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.

    I will never hold my nose to vote democratic ever again. Plus it wouldn’t help, your stench permeates throughout the entire country.

    Your time in the sun is over blue conservatives. The same could be said for the country that was in your stewardship.

    We trusted you to defeat literal clowns and not only were you incapable, you joined the circus.

    You are not to be trusted ever again.
