Summary

Today's headlines: Republican lawmakers in at least 5 states have introduced legislation that would limit or completely restrict gender affirming care for adults. As part of the legislation that took away Disney’s self-governance over its theme park district in Florida, Ron Desantis got to re-appoint the district’s Board of Governors. Attorneys for the Justice Department's civil division said in a court filing that Donald Trump *can* be sued by police officers over the January 6th insurrection. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel was among one of the state government officials who was threatened by a Michigan resident who said he would kill all the Jewish members of the state government. Finally for this week, the House Ethics Committee released a statement yesterday that its members voted unanimously to establish an investigative subcommittee to look into George Santos.
