1. Trump’s DOJ is pursuing increasingly aggressive actions against medical providers in order to obtain the names, addresses, and social security numbers of trans kids. It's trying to make a list of trans kids, their families, and their medical histories.

Senators on the #moleg floor right now discussing how audio streaming listeners have a hard time distinguishing the speakers, because they don't use each other's names on the floor and voices sound alike. Sens Webber and Hough are easily distinguishable, but several are tough to figure out. 1/x

On the floor of the #moleg Senate now is SB 999 the Born Alive anti-abortion act. Democratic Senators are holding the floor talking against it, noting how the anti-abortion lobby uses the red herring of youth gender affirming care, which is already statutorily illegal.

Chair Carter (R) conducted most of the hearing without a quorum being present. It was difficult to hear the roll call, but nearly 3/4 through witness testimony (almost entirely opposition) Sens Hudson (R) and O'Laughlin (R) showed up to make the hearing official. Only support for bill was lobbyists

The more I watch #moleg Representative Proudie, the more I am impressed. Absolutely roasting the mediocrities from the Republican party that are handed bills that they do not even fully understand. 🔥🔥😆

HB 1663, the sports ban bill scheduled for tomorrow 8am, and HB 2536 the sex designation and anti-trans bathroom bill scheduled for Weds 8am. Curiously the bill titling for HB 2536 seems different than the string from the House. @lizsaila.bsky.social

Missouri #moleg #mosen Senate Families Seniors and Health committee has noticed up an anti-LGBT bathroom bill to be heard this Wednesday, April 29, 8 AM. Chair Carter (R), as typical, schedules a 2 hour block hearing with hearing immediately after to push everyone out. 1/3

Michael movie is truly amazing, they brought to life his energy and genius

Missouri #moleg Senate Education committee has noticed up hearing for HB 1663, the consolidated anti-transgender sports bill to be heard Tuesday, April 28th, 8 AM. house.mo.gov/bill.aspx?bi...

Interesting debate on the floor of the #moleg Senate. Sen. Moon (R) made a resolution to video stream Senate proceedings, and several (R) Senators are trying to kill that resolution. Resolution is tabled, failing 12 to 11. No sunlight on the Senate today

Republican states are marching toward Idaho’s extremism on bathrooms. Missouri is next. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

NEW: Three rulings in the past week show the scope and breadth of efforts to fight anti-trans attacks. A Montana Supreme Court decision protecting birth certificates, a ruling on Trump's anti-trans prison policies, and final judgment vacating RFK Jr.'s anti-trans "declaration." Law Dork:

The Missouri House passed a bill Monday that would force entities receiving state funding to restrict usage of restrooms, changing areas and sleeping accommodations based on biological sex and codify definitions for “female,” “male” and “sex” throughout state statute. #moleg #mogov

Today, #moleg Missouri House third read and passed HB 2536 a sex designation and bathroom ban against transgender people. There are several anti-LGBT bills now moving to or in the #mosen Senate with 4 weeks left in this session.

Arch 106.5 played Poker Face right into Careless Whisper. Yooooo ❤️❤️

Missouri #moleg has brought to the floor HB 2536, a sex designation bathroom ban against transgender people. house.mo.gov/default.aspx

SB 1085 has been brought to the #moleg senate floor. This is the teacher speech ban regarding youth transition. www.senate.mo.gov/BillTracking...

1. Last year, I created the Comprehensive Anti-Trans Policy and Litigation Map, or CATPALM, with the aim of making trans policy research more accessible. Many people have found it helpful, but I think I can do better. I present to you CATPALM 2.0! transitics.substack.com/p/transitics...

Any bets, #moleg ?

Wondering if Trump praising Allah on Easter will be met with the same Republican fury that Transgender Day of Visibility daring to land on Easter did in 2024

Senate Bill 1085, the school teacher speech ban against encouraging minors in social transition, has cleared committee and is put on the Senate formal calendar. This means the #moleg Senate leaders can call it up for debate at any time. www.senate.mo.gov/BillTracking...

Attended the St Louis Transgender Day of Visibility March for Our Lives tonight. Good weather and turnout, it was warmer than last year! Speakers reminded us of the importance of community and love. LGBTQ is one movement. ❤️

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility. Sending love. ❤️

revisiting the ancient ritual where i tell ppl presidents can do things & they insist presidents can't do the things bc if they could then biden would be doing the things & they accuse me of trolling & being bad at my job & block me & 2yrs later a president immediately does all the things

Great turnout and energy, No Kings rally! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇲

At the No Kings Rally great turnout. Funny moment some dude starts shouting, "white power, white power" out the side of a Hyundai. 😄🤣

During committee hearing #moleg Rep. Melissa Schmidt used NYTimes misrepresentation of AMA's policy to urge making the SAFE act permanent. AMA has responded and reiterates their position is unchanged, and supports gender affirming care. Link below.

