The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused to comply with a list of demands from the federal government that the school said were unlawful.

On Monday afternoon, Harvard became the first university to refuse to comply with the administration’s requirements, setting up a showdown between the federal government and the nation’s wealthiest university. By the evening, federal officials said they would freeze $2.2 billion in multiyear grants to Harvard, along with a $60 million contract.

Other universities have pushed back against the administration’s interference in higher education. But Harvard’s response, which called the Trump administration’s demands illegal, marked a major shift in tone for the nation’s most influential school, which has been criticized in recent weeks for capitulating to Trump administration pressure.

Common sense is winning!

Redmond Sullivan, a transgender (biological male) athlete who used to fence for Wagner College, is no longer a part of the women’s team. OutKick was the first to learn about the development.

It’s not known if Wagner kicked Sullivan off the team or if the trans athlete left the program. With that being said though, a statement from the college, as well as their actions, show that it was most likely the former.

“We are in full compliance with NCAA and NEC [Northeast Conference] rules and regulations,” said a spokesperson for Wagner College to OutKick. “The fencer is not a member of our fencing team.”

The last time that Sullivan competed for Wagner College in women’s fencing was Dec. 1 in Staten Island, New York for the Seahawk Invitational. Here in 2025, the fencer hasn’t competed at all, most likely because of President Donald Trump’s executive order and the NCAA’s policy change on transgenders.

Taylor Starling is a 16-year-old high school runner who attends Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California. Despite her rigorous training and dedication, last October, Starling lost her spot on the varsity cross-country team to a transgender athlete — a biological male posing as a female.

While Starling eventually regained her spot on the team by outperforming her male competitor, the controversy is still burning strong.

Shortly following her displacement, Starling, alongside another teammate, filed a federal lawsuit against the Riverside Unified School District in November 2024, alleging violations of Title IX.

The scandal escalated when Starling and another teammate wore “Save Girls’ Sports” T-shirts to practice, which reportedly resulted in school officials comparing the slogan to swastikas and claiming the girls created a hostile environment. Apparently the athletic director even required that they remove their shirts or face discipline.

Activist Charlotte Clymer joined MSNBC’s Katie Phang “to discuss the Trump administration’s latest attack on transgender Americans and how Democrats can fight back,” and “the science” was definitely not on his side.

According to Mediaite:

Clymer, a former Human Rights Campaign spokesperson, told host Katie Phang that Democrats should be embracing trans and gender issues head-on because they can easily win and have science on their side.

Phang began with the recent lawsuit filed by Maine’s Attorney General challenging the executive order from President Donald Trump that targets transgender athletes participating in women’s sports and punishes schools that don’t change their policies.

“It’s very easy to fight back on trans issues. The science is on our side,” Clymer added. “Every credible medical organization has come out and endorsed gender-affirming care and said that the trans military ban is ridiculous and unnecessary… But the more we don’t fight back, the more Republicans are going to engage in bad faith and run up a score on Democrats.”

Federal Judge Orders Trump’s USDA to Unfreeze Maine Funding Amid Trans Athletes Dispute– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

A federal judge on Friday ordered President Donald Trump’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to unfreeze federal funding to Maine, as the administration continues to battle the Democrat-run state over transgender athletes.

District Court Judge John Woodcock issued a temporary restraining order in the case brought by Maine against the USDA, although he noted his order does not weigh in on the larger dispute surrounding Maine allowing trans-identifying males on female sports teams and in female spaces.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced on April 2 that the agency had begun freezing federal funds to Maine because of Democrat Gov. Janet Mills’ refusal to bar transgender-identifying boys from competing in girls’ sports. The USDA said it paused distribution of funds after sending multiple requests to Mills urging her to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order and Title IX, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities receiving federal funding.

“You cannot openly violate federal law against discrimination in education and expect federal funding to continue unabated,” Rollins said in the letter. “Your defiance of federal law has cost your state, which is bound by Title IX in educational programming. Today, I am freezing Maine’s federal funds for certain administrative and technological functions in schools.”

