Trump is demanding that an all-ages transgender healthcare ban be included in the government funding measure, or he will shut down the United States Government.
The Republicans are responsible if the Government is shut down, as they are the ones who included ideological demands in a routine government funding measure.
The Senate will vote on Wednesday, September 30, 2025, which is today. The Republicans can't pass this without Democratic votes
Call your Senator this morning and tell him not to allow this to happen.
Talking point: First off, you voted for them and they work for you! Secondly: Every major medical association agrees that transgender-affirming healthcare is lifesaving healthcare.
“These are not budgetary measures; they are ideological attacks.”
One person on Reddit, Pink News reports, called on members of the public to “contact your senators and house reps asap”, urging them to protect “the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ Americans”.
They went on to say: “These are not budgetary measures, they are ideological attacks [that] would erase protections, endanger lives and weaponise federal funding to coerce institutions into abandoning care. For many, access to HRT and affirming care is not optional, it’s life-saving.
“Democrats have the power to stop all this from happening if they hold the line in the Senate.”
Call your Senator this morning and urge them to hold the line.
