For years, the debate around trans women in sport has been framed as though the science was settled, and settled against inclusion. A new meta-analysis drawing on 52 studies suggests otherwise. After hormone therapy, researchers found no meaningful differences in strength or aerobic fitness between trans women and cis women, and crucially, greater lean mass did not translate into greater physical capacity.

This is the kind of evidence that deserves to be heard clearly, not buried under political noise. I've written about the findings and what I think they mean for the future of inclusive sport.

Bryan Steil prides himself on the fact that he “requested” to serve as chairman for the subcommittee that oversees cryptocurrency regulation, but recent reporting reveals Bryan Steil’s shady ties and advocacy for cryptocurrency companies and trading platforms all while serving as chairman for the subcommittee that oversees cryptocurrency regulation. (Sources cited in the graphic.)

Steil has received nearly a million dollars from crypto-aligned donors including online markets that allow for prediction trading based on real world events he has a direct impact in determining the outcome of, such as the war in Iran.

Steil’s donors also include cryptocurrency trading platforms under investigation for failure to protect everyday working people making small, first-time investments.

One of the reasons Trump claimed he started his war, after promising no new wars, was because of Iran's enriched uranium. Now Trump says that enriched uranium is "not very valuable." His 60-day ceasefire that he's signing tomorrow, allows Iran to keep all enriched uranium (although here he *claims* the U.S. is going to go get it, although that appears nowhere in the agreement and would violate the ceasefire terms). American military members were killed and injured, 168 Iranian school girls were bombed to death in their classrooms by the U.S., thousands of Iranian civilians were killed. Our military bases have been badly damaged, some left inoperable. Our ammunition stockpiles are depleted. American taxpayers have paid over $80 billion for Trump's war of choice. Gas prices and the cost of goods and services at home surged. Trump's ceasefire includes unfreezing Iran's frozen assets AND a $300 billion fund headed and contributed to by the U.S. It allows Iran to keep full control of the Strait of Hormuz, which was open and free prior to Trump's bombing.

Nearly half of all American households say they now cannot afford to cover even their basic needs, and if the annual cost of living increases by just $1,000, another 3 MILLION people will be added to that group.

People are skipping meals and being forced to turn to food banks at levels we haven’t seen since the worst of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, the lingering costs of Trump’s tariffs are still pushing prices higher, his cuts are shredding the safety net, and his answer to all of it is pretending none of it is happening.

He promised a Golden Age and is delivering a cost-of-living crisis he refuses to acknowledge. -

CNN has obtained and verified Trump’s draft agreement for a 60-day cease fire with Iran and it’s worse than predicted: Obama’s JCPOA actually cut Iran’s nuclear program and enforced it with nonstop inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency for 10 years-and IAEA inspectors said Iran fully complied with the requirements until Trump chose to tear it up in 2018. Trump’s new “deal” is merely a 60-day ceasefire and doesn’t cut anything — it’s just a ceasefire where the U.S. gives huge concessions, including cash to Iran BEFORE any nuclear terms are even negotiated, while Iran keeps all its nuclear advances, with no inspections and no enforcement at all, AND maintains full control of the Strait of Hormuz.

No wonder Trump refused to voluntarily release the terms.

Trump knows he will never be half the man President Obama is - and that infuriates him to no end.

Trump's "deal" with Iran that he's been bragging about on social media? CNN has obtained and verified Trump's 60-day ceasefire agreement. It's worse than predicted.
While Obama's 10 year JCPOA was a nuclear‑limits‑for‑sanctions‑relief deal with regular and strict inspections; Trump's agreement is merely another a ceasefire that has massive U.S. concessions and financial payouts with no nuclear rollback, no inspections, and no enforcement mechanisms.

It gives Iran full control of the Strait and its passage, and allows Iran to keep all enriched uranium and all materials necessary to continue to produce nuclear weapons and the U.S. gives sanctions relief BEFORE any future nuclear terms are even negotiated.

Trump spent billions of taxpayer dollars on his war, American service members were killed and injured, thousands of Iranians were killed, Americans saw the cost of goods and services spike dramatically, all for an agreement that is both temporary and much worse than Obama's JCPOA that Trump tore up in 2018 and much worse than what Iran had agreed to in February, just before Trump rashly started bombing them. Now Iran will be richer, still control the global economy through the Strait if it chooses, keeps all its nuclear capabilities, and has a younger and more radical Ayatollah.
