On Friday, the Trump administration declined to submit a court-requested sworn declaration to a federal judge, noting that the $1.8 billion so-called “anti-weaponization” fund was officially obsolete. Instead of solidifying that claim in writing, the DOJ wrote in a notice to the court, “Such declarations are unnecessary and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns.”

But the tRump administration wants to decide which citezens can vote and who can not. It is minority rule over the majority, it is single party rule like in dictatorships such as China. It is the end of democracy. All so tRump and republicans can stay in charge so the wealthy can raid the treasury and the entire wealth of the country leaving the people as slave labor to the upper class. Hugs

He talks about how important it is to let trans youth socially transition and live as the gender they identify with, and to get puberty blockers to not go through the wrong puberty. He mentions trans children figure out their gender the same way and ages that cis kids do. Hugs
