6. The judge ruled the ban relied on unscientific definitions of sex that barred intersex people from bathrooms: “Under the Act, however, transgender people cannot use sex-separated facilities that correspond with their gender identity and intersex people cannot use sex-separated facilities at all.”

5. The judge also ruled that transgender status and sex are private, and protected by the Montana state constitution.

4. “The Act fails strict scrutiny because it is motivated by animus and supported by no evidence that its restrictions advance its purported purpose to protect women’s safety and privacy," said the judge.

What We Know About the Detentions of Student Protesters The Trump administration is looking to deport pro-Palestinian students who are legally in the United States, citing national security. Critics say that violates free speech protections.

The US is cutting its funding for Gavi, an organization that has undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of children by scaling up vaccine access and introducing new vaccines to routine immunization programs. This cut will put millions of kids' lives, and global public health, at risk.
