Additionally, a total of eight public universities in Maine have said that they will comply with Trump's order. That change was made in response to the Department of Agriculture threatening to withhold federal funding over this issue. Now, other investigations have been opened by different departments into these transgender policies in Maine.

And Health and Human Services said that they actually did find Title IX violations and they gave the state 10 days to comply with Trump's order. That letter was sent on March 19th. I spoke to MaineWire's editor-in-chief, Steve Robinson, about potential consequences over all of this noncompliance. And here's what he told me.

Yeah, we do. New polling from the American Parents Coalition, which was exclusively shared with The Daily Wire, shows that Maine residents side with Trump on this issue. 63% said that school sports participation should be based on biological sex, and 60% said that they would support a ballot measure to protect girls' sports, including 64% of independents.

Robinson mentioned state representative Laurel Libby there. She was actually censured by state Democrats for her Facebook post that drew attention to this issue. She posted public images of a male taking first place in girls' pole vaulting at states after he formerly competed with boys.

Now, despite Maine residents being clearly opposed to allowing males in girls' sports, Maine Democrats just voted on Tuesday to continue Libby's censure. That means she's still barred from speaking on the House floor. And just last week, Maine Democrats pushed a bill that would effectively install tampons in middle and high school boys' bathrooms.

So as of now, Democrats in Maine are digging in on this issue despite its unpopularity. Well, a risky move for them. Amanda, thanks for reporting. You're welcome.

Through early retirement programs and the Fork in the Road initiative, the department aims to eventually reduce its workforce of 82,000 down to 62,000. Kennedy says that the goal is not just about downsizing, but realigning HHS with its mission of tackling chronic disease. Here's Kennedy making that announcement.
