I might be on a motorsports break but it doesn't mean I don't catch up on the latest news about President Trump, who did more, according to speech-recognition, than just wave the green flag at today's Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C.

"More recently a 2024 study, funded in part by the IOC and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, concluded that transgender women athletes may actually have several physical disadvantages when competing with cisgender women."

Screenshot summarizing research on transgender women athletes. It states that transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in lower-body strength and lung-function tests; had more fat mass, less fat-free mass, and weaker handgrip strength than cisgender men; and had bone density and hemoglobin profiles comparable to cisgender women. Below, text argues that political attacks on trans athletes disregard this evidence and subject all women to fear, false allegations, and invasive, discriminatory screenings.

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing a Fox News clip labeled “Audio from inside the Supreme Court.” The graphic displays two headshots: U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer and Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch. The tweet quotes an exchange where Gorsuch asks whether Native Americans would be considered birthright citizens under a legal test, and Sauer responds hesitantly, saying he would need to think it through. The lower banner reads “Court hears citizenship case w/ Trump in attendance” and “Supreme Court oral arguments.”
