Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Judge Extends Hold on Trump’s Order Denying Gender-Affirming Care to Transgender Youth

HeadlineMar 05, 2025

A federal judge has extended a temporary injunction blocking Trump’s executive order attempting to shut down nationwide access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 19. The judge’s order means federal funding for hospitals and clinics that provide the care will remain in place. ACLU attorney Joshua Block welcomed the decision, writing, “As Judge Hurson has said himself, it is hard to fathom a form of discrimination more nefarious than that which pretends the group of people being targeted doesn’t even exist.”
