TRUMP v. ORR JACKSON, J., dissenting identity. From 1992 to 2010, passport applicants who wished to obtain passports with sex markers that were dif- ferent from the sex assigned to them at birth had to submit evidence of surgical reassignment. In 2010, the State De- partment began allowing passport applicants to submit a doctor’s certification avowing that they had undergone clin- ical treatment for gender transition. Beginning in 2021, the State Department allowed applicants to self-select the sex marker that matched their gender identity. Through it all, the indisputable point of a passport re- mained: to “attes[t] to the identity and nationality of the bearer.” 22 CFR §51.1 (2024). The State Department’s sex- marker policies have thus long demonstrated that what is important for identification purposes is the bearer’s gender identity today. No matter. On January 22, 2025, the agency overhauled the rules for sex markers on passports, reverting to its pre- 1992 practices. Its Passport Policy now requires that all new passports reflect the holders’ sex assigned at birth. Why? Because two days earlier, on January 20, President Trump issued Executive Order No. 14168, characterizing transgender identity as “false” and “corrosive” to American society. 90 Fed. Reg. 8615 (2025). The order asserted that “the policy of the United States” is “to recognize two sexes, male and female,” which it defined based on the sex as- signed “at conception.” Ibid. And the order directed the Secretary of State to require that any new government-is- sued identification documents reflect the holder’s “biologi- cal” sex. Id., at 8615–8616. The State Department re- sponded by rescinding its prior sex-identification policies moving forward; transgender Americans who had previ- ously obtained passports with sex markers reflecting their gender identity rather than their sex assigned at birth could continue to use those documents until they expire. Several transgender Americans w

Cite as: 607 U. S. ____ (2025) 9 JACKSON, J., dissenting President from carrying out these supposedly legitimate ob- jectives. Thus, the Government’s asserted harm from being sub- jected to the injunction—its only asserted harm—is that the President cannot, at least for now, enact his preferred poli- cies regarding sex markers on U. S. passports. Even as- suming, arguendo, that this purported injury counts as ir- reparable harm, it does not suffice to justify the extraordinary equitable remedy of a stay pending appeal.5 What the Government needs (and what it does not have) is an explanation for why it faces harm unless the Presi- dent’s chosen policy is implemented now. It suggests that there is an urgent foreign policy interest in dictating sex markers on passports, but does not elaborate as to what that interest might possibly be. All the Government is able to muster is the statement that “the injunction forces the government to misrepresent the sex of passport holders to foreign nations” and to “contradict . . . biological reality.” Application for Stay of Injunction 34. But how urgent can this interest be when the Passport Policy itself allows transgender Americans who already have passports with sex markers reflecting their current gender identity to con- tinue using those passports until they expire? The Government also insists that gender identity is not a meaningful basis for identification—strangely begging the question why sex markers are required on passports at all.

The Supreme Court's decision to let the Trump White House implement its anti-trans passport policy is vile, and I appreciate Jackson going out of her way to include in her dissent, for the record, the administration's language justifying the policy. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

NEW: In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, a pair of Democratic senators said the DOJ’s efforts to seize voter data from states “appear to be driven by blind allegiance to the President’s unlawful” sweeping anti-voting order and pose serious privacy risks.

Stephen Miller turns the inciting rhetoric up to 11: "We go to homes -- 13, 14, 15 year old children who are raped on a daily basis because the Biden administration, the Democrat Party, chose to traffic them into this country."

Trump is leading the most anti-Veteran administration IN HISTORY.

The calls for lethal force against US civilians doesn't happen in an isolated vacuum, it's part of a broader operation, Trump aligned propagandists have been pushing for it since the raids began.

For example, Trump's alleged mistress and close confidant here priming MAGA for the next steps:

Everything the troll farms do is scripted and coordinated, the narratives they prepare and the individuals they attack are chosen by real people, those people are aligned or tied to Trump, Israel, and Russia. The coordination between the three is organized through third parties not direct ops.

The rate of calls for "lethal force" to be used against American citizens by MAGA aligned Israeli-Russian troll farms has significantly escalated in the last 48 hours.

This is a significant escalation by the MAGA ecosphere as their call for violence extends nationwide.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."

If Bill Clinton was a member of Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison forever.

If Donald Trump was a member of Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison forever.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Double checked this and yes we have a fatality from yesterday’s ICE raid in Camarillo.

Jaime Garcia is to be removed from life support today after falling 30 feet while running from ICE agents.

Okay, well if you can sue judges, who wants to file a lawsuit against Aileen Cannon with me?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Emil Bove’s “fuck you” to courts whose orders he’d opt to defy should abruptly end his path through the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court. His nomination is well and truly fucked. End of.

What's sad if we impeach him Trump would nominate Janine Pirro for supreme Court. Terrifying
