and what is not. So the American people are asking a question that can no longer be ignored: Why is there always money for war — but never enough money for the people who actually live here? Until Congress answers that question honestly, every claim that we “cannot afford” to invest in education, healthcare, and retirement security will ring hollow.

Military Zealotry: Stand on Separation of Church and State U.S. military personnel are being told the current conflict with Iran is part of “God’s divine plan,” and that the President has been “anointed by Jesus” to carry it out. Multiple reports and complaints from service members show commanders have invoked biblical prophecy and Armageddon to frame military operations, representing a profound ongoing violation of the constitutional principle separating church and state. Our military exists to defend the Constitution, not to wage wars justified by any particular religious doctrine. The United States is home to people of many faiths and no faith at all. Our armed forces reflect that diversity — a diversity and freedom our Founding Fathers enshrined into the constitution. When leaders present military actions as part of a Christian prophecy, they undermine the religious freedom of service members and erode the legitimacy of the chain of command. This is not simply inappropriate rhetoric. It’s wildly dangerous. The core issue here isn’t religion. The U.S. has always had religious politicians. The real danger is apocalyptic belief mixed with command authority. Think about the chain of command: - one officer - giving orders - to soldiers who feel they cannot refuse If that officer believes a war literally fulfills prophecy, rational restraint disappears. Compromise disappears. Nuclear escalation becomes “God’s will.” That’s not politics anymore. That’s a crusade. The founders knew this. That’s why the First Amendment built a firewall between church and state. Not because they hated religion, but because they understood something brutal about human nature: give someone divine justification and a sword, and they will use both. I implore you to investigate these reports and reaffirm that U.S. military policy and decision-making must remain firmly grounded in constitutional law and democratic oversight — not some religious zealot prophecy. The founders understood the risks of mixing religious authority with state power. That principle is not optional. It is fundamental to the survival of our democracy.

Millions of Medicaid Funds Withheld From Minnesota President Trump just announced that $259 million of Medicaid funding will be held from Minnesota in response to fraud happening at the state level. Do not be mistaken President Trump used Minnesota’s fraud as a reason for ‘Operation Metro Surge’ with ICE and DHS earlier in the year. While there has been financial fraud in the state, it has been investigated and addressed at the state level. To punish the people of the state of Minnesota is punitive for a situation that they largely have no involvement in. Everyday people are being punished because there was fraud. The population of the state did not participate in fraud and should not lose access to healthcare for this. I am writing to you as this situation does not only impact the people of Minnesota. We have seen how the President responds to statements, people, and events he does not agree with in retaliation. Minnesota, and Governor Walz, are currently President Trump’s focus but they will not always be. You must take a stand against President Trump now before he turns against more of the American people.

Demented Don must go! Trump is showing more signs of his dementia in the past month at least. It looks like he was talked into an attack on Iran by Netanyahu despite having no clear evidence of the “imminent threat” that Iran posed. He had no clear stated objective when it started, and the rationale for the war seemed to change depending on who asked for it. It is clear that he had no appreciation for the collateral results that would occur. Eight US deaths so far. About $13 billions cost of war over 13 days. The depletion of missiles faster than they can be produced, drawing down our stocks and increasing our vulnerability to attacks from different bad actors. Iran’s control over the Straits of Hormuz, basically shutting down 20% of the world’s oil supply and subsequent rapid rise in oil and gas prices. That contribution to increased inflation. He switches between calling it a war and an “excursion”. He had said that he would accept the result of an investigation into the destruction of a girl’s school, then after the conclusion that it had been a US Tomahawk missile, “I don’t know anything about it”, followed by “other countries have Tomahawks”. It is clear that there was no comprehensive plan on objectives, effects on our allies in the area, costs of the war at home including increased domestic terror threats. In response to the Hormuz blockade he encouraged ships to have guts and just sail through. So far 4 tankers have been destroyed. Time to get Demented Don out before he causes more disasters.

Gas Prices Rising, Troops Dying — Congress Must Act on Iran Nine days into the escalating war with Iran, the United States faces growing economic, humanitarian, and strategic risks. Congress cannot remain on the sidelines while the nation moves deeper into a potentially catastrophic conflict. Global energy markets are already reacting. Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel and recently climbed past $115 amid fears that instability in the Persian Gulf could disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas shipments pass. Economists warn that the conflict risks triggering a global energy shock that could slow economic growth while driving prices higher — the classic conditions of stagflation. Americans are already feeling the impact. Gasoline prices have risen sharply in the past week, and economists warn that sustained oil prices above $100 could push inflation higher while weakening economic growth. If the conflict continues, analysts warn that oil prices could climb significantly further, raising the risk of recession in multiple regions of the global economy. The humanitarian consequences are equally alarming. A devastating strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school in Minab killed more than 160 people, most of them children. Video evidence and satellite analysis indicate that a U.S. Tomahawk missile struck a nearby Iranian military compound at the time of the attack. U.S. officials have acknowledged that the incident is under investigation, and international organizations have called for a full accounting of what occurred. If confirmed, this tragedy demands transparency and accountability. The United States must uphold the highest standards for protecting civilians in armed conflict. The war is also already costing American lives. Officials confirmed that at least seven U.S. service members were killed in an Iranian drone strike on a U.S. base in Kuwait. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned that “there will be more casualties” as the conflict continues. At the same time, the Pentagon reports that thousands of targets have already been struck and that the campaign may expand further. This raises serious concerns about escalation, mission creep, and the possibility of another prolonged war in the Middle East without clear limits or defined objectives. The Constitution grants Congress clear authority over matters of war and military funding. That authority exists precisely to prevent the United States from drifting into open-ended conflicts without democratic accountability. Congress should act immediately to: • Demand a full briefing on the objectives, scope, and legal basis of current military operations. • Require transparent reporting on civilian casualties, including the Minab school strike investigation. • Clarify the limits of U.S. military engagement and insist on a clear strategy to prevent escalation. • Exercise its authority over appropriations to ensure continued military action reflects the will of the American people. The United States must protect its security while avoiding a wider regional war that could cost many more American and civilian lives, destabilize global markets, and weaken our nation. Congress must reclaim its constitutional role and ensure that America does not slide deeper into another prolonged conflict without authorization, oversight, and a defined path toward de-escalation.

Oppose Adult Gender-Affirming Care Bans That Trample Trans Rights I need you to oppose any legislation that would ban or restrict gender-affirming care for transgender adults, and to support full Medicaid coverage for medically necessary transition-related care. The Fourth Circuit just ruled that West Virginia can exclude gender-affirming surgery from Medicaid, declaring it constitutional for states to "encourage citizens to appreciate their sex" by denying care. This is the first federal appeals court to extend the Supreme Court's Skrmetti decision on youth care bans to adults. The court called adult transgender care "dangerous" and "arguably ineffective" despite a 40-year follow-up study showing high patient satisfaction, improved outcomes, and zero patient regret. You can read more here: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/4th-circuit-rules-that-states-can The ruling's logic is dangerous. The court claims no discrimination exists because the ban applies equally to transgender and cisgender people seeking care for gender dysphoria. But cisgender people don't seek that care, making the equality purely theoretical. This is the same reasoning Virginia used to defend its ban on interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia, arguing it applied equally to Black and white citizens. The Supreme Court rejected that argument in 1967. If states can constitutionally "encourage citizens to appreciate their sex," nothing stops them from banning gender markers on IDs, criminalizing cross-gender clothing, or mandating conversion therapy. Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts already announced adult care bans are their next target, calling for states to "outlaw it" entirely. Transgender adults deserve access to evidence-based medical care. These bans trample on trans rights. Stand against them.
