The establishment’s problem with Elon Musk is not that he’s willing to upend norms and test or break rules. They have shown an enthusiastic willingness to do so themselves.

by Willow Tohi, Natural News: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is using AI to analyze sensitive data from the U.S. Department of Education to identify inefficiencies and reduce spending. This marks a significant step in the Trump administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government, targeting the Education Department as an example of […]

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, has vetoed legislation that would ban ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors. “Right now, the legislature should be focused on ways to help Kansans cope with rising prices,” Kelly said in a statement, according to ABC News. “That is the most important issue for Kansans. That is where my focus is,” she added. Kelly has vetoed such legislation on multiple occasions. New: Kansas Democrat Governor Laura Kelly vetoed the Help Not Harm Act. This would have banned child transgender medicalization.

The ban would also apply to gender-affirming surgeries. “Infringing on parental rights is not appropriate, nor is it a Kansas value,” said Kelly in her veto message. “As I’ve said before, it is not the job of politicians to stand between a parent and a child who needs medical care of any kind. This legislation will also drive families, businesses, and health care workers out of our state, stifling our economy and exacerbating our workforce shortage issue.” This is the third time Kelly has vetoed similar transgender youth care bills, but the bill may now have the support to pass. The bill passed the state legislature with flying colors – passing the House 83-35 and the Senate 32-8. In 2023, the attempt to override a past trans care ban veto lost in the House 82-43.

Yet again, putting her radical liberal ideology above the safety of Kansas kids. Child mutilation is not a parental right and on the contrary, should be criminal. I look forward to the legislature overriding this insane veto,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said. Disgraceful veto, Laura Kelly.

Laura Kelly’s action because she vetoed two similar bills previously. This year’s measure not only would ban gender-affirming surgeries, hormone treatments and puberty blockers for minors but also prohibit state employees caring for children from promoting social transitioning for them. At least 26 other states have restricted gender-affirming care for minors. Votes last month suggested that backers of a Kansas ban have the legislative supermajorities needed to override Kelly’s veto. House Minority Leader Brandon Woodard, a Kansas City-area Democrat, acknowledged as much during a recent news conference and said opponents will ask state courts to overturn a ban. Supporters argue that a ban would protect vulnerable children from what they’ve often described as a radical ideology about gender. Transgender youth and their parents have said such care often lessens depression and suicidal tendencies. Kelly chastised lawmakers in her veto message for what she said was their attempt to interfere with parental rights and in medical decisions.
