Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

1. The far right is falsely spreading that a new study shows that surgery "doubles depression" for transgender people.
This is an egregious misreading of the study, which does not look at transgender people before and after surgery.

Today, not long after 3:00 PM, the US Senate will vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a transgender sports ban applying to youth and sports from dancing to darts and evenChess. If 7 Democrats flip on this motion, we will likely get a national sports ban in the US.
