President Biden on Wednesday blasted several Republican-led states and the so-called ultra-MAGA agenda during a speech at a White House Pride Month event where he unveiled an executive order instructing the Department of Education to address the impacts of state laws that target LGBTQI+ students.
I dont have to tell you about the ultra-MAGA agenda attacking families and our freedoms. Three-hundred discriminatory bills introduced in states across this country, Biden said. In Texas, knocking on front doors to harass and investigate parents who are raising transgender children. In Florida, going after Mickey Mouse, for Gods sake.

Biden is referring to a directive Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued to the states Department of Family Protective Services to investigate parents and medical providers who facilitate reconstructive surgeries and/or hormone-therapy treatment for their children.

Keep on doing that Joe.

Thank you for being in our corner, President Biden. Thank you for your strong support and continuing to speak and fight on our behalf. Thank you for signing this executive order - I know there is more to be done, but that would take the House and Senate to make it happen. But this order is a huge step and very much appreciated.