Excerpt:

As the state of Maine continues to defy federal civil rights law and allow men to compete in women’s sports, an initial investigation by the Education Department has been referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for “further enforcement action.”

The Justice Department taking over the investigation is an escalation in the fight between the federal government, which is trying to force Maine to comply with Title IX civil rights law to protect women and girls in sports, and Democrat Gov. Janet Mills, who wants to continue the practice.

“The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,” Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in a press release. “The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department. Governor Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.”

Democrats staged a protest at the Georgia State Capitol on Wednesday.

They left the chamber in protest as lawmakers debated a bill that would end taxpayer-funded “sex change” surgeries for state prison inmates.

The walkout occurred amid a heated debate over Senate Bill (SB) 185.

The legislation subsequently passed the House by a 100-2 vote.

All Democrats opted out of the vote through their departure, according to Fox Atlanta.

On Tuesday, Democrats on the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism Committee voted down Assembly Bill 89, which would have prohibited male students from competing in girls’ sports, and Assembly Bill 844, which would have required educational institutions to require students to use the bathroom or locker room according to their biological sex.

In a 7-2 vote, all Democrats on the committee voted against AB 89. Though many people traveled to testify about the harms they had suffered under California’s current athletic policies, Democrats claimed that there were only a handful of transgender students competing in girls’ sports. They instead turned the focus on President Donald Trump’s administration.

“There is no epidemic of transgender kids playing basketball, soccer, or any other sport, for that matter,” Speaker Robert Rivas claimed. “The real threat is the Trump administration taking away abortion access and dismantling programs that help women. And finally, I can’t emphasize this point enough — I’m not going to support a bill that takes rights away from a protected class of people,”

The Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday that it had frozen federal funding for education programs in Maine, the latest in a barrage of actions targeting the state since its Democratic governor, Janet Mills, sparred with President Donald Trump over the issue of transgender athletes at the White House in February.

The agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, notified Mills in a letter that funding would be stopped while the agency reviews grants awarded to Maine by the Biden administration, many of which “appear to be wasteful, redundant, or otherwise against the priorities of the Trump administration,” Rollins wrote in the letter, according to a statement.

It was not immediately clear which educational programs would be affected by the funding freeze. The government’s statement said its latest action would not alter “federal feeding programs or direct assistance to citizens.”

On “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a soldier who identified as Christina Winters posted a video on TikTok criticizing the Trump administration under the username “alexandrahamilton01.”

Captain Winters slammed the Trump administration for its recent actions related to transgender individuals, including a prohibition on transgender people serving in the military and a ban on medical facilities providing sex changes for minors.

“The current administration wants us to not be visible, they want us to be invisible, they want to remove us from society,” Winters alleged. “They want to ensure that we are disenfranchised, that we no longer have a voice, that we no longer have the right to enter any space that is safe.”

Excerpt:

The California legislature rejected two bills seeking to ban men from participating in women’s sports on Tuesday, with some lawmakers calling it “cruel.”

One of the bill’s lawmakers voted to block “would have required the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports, to adopt rules banning students whose sex was assigned male at birth from participating on a girls’ school sports team,” noted The Associated Press.

The other bill would have reversed a 2013 law allowing students to participate in sex-segregated school programs, including on sports teams, and use bathrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity.”

Both bills would have applied to K-12 students as well as college students.

Republicans supported the bill, arguing it would protect women, while Democrats denounced it as a cruel attack on LGBTQ rights and transgender youth.

“I don’t think anybody should be gender policing women and girls,” said Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward.

Excerpt:

(LifeSiteNews) — Pride comes before a fall – and as some major companies rethink previous “woke” policies, the corporate gravy train LGBT activists have relied on to fund their activism has finally begun to slow. 

According to NPR, both Anheuser-Busch – famous for beer brands like Beck’s and Budweiser – and the telecoms giant Comcast have both pulled funding from San Francisco Pride. Anheuser-Busch has also ended their sponsorship with St. Louis Pride. 

