Trump Attorney General Claims Without Evidence That ‘Secret School Gender Transitions’ Have Become a ‘Pandemic’ in America
Trump’s Justice Department announced this week a “first-of-its-kind” lawsuit against a Kansas public school district for allegedly facilitating secret gender transitions

Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle on Wednesday, Sept. 2, where he warned parents of what he described as a “pandemic that’s happening in school districts around the country,” without offering evidence.
“The fact that you and I are talking about this, Laura, is incredible,” Blanche — who previously served as President Donald Trump’s personal criminal defense attorney — told host Laura Ingraham above chyrons that read “DOJ Targets Secret School Gender Transitions” and “Parents Shut Out, DOJ Steps In.”
“The fact we’re talking about a school district keeping from parents something as fundamental as a child’s name,” Blanche continued on Wednesday night, “and we had to sue, we had to sue this school district to get them to do the right thing — is shocking.”
Blanche and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division are not alleging in the lawsuit against the Kansas City, Kan., public school system that schools are facilitating medications or medical procedures to underage students.
Instead, the Justice Department is taking the school district to court over accusations it is allowing trans students to use the name and gender they identify with during the school day without enough parental input.
In a statement to Spectrum News, Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools said it was in complete “full compliance” with federal law and “is disappointed by the DOJ’s decision to file the lawsuit.”
The district declined to make further comment and said their next response would be in a federal court filing in response to the lawsuit.
Excerpts of the school’s “Transgender Guideline” included in the lawsuit note that “if any staff member learns a student is transgender or gender non-conforming, that information should be relayed to the school principal without delay.” The principal is then required to speak with the parents.
If the student asks for their parents “not to be included at this stage, that will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis” by senior school district leadership and the district’s attorney, according to the lawsuit.
“It also is not policy; it is guidance,” the school system’s superintendent Anna Stubblefield told a local NBC News affiliate in July. “There’s nowhere in the guidance where we say ‘withhold information from parents.’ We have no reason or incentive to withhold information from parents about anything that they’re entitled to for their students.”
Those possible discussions about a student’s social transition and gender identity without parents necessarily present — which the Justice Department’s complaint did not say ever occurred — are what Trump administration has zeroed in on.
Trump Admin Paid Federal Workers Nearly $10 Billion Not To Work In 2025
One Democrat called Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce “the most expensive way imaginable to make government worse.”

The federal government paid employees nearly $10 billion not to work last year under cuts led by President Donald Trump’s infamous Department of Government Efficiency, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
The GAO found that $6.7 billion of that money was paid out under the Trump administration’s “deferred resignation” programs, which encouraged workers to quit under the promise they would remain on the federal payroll for several months.
All told, there was a sixfold increase in paid administrative leave under Trump’s leadership last year compared to two years earlier, according to the analysis.
Democrats pointed at the data as evidence the Trump administration’s attacks on the federal workforce ended up squandering money rather than saving it.
“After promising to cut waste, Trump instead set billions upon billions in taxpayer dollars on fire to quite literally pay people not to do jobs they loved — from researching cancer cures to taking care of our National Parks, and so much else,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said in a statement.
Trump came into office last year on a promise to slash agencies and reduce the size of the federal government. His newly formed DOGE, spearheaded by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, took an arbitrary and ham-fisted approach to trimming the workforce, pushing workers out by the thousands and often eliminating critical positions that needed to be refilled.
The deferred resignation program, which was run by the Office of Personnel Management and known colloquially as “Fork in the Road,” offered workers the chance to give up their jobs while being paid through September 2025 to do little or no work. The administration used the threat of further layoffs in the future to push workers into accepting the proposal, which unions and Democratic lawmakers argued was unlawful.
The GAO noted that paid administrative leave, which OPM directed agencies to use for the resignation program, doesn’t come for free.
“It is a cost to taxpayers as employees receive full pay without performing job duties,” the report states.
Nearly 150,000 workers left the federal government between Trump’s inauguration and August 2025, with the largest workforce cuts hitting the Treasury, Agriculture and Defense departments, according to an analysisfrom the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that advocates for effective government. The group said the administration’s sloppy manner of pursuing cuts had led to “phenomenal waste.”
According to GAO, nearly 100,000 federal workers took more than 90 days of paid administrative leave last year, compared to fewer than 600 workers in 2023 and 2024.
“Paid administrative leave usage peaked in July 2025 at nearly 3 million workdays; approximately 2.5 million of those workdays were associated with the deferred resignation program,” the report noted.
It became evident quickly how the Trump administration’s cuts hurt services at particular agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration and the National Weather Service. But it could be years before the full impact of the DOGE era comes into view, particularly as it relates to science and research.
Murray called the cuts “the most expensive way imaginable to make government worse.”

Prostitution and beastiality under the MAGA FBI no longer automatically disqualifies someone from applying to the bureau. I’m sure there’s some sort of retarded explanation, but I’m left wondering who they’re wanting to hire.

So I guess the FBI is now hiring sheep?
How can anyone look at America today and not conclude right wing Americans are irredeemably damned stupid? Seriously.
