Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
What better way to start 2026 than suing the Trump administration? That’s right: HRC Foundation is launching a class action on behalf of federal workers and their families.
We will not sit back and let these dedicated public servants lose vital health care coverage without a fight.
Graphic. Text says: Breaking news. Trump, RFK Jr., and "Dr." Oz propose multiple rules that would effectively ban best-practice health care for trans youth. Photos of Dr. Oz, Trump, and RFK Jr. are visible, along with the HRC logo.
🧵 The Trump administration just proposed two rules that would effectively ban best-practice health care for trans youth.
Here’s what you need to know:
Mike Johnson's Priorities:
What the House GOP is voting on today:
A bill to criminalize health care for trans youth that could throw doctors and parents in jail for 10yrs
What they are NOT voting on today:
A bill to extend health tax credits that would prevent rising costs for 24M Americans
.@hrc.org showed the power of our movement in the Peach State. We endorsed Rep.-elect Gisler last week and provided final field push, engaging our 1,000 members and 7,000 Equality Voters in HD-121.
And we're just getting started in Georgia.
@wsj.com needs to hear from ALL of us. Take action now to demand a retraction and apology for its dangerous and misleading coverage: hrc.im/wsj
News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth.
Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.
Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.
MORE OF THIS.
"Beshear's biggest applause line came when he explained why he vetoed a bill in 2023, when he was up for reelection, that restricted some medical care and bathroom use for transgender people..."There are some things worth losing over," Beshear said."

Tony has always been the epitome of a public servant--a public servant who won 5 statewide races in the purplest state in the union and did it by being authentically himself: Kind. Tough. Empathetic. Nerdy. Even sometimes boring! And Wisconsin is forever indebted to his leadership. Team Tony 4ever!
@lambdalegalceo.bsky.social is spot on. Where would we be had our ancestors waited until the time was "right" to demand their civil liberties?
We must carry their fight forward — now. Our communities deserve it and the moment demands it.
With news that the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care was pulled from the reconciliation bill, I'm breathing a sigh of relief.
But it's important to remember that this bill is still awful for the community. LGBTQ+ people are more likely than average to depend on Medicaid for their health care.
I worked at Planned Parenthood.
They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
Among all the terrible stuff in this bill, some good news: we successfully got Republicans to back off their provision to strip gender-affirming care in their budget bill. It's not included in the final text, and will not be voted on.
HUGE NEWS: Senate Parliamentarian has rightfully struck provision from GOP reconciliation bill restricting Medicaid/CHIP from covering gender affirming care for trans people of all ages.
Still, this bill is a garbage fire and must be defeated.
Pride has always been a protest, but a protest is always better with show tunes! Thanks to @senatorhick.govpeeps.us, @baldwin.senate.gov, @schatz.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov, @rosen.senate.gov and Jeffrey Seller for making this "guerrilla theater" happen tonight! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/a...
The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.
Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.
In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.
You have a home here always.
Reporters covering Skrmetti: We have real people who will face real consequences from this decision available to talk to you today, as I'm sure does every other major LGBTQ+ org and the ACLU. There's no excuse to not include their voices in your story.
We are updating the @washingtonpost.com story now on the Skrmetti ruling, but I wanted to share a few feeds from my interviews today. First, HRC's senior legal director says there are still MANY pathways for fighting laws that target trans people.
Everyone who cares about our country must condemn this violent and undemocratic act against Senator Padilla. HRC’s full statement:
This decision is not only insulting to Harvey Milk and the LGBTQ+ community — it's stupid. Our country deserves leaders who take their jobs seriously, not divide our country and politicize our military.
Perhaps we should name a new Secretary of Defense instead. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...
It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.
My boss @brandonwolf.bsky.social somehow did an MSNBC hit at like 5:50 AM
it’s good, watch it
Yes, it's real. Yes, we hear the yearning for merch. We just rolled it out this morning. But keep an eye out for this at your local HRC Pride booth.
This Pride Month, we are shouting loud and clear: THESE COLORS DON’T RUN.
Our visibility has never mattered more, and neither has our strength. And as HRC’s @brandonwolf.bsky.social says, NO president can push us back into the closet.
(🎥: @msnbc.com)
The Republican-passed “big beautiful bill” takes away health insurance coverage from ALL transgender people, regardless of age.
HRC President Kelley Robinson calls it "cruel."

NEW in @washblade.bsky.social: @hrc.org PAC endorses @abigailspanberger.com for governor! We're ready to mobilize Virginia's 2 million Equality Voters to put an equality champion back in the governor's office in Richmond.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred.
As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.
One of the big jokes about Trump "protecting women's sports" from trans people is that women's sports is maybe the most progressive institution in American public life