They aren’t the only ones. Diageo, the beverage company responsible for Johnny Walker, Smirnoff, and Guinness has pulled support from San Francisco Pride, as has Jackson Family Wines (which includes La Crema Wines). Meta, the tech giant that includes both Facebook and Instagram, has also reportedly pulled funding from San Francisco Pride. 

Significantly, a number of those companies have been attempting to distance themselves from wokeness after spending years wrapping themselves in the rainbow flag. Mark Zuckerberg of Meta announced earlier this year that he was reintroducing free speech to Meta’s social media platforms and began by removing many of the restrictions around LGBT debates (and had the tampon dispensers removed from the male washrooms at Facebook’s headquarters).

The school board must now make books with themes and images of violence, graphic sex, and suicidal ideation widely available to young teens against the wishes of many parents, but an appeal is already being planned.

A U.S. District Court judge has mandated that Colorado’s Elizabeth School District reinstate 19 previously removed books to its library shelves.

This decision follows a lawsuit initiated by the NAACP alongside students, asserting that the school board aimed to “limit students’ access to any books that contravene the Board members’ partisan, political values.”

The controversy began in August 2024 when the Elizabeth School Board voted to remove certain books from school libraries. Board officials cited concerns over the content they deemed inappropriate, including graphic violence, racism, and discrimination, ideations of self-harm or mental illness, and sexual content.

The Department of Education (ED) announced Wednesday it has found the Maine Department of Education in violation of civil rights laws for continuing to allow men to compete in women’s sports.

Ed opened an investigation into the state in February after a public spat between President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills during which the governor declined to comply with Trump’s ban on men in women’s sports. The investigation concluded the state “has policies and practices that are in violation of Title IX,” according to a press release.

“The outcome of OCR’s investigation of MDOE confirms that it has violated federal antidiscrimination law by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and boys to occupy girls’ intimate facilities,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at the department said in a statement. “Today’s findings and proposed resolution agreement demonstrate to MDOE and any other entity receiving federal funding that the Trump Administration will not tolerate unlawful discrimination against girls and women. If Maine does not swiftly and completely come into compliance with Title IX, we will initiate the process to limit MDOE’s access to federal funding.”

The Trump administration has suspended approximately $175 million US in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania over the participation of a transgender athlete in its swimming program, the White House said Wednesday.

The Ivy League school has been facing an Education Department investigation focused on its swimming program. That inquiry was announced last month immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports.

However, the federal money that was suspended came from a separate review of discretionary funding for universities, the White House said. It came from the Department of Defence and the Department of Health and Human Services.

A Penn spokesperson said the school had not received any notification or details of the action.

“It is important to note, however, that Penn has always followed NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams,” spokesperson Ron Ozio said.

An Ohio appeals court partially overturned the state’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors.

Why it matters: The Tuesday decision delivers a win for transgender kids as the Trump administration vows to ban funding for youth gender-affirming care nationwide.

State of play: A three-judge panel on the Ohio’s 10th District Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling by deciding that a state law preventing transgender kids from accessing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone therapy for kids violates parents’ rights.

What they’re saying: “This win restores the right of trans youth in Ohio to choose vitally important health care, with the support of their families and physicians,” ACLU of Ohio legal director Freda Levenson said in a statement.

Gov. Mark Gordon, R, signed House Bill 43 into law on Thursday to make Wyoming the latest state to implement an age verification requirement aimed at restricting access to harmful online content for any child under the age of 18.

Unlike similar laws in other states that primarily target adult entertainment platforms, HB 43 has a much broader scope. The law applies to any website that hosts “material harmful to minors,” expanding the range of online content subject to age verification requirements.

Under this definition, “material harmful to minors” includes “any picture, image, graphic image file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction that is obscene or is child pornography.” This classification extends to material that is already illegal to distribute under existing laws.