The three flavors of Missouri Republican political thought: Garbage, recycled, and the unread constitution. #moleg

Is it any wonder people feel the system is rigged?

The second anti-LGBT hearing for today was typical from Chair Senator Jill Carter. She schedules multiple contentious bills for a narrow 2 hour block, with a hearing immediately afterwards to push everyone out. Witnesses get 1 min to testify, some no time at all. house.mo.gov/bill.aspx?bi...

Last night #moleg conservatives, like Nick Schroer, were celebrating the lawsuit against alleged Biden era 'censorship'. Today they get down to the business of censoring drag performers exercising their 1st Amendment rights. www.senate.mo.gov/BillTracking...

Staggeringly hypocritical remarks from #moleg Missouri Senator Carter on the Senate floor, who wants to keep county Sheriffs accountable to local voters and not State entities. How did Sen Carter vote to take over the SLMPD? Ohh, she voted for that alright!

Missouri Senator Rick Brattin running the #moleg Education commitee is arguing with a witness and made the extraordinary claim that other religions like Hinduism and Native American religions are "made up and false"

Seen language very similar to this to describe drag performances as 'sexually oriented material'. The added language about 'gender dysphoria and transgenderism' makes this clear it would target drag and trans people in any kind of expressive medium.

The #moleg Senate Families, Seniors and Health committee has scheduled hearings for HB 2033, 1608, 1672, & 1854, bills that make permanent the ban on trans youth healthcare. Wednesday, March 25, 8AM, conveniently the same time as other anti-LGBT bill hearings that day. house.mo.gov/bill.aspx?bi...

The #moleg Senate Education committee will hear an anti-LGBT bathroom bill this Tuesday, March 24th, 8 AM. Senate Bill 1558 shields private schools from lawsuits for sex segregated facilities based on birth sex, and reimburses schools for any legal challenges. www.senate.mo.gov/BillTracking...

The #moleg Missouri Senate Judiciary committee has scheduled 2 anti-LGBT bills for hearing for this Wednesday, March 25, 8:15AM. These bills chill artistic expression, discriminate and give criminal penalties for performances based on vague "community standards" #STL #Missouri #dragban

The #moleg Senate Judiciary committee has noticed up a hearing for two Drag ban bills, SB 1164 and SB 1476 for Wednesday, March 25 8:15AM. A 🧵 1/8

Missouri Republicans tacked on a gender affirming care ban to their abortion ban referendum to get voters to support the abortion ban. It's the same fight, the government overriding personal medical decisions to impose its ideological beliefs. missouriindependent.com/2026/03/17/m...

Senator Schnelting has impersonated President Bush in the past, but today he really invokes Bush's "Voodoo economics" with his pseudo-sovereign wealth scheme for Missouri. SJR 95. #moleg

Ruling against trans Kansans, a judge today declined to block Kansas’ extreme anti-trans bathroom ban and ID revocation law after finding the plaintiffs cannot prove that “every restroom visit is fraught with the potential for violence or embarrassment.” transitics.substack.com/p/judge-refu...

Rot in hell, Kristi Noem

An investigation from Transitics has discovered something highly alarming: Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been making a list of trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s preparing to revoke trans people’s documents by declaring them “falsified records.” transitics.substack.com/p/indianas-a...

The state board governing St. Louis Police says civilian oversight that would handle claims of officer misconduct is now illegal in Missouri. And anyway, the board appointed by Gov. Kehoe IS a form of civilian oversight (!!). New at @stlmag.bsky.social www.stlmag.com/news/st-loui...

Kansas statutes do not even recognize gender identity on the list of hate crime aggravating factors, K.S.A. 21-6815. The cops and the state will not track what isn't recognized. Prosecutors will not upcharge hate crimes on murder cases for a variety of strategic reasons. Dishonest reporting

House committee debates restroom restrictions for transgender Missourians #moleg #mogov

Laubinger had a Freudian slip and mentioned a Prosecutor for bathroom enforcement. The bill's text has a private cause of action, a CIVIL matter, but Laubinger mentioned it would be up to the Prosecutor. #moleg

This #moleg Emerging Issues cmtee its clear Republicans want to create vigilantes. They know what will happen when masculine looking people attempt to use women's restroom. Some women will panic and men nearby WILL react with violence. Regardless that the masc looking person is obeying the law.
