Another bit of Noem news that slid under some radars is her asking Hegseth last week to deploy surveillance drones over LA and have federal troops conduct arrests. Even if the news did get around, there was little emphasis in the press on just how unlawful it was.

If I were in LA right now, I'd be baking cookies. A time-honored way to respond to armed men showing up at a peaceful protest is to be very friendly & kind to them.

Went and I checked this, and Edwin's correct: On the left is text from the reconciliation bill "PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS" On the right is from the Manager's amendment that strikes the word "FOR MINORS."
A line from the Reconciliation bill saying " SEC. 44125. PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS."Page 333, line 3, strike ‘‘FOR MINORS’’
