About this listen

The Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law prohibiting transgender drugs and surgeries for children. In a 6 to 3 ruling, it was determined in United States v. Skrmetti that Tennessee's law does not violate the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Chief Justice John Roberts penned the court's opinion, saying the plaintiffs "contort the meaning of the term medical treatment.'" Tennessee's law blocks all transgender medical treatments on children, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. Doctors who offer these treatments risk losing their medical licenses and paying a $25,000 fine. The law also gives children and their families the right to sue if these treatments harmed them.All but two Judiciary Committee Democrats skipped a hearing on the "cover-up" of Joe Biden's mental state when he was in the White House. Ranking member Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) each departed after they got a chance to speak.A bill stripping free healthcare for illegal immigrants in Minnesota was signed into law this week, days after Minnesota House Democrat leader Melissa Hortman was assassinated. Hortman was the lone House Democrat to vote for the bill.U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick, a federal judge in Boston, issued a preliminary injunction that expands on an earlier ruling that applied to six plaintiffs who sued the federal government. Kobick granted the plaintiffs' request to make the lawsuit a class action, expanding the injunction to block President Donald Trump's order restricting passports to only reflect biological sex.Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) wants to prevent the United States from getting involved in the fight between Israel and Iran without the consent of Congress. His plan is the introduction of a "War Powers Resolution" to "prohibit" U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict. I don't know about Republicans, but "The "Squad supports his plan.USAID, under Joe Biden, awarded an $800 million contract to a business operating out of a Virginia home even after it formally ruled that its key manager lacked "honesty or integrity" — a reference to the fact that, according to a May 12 guilty plea, he had secured USAID contracts through bribery for a decade. The contract? Addressing "issues affecting the root causes of irregular migration from Central America to the United States" — the work that Biden assigned to Kamala Harris, but she never did. For the life of me, I can not figure out why I am not surprised.Judge Jodie Mooney threw out the conviction of Darian McWoods for the murder of his 15-month-old daughter, Kamaya Flores. She decided that McWoods didn't receive a fair trial because, during jury selection, the prosecution prevented two black people from serving on the jury. Judge Mooney sent the case back to the lower court for a new trial. But instead of trying the case again, prosecutors in Portland used the opportunity to give Darian McWoods a plea deal. He simply had to plead guilty to manslaughter and "criminal mistreatment." In exchange, he will leave prison in less than two years.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.
