Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration and advising schools to ignore the new federal Title IX changes that expand sex discrimination protection to students who identify as the opposite sex, or transgender.
The rule change, published on April 19, formalizes the Department of Education’s redefinition of the meaning of sex to include gender identity.
The changes, which go into effect Aug. 1, give males identifying as female the right to use female restrooms, locker rooms, and join female-only organizations. Under the new rule, “harassment” can include the use of biologically accurate pronouns.
Title IX is a landmark 1972 civil rights law meant to protect females from discrimination based on sex in federally funded educational programs and provide them equal opportunities.
Schools and colleges that fail to comply with Title IX stand to lose federal dollars.
This week, 15 states have filed lawsuits accusing the federal government of overreach and changing the nature of the original law.

                                             01/12/2026 Warships from China, Russia, and Iran have officially docked in South Africa to commence the "Will for Peace 2026" joint naval drills, a provocative display of unity among the expanded BRICS alliance . The exercises, hosted at the strategic Simon’s Town naval base near Cape Town, are led by China and include advanced vessels like the Chinese destroyer Tangshan, the Russian corvette Stoikiy, and Iran’s massive expeditionary sea base IRIS Makran.

By conducting these maneuvers at a key ch...

THE SENATE BILL WILL BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE HOUSE !!!

BATTLE ON THE HILL!!!!! The agreement holds the potential to allocate $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel, yet its passage through the House appears doubtful. House Republicans have deemed the bill a non-starter unless it incorporates essential components from H.R.2, the House GOP border bill. With Senate Democrats dismissing H.R.2, tensions persist.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-releases-long-awaited-border-legislation Meanwhile, Johnson vowed to put $17.6 billion in emergency funding on the House floor next week to give Israel assistance. The package has the backing of Senate leaders and the Biden administration, who have said the funding is for the two U.S. allies ($60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel) coupled with a bipartisan agreement that will provide approximately $20 billion to control illegal immigration at the southern border, where numbers hit a record 2.4 million encounters in FY 23. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heres-whats-in-...
