HRC Article:

WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.

Biden’s press release:

No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.

    Seems to me that Biden took away the strikers power to give them scraps

    Seems to me that your talking out of your ass.

    and the centrists want to be thanked and praised for that dogs dinner.

    I didn’t link you to the centrists asking for credit, I linked to the union giving them credit.

    On Khan, yes Biden deserves some praise for that anti trust work.

    And consumer protections. Khan did good work on both.

    Whenever Biden does something progressive (and not centrist), we all seem to agree that its praiseworthy. Weird eh?

    Uh, no? Not weird at all. Credit where credit is due, and condemnation where that’s appropriate as well. I’ve got all kinds of problems with the Biden presidency. Gaza is probably the biggest one I have, but there are plenty of valid criticisms domestically as well.

          Then you just somehow missed them. Look back at the comment with the link attached to it. I’m not going to read it back to you. I’m not your mother.
