➡️ There are a number of legal issues to keep track of today, starting with the Supreme Court allowing Trump to continue blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing the passport marker that aligns with their gender identity — at least for now.
Meanwhile, a drag ban in Texas may not be dead after all thanks to a federal appeals court, and a bill in Wisconsin would allow gender-affirming care patients to sue their doctors.
We also get a jury decision on the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a Border Patrol officer, and we take a closer look at Kim Davis’s appeal against marriage equality as the Supreme Court prepares to decide whether they’ll hear her case.
Until tomorrow,
