Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Trump is expected to sign an executive order barring transgender women and girls from competing on sports teams matching their gender identity.

Rep. Nancy Mace will stand alongside Trump as he signs the order, titled "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports." Legal experts question its enforceability without changes to Title IX or court rulings.

The move follows years of Republican efforts to restrict trans rights, contrasting with Biden’s attempts to expand protections.

See how much he cares about protecting women's sports? Next up, kill the Dept of Education and Title IX and essentially destroy opportunities for women in sports.

Oh, so that's what he meant when he said he'd lower prices for eggs.

Executive orders are not laws, so they can't actual impact anything not controlled by executive policy unless some bigots or cowards proactively obey (which happened with hospitals already). Your local sports league doesn't need to check with the president about who they let play. Even colleges, which receive more federal money, aren't bound by whatever the president feels like.

What are they gonna do, chromosome test every single female athlete? This is impossible to enforce. Won't stop them from trying, of course >_>

No, they'll just attack any women they don't think is pretty enough.

No, not every woman, just the black and brown ones.

This is going to be enforced the exact same way the war on drugs is; selectively based on perceived race.

Mostly, but it truly is just any woman they want to demean. JK Rowling got a taste of transvestigations from her own audience without the slightest slip of irony acknowledged, she just called it sexist.

This is the most juvenile take I've ever read

I'm glad the god emperors undeniably beautiful regime is focusing on the most important problems facing us, like this.
