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.

    I say this fully aware that the Democrats are on the wrong side of lots of issues that I care about, but there is no issue where they are worse than the Republicans. We can help by fixing the culture. Politicians are not good at doing the work of activists. (And activists generally make lousy politicians

    Pro war Democrats are worse on the issue of foreign policy than the 1 or 2 anti war Republicans.

    They’re worse only on foreign policy, but they are worse.

      1 or 2 Republicans? That’s such a creative way to do logic that I’m impressed!

      Yeah, I totally concede. Straight up. In fact, I’ll bet that the average Democrat is worse than 1 or 2 Republicans on every issue! You fucking got me, LOL.

        Disapproving something only takes a single counter example. You’ve obviously never taken a class on Logic since you seem to believe otherwise.

        EDIT: Here is the beginner level text book on how that logic works, if you want to actually learn something: click to actually learn about logic! 😀

        Thomas Massie, an absolute shit bird of an evil human being has better foreign policy views on Iarael then Biden, or any Democratic member that supports the genocide.

        He is wrong on everything else.

          You’re lecturing me on logic yet you haven’t even mastered basic reading comprehension. “Republicans” is not the same as “all Republicans” or “every Republican”. Had I used either of those you might have had a point but I didn’t because I’m not an idiot.
