Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.

Did your priests accept JobKeeper during COVID pandemic?
If so, why?

Everyone knows that Donald Trump has never met a dictator, tyrant, or despot that he didn’t like. And while we’ve all heard about his love for Putin, Orban, Xi, and Kim, here are some other ruthless tyrants anddiabolical villains that Trump has met over the years. A looong 🧵 1/21
