Yeah, it was. The order will reportedly ban males who identify as transgender from participating in girls' and women's sports at schools and colleges. Sources believe that Trump could direct his education department to enforce those standards based on Title IX rules, and if schools don't comply, they could be investigated. Trump is expected to sign the order at 3 p.m.

For those who aren't aware, Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky, and during the 2022 NCAA Women's Championships, she and other girls were forced to compete against a male swimmer named Leah Thomas.

Gaines and Thomas tied for fifth place, but the trophy was given only to Thomas at the award ceremony. Gaines has since dedicated herself to advocating for female sports and athletes, and she even testified before Congress. Here's some audio of that.

Yeah, Trump really hit the ground running here. On day one, he signed an executive order stipulating that it's the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders.

Yeah, that appears to be the plan. The House passed the Protection of Women and Girls Act last month, but the Senate, which is also narrowly controlled by the GOP, has yet to vote on the bill.

Meta Platforms has agreed to pay Trump $25 million for suspending his Facebook account following the January 6th riot back in 2021. Most of the settlement, $22 million worth, will go toward Trump's presidential library, while the rest of the money will cover legal fees and other plaintiffs.

The deal comes after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November, seeking to repair ties with the incoming president.
