GET ME REWRITE: House GOP is a vipers' nest of transphobia


HeadlineNew York Times, 1/14/2025

There is no bottom to the GOP's ugly, hateful, divisive behavior
The decision by Republicans to bring up a bill cracking down on transgender rights in the second week of Congress indicated that they believe the issue continues to be politically potent for them. During the 2024 presidential election season, the Trump campaign spent more than $37 million on television ads dealing with transgender issues, nearly 20 percent of its overall ad budget, according to data provided by AdImpact, an organization that tracks political ad placement and spending. 
Democrats also noted how small a population was at stake. There are about 510,000 athletes competing at the N.C.A.A. level, Representative Suzanne Bonamici, Democrat of Oregon, noted, and just 10 are transgender.[emphasis added}

Yup, the GOP has a solution in search of a problem.  As usual, they're playing politics with people's lives.
