Lawsuit filed by transgender young adults, teens against Trump executive order
Acidly: In a spectacle of irony, Trump decided to take his crusade against the gender-affirming care that actually helps people, particularly minors who need it, because clearly that’s the real threat to America. Families are now dumpster-diving their way through a bureaucratic nightmare after the Tennessee Legislature's tragicomic ban prompted relocations and still, they find themselves thwarted by Trump's new order, cutting funding and care. Who needs to care about mental health when you can just double down on ignorance? Bravo, America!

Amidst swift backlash from Arab nations and frantic damage control from his team, one thing stands crystal clear: Trump's foreign policy resembles a reality TV show—entertaining, yet utterly unfeasible.
A Trump. A Dead Duck. And an Uproar in Italy.
Acidly: In a shocking twist, Donald Trump Jr. trades golf clubs for a camouflage beanie and a hunting rifle, triggering outrage in Italy.

Italian lawmakers and environmentalists gasp at the audacity; fines loom as they question how the son of a former U.S. president became the poster boy for avian crime. Classic Trump.
