Adm. Rachel Levine‚ the trans-identifying assistant secretary for health in the Biden administration‚ mocked critics who slammed President Joe Biden for celebrating the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter. On Sunday‚ as Christians worldwide celebrated Easter‚ Biden posted on X‚ “Today‚ on Transgender Day of Visibility‚ I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God‚ and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.” Today‚ on Transgender Day of Visibility‚ I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God‚ and you're worthy of respect and dignity. pic.twitter.com/ihvsJrXEyd — President Biden (@POTUS) March 31‚ 2024 He also posted‚ “On Transgender Day of Visibility‚ we celebrate the joy‚ strength‚ and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.” On Transgender Day of Visibility‚ we celebrate the joy‚ strength‚ and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know. Today‚ we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them‚ they belong‚ and they should be treated with dignity and respect. pic.twitter.com/mhixHV9KC2 — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 31‚ 2024 Among others‚ former President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign released a statement calling the declaration an example of the Biden administration’s “years-long assault on the Christian faith.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) posted on X that the White House “has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ … Banning sacred truth and tradition — while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day’ — is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.” Former Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker said on X‚ “This should [be] evidence to anyone who voted for Biden in 2020 because they thought he was reasonable that he is not. Biden is pandering to the radical fringe within politics. The only reason to pick Easter Sunday for this day was to stir up division with Christians. He is wrong!” Levine subsequently mocked the critics in an interview with The Advocate‚ saying‚ “I felt that it was faux outrage. It was manufactured … It’s just that this Sunday was Easter‚ which is a very important holiday and very important event‚ and it also just happened to be the 31st.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Levine then cited the iconic “Star Wars” films‚ declaring that the critics were‚ in reality‚ afraid: “You know there’s a quote from Yoda … Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate‚ and hate leads to suffering.” “This is not a social contagion phenomenon‚ and we’ve been around forever‚ hiding in the closet. So‚ the ability in our society now is not to be in the closet. We need to foster that and to nurture that‚” Levine insisted. Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report.

New York Justice Juan Merchan expanded his gag order against former President Donald Trump on Monday‚ further limiting the Republican presidential candidate’s criticisms of family members of lawyers and jurists. In a five-page ruling‚ Merchan scolded Trump for his posts on Truth Social targeting the judge’s daughter‚ Loren‚ who has served as an executive at a leftist political consulting firm that has worked with clients like President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris‚ The Hill reported. “This pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose. It merely injects fear in those assigned or called to participate in the proceedings‚ that not only they‚ but their family members as well‚ are ‘fair game’ for Defendant’s vitriol‚” Merchan wrote. In the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against Trump‚ the former president stands accused of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up an alleged affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels. The hush money case‚ widely viewed as the weakest case against the former president‚ was the first in a slew of criminal charges against Trump and made Trump the first ex-president to be charged with a crime. Trump has denied sending Daniels any hush money along with denying the alleged affair between them. The trial is set to begin on April 15 after Merchan delayed it last month to give Trump’s legal team time to review a new dump of 100‚000 pages of material that could be used as evidence in the case. In his initial gag order last week‚ Merchan — who donated to Biden’s campaign against Trump in 2020 — restricted Trump’s ability to speak out about witnesses‚ prosecutors‚ and jurors involved in the criminal case‚ but the judge’s order didn’t apply to him or his family. Following the gag order‚ Trump slammed Merchan and his daughter‚ writing that Loren “represents Crooked Joe Biden‚ Kamala Harris‚ Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff‚ and other Radical Liberals.” Trump’s lawyers argued that the leading presidential candidate’s social media posts about the judge and his daughter are protected by the First Amendment and “necessary and appropriate in the current environment.” Merchan disagreed‚ saying that the lawyers’ arguments are “farcical” and calling Trump’s posts “dangerous rhetoric‚” according to The Hill. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump responded to the expanded gag order‚ writing on Truth Social on Tuesday morning that Merchan “should be recused‚ and the case should be thrown out.” “I just was informed that another corrupt New York Judge‚ Juan Merchan‚ GAGGED me so that I can not talk about the corruption and conflicts taking place in his courtroom with respect to a case that everyone‚ including the D.A.‚ felt should never have been brought‚” Trump said. “They can talk about me‚ but I can’t talk about them??? That sounds fair‚ doesn’t it? This Judge should be recused‚ and the case should be thrown out. There has virtually never been a more conflicted judge than this one. ELECTION INTERFERENCE at its worst!”
