Republicans Issue New Government Shutdown Threat Over Trans People
www.erininthemorning.com
On Wednesday, the House Freedom Caucus issued a letter indicating that the government may shut down if anti-trans polices are not included.

I will be calling my representatives and letting them know that I would sooner see the government shutdown than see any of these proposals become law.

    It doesn’t appear in the letter, but is mentioned in the article. The letter also states that there are “more” policies that need to be defunded.

    These policies encompass bans on pride flags, prohibitions on insurance coverage, restrictions on DEI programs, and even the defunding of children’s hospitals that offer gender-affirming care.

      Not that I don’t believe you, but is there official documentation showing details on the “more policies” mentioned at the end of the letter? I prefer to read policies verbatim.

        I would appreciate that link, too. Although the article contains one line that mentions banning Pride flags, I haven’t found anything that indicates Pride flags are being singled out in the congressional tantrum manifesto.
