HRC Article:

WASHINGTON — Last night, President Biden signed the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which includes a provision inserted by Speaker Mike Johnson blocking healthcare for the transgender children of military servicemembers. This provision, the first anti-LGBTQ+ federal law enacted since the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, will rip medically necessary care from the transgender children of thousands of military families – families who make incredible sacrifices in defense of the country each and every day. The last anti-LGBTQ+ federal law that explicitly targeted military servicemembers was Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which went into effect in 1994.

Biden’s press release:

No service member should have to decide between their family’s health care access and their call to serve our Nation.

    They literally didn’t choose the 0% yet you claim the thing they did actually choose is an illusion?

            Signing it is a defeat, and its our fault for voting in a conservative 119th Congress after voting in a split 118th Congress. Blaming Biden and blaming Democrats exasperates the problem that caused this.

              So you are saying that because the Republicans are incoming, biden should represent thier way? I voted for biden to represent democrats untill the end. The Republicans will have plenty of thier own time to do republican things.
