Today, we’re celebrating trans communities’ vibrancy and perseverance in the face of attacks on their very existence -- and fighting for a future when all our trans and nonbinary siblings can safely live authentically and freely.

Trump has set up an “electronic mailbox” for corporations to ask him for exemptions to the Clean Air Act.
The exemptions would allow companies to pollute the air with mercury, which can cause brain damage and birth defects.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.
