The Democrat here, Blake Gendebien, is facing off against Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino. Constantino is literally running on "detransitioning America" and generally just hating trans people. Gendebien could've called Constantino out for being insane. Instead, he chose bigotry. Shame.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

Actress Jessica Tandy (1909 – 1994), c. 1930 Over a stage and screen career spanning 60+ years, Ms. Tandy was honored with four Tonys, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and at age 80 became the oldest actress to receive the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘺.
1930 stage portrait photo of actress Jessica Tandy (1909 – 1994), dressed in a silk top accented with a stand of beads and a small pendant necklace. Her long, straight blonde hair is parted at center, and flows over her shoulders as she gazes confidently towards the horizon at camera right.

Over a stage and screen career spanning 60+ years, Ms. Tandy was honored with four Tonys, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and at age 80 became the oldest actress to receive the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘺.

Via the Los Angeles Times:

“Tandy was a versatile dramatic actress who electrified Broadway audiences as the original Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams' classic ‘A Streetcar Named Desire,’ and went on to wider fame decades later as the Oscar-winning heroine of the film ‘Driving Miss Daisy.’

“Long before ‘Daisy,’ Tandy had more than established herself by winning three of the coveted Tony Awards for dramatic acting in legitimate theater. She was a veteran of more than 150 roles on stage, screen, radio and television in a career that spanned nearly seven decades.

“For 52 years Tandy was married to actor Hume Cronyn, whom she also performed with in several plays and films, including the 1985 movie ‘Cocoon’ and its sequel, ‘Cocoon: The Return.’ The two were often called the ‘first couple of the American theater,’ and both were named to the Theatre Hall of Fame in 1979. They were both nominated for an Emmy as best lead actress and actor in a miniseries or special for their work in the CBS movie, ‘To Dance With the White Dog.’ Cronyn won the Emmy in his category; Tandy did not. That was the same day she passed away.

“In the last decade of her career, Tandy appeared in six films —including her 1991 costarring role in ‘Fried Green Tomatoes,’ for which she was nominated for another Oscar. In 1988, she was honored by the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.”

This should be an end to any DOJ attorneys career, let alone be subject to sanctions by the bar.
The image shows pages 5 and 6 of a legal document from Case 1:26-mc-00007-MSM-AEM, filed on May 13, 2026. The text contains several highlighted sections that allege misconduct by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and an attorney named Ms. Hsiao regarding their efforts to obtain medical records of transgender children.
### Key Highlights from **1000103224.jpg**:
 * **Misleading Representations:** The text alleges that a claim made by the DOJ—stating communication with RIH had ceased as of February 4, 2026—was "clearly misleading, if not utterly false."
 * **Duty of Candor:** A highlighted passage states, "This reckless disregard for the duty of candor owed to a federal court is appalling."
 * **Withholding Information:** The document claims Ms. Hsiao neglected to inform a Texas court that the DOJ had previously agreed to use anonymized data in other jurisdictions, calling her assertion that they "needed" patient-level data "deceptive" or "intentionally and knowingly false."
 * **Footnote 5:** A significant highlighted footnote asserts that this is not the first time Ms. Hsiao has "deviated from the norms of professional conduct" in a "crusade to obtain transgender children's medical records," citing previous court cases as evidence of inconsistencies in her sworn declarations.
