President Donald J. Trump’s executive order reversing Democrat regulations allowing transgenderprisoners to be housed according to their gender identity will impact around 1,500 federal inmates who are male but identify as women. These male transgenders constitute a significant segment of the population of women’s prisons, with approximately 15 percent of “women” in federal prisons being biological men.
President Trump’s policy shift also halts federal funding for sex reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments for inmates who identify as transgender. The funding also applies to people in immigration detention. One transgender inmate, who calls himself Maria Moe, is suing the America First leader over the policy.
The Women’s Liberation Front, which advocates against male transgenders being housed in female prisons, views this as a significant victory. They cite cases such as that of Tremaine Carroll, a transgender inmate accused of rape after he was housed in a women’s prison.
Under previous administrations, guidelines changed several times. President Barack Obama allowed transgender inmates to be housed based on gender identity. Trump reversed this policy during his first term, but President Joe Biden reinstated it in 2021.

Americans increasingly say they trust President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party over Democrats to handle the U.S. immigration crisis. In January 2025, polling data shows the Republican Party holds a 22-point margin in terms of being trusted to address immigration problems, a marked shift from 2017 when Democrats held an 11-point advantage.
“I just want to note how different things are from where we were when Donald Trump first took office and how much more the American people are on the side of Republicans than they were eight years ago,” CNN data analysis Harry Enten explained during a recent segment. He continued: “You go back to April 2017—look at this—the Democrats held an 11-point advantage over Republicans. So Americans were not liking what Donald Trump and the Republican Party was doing back at the beginning of his first term.”
“Look at where they are now, though. A poll out now, though, just in the last week, after Donald Trump took office, ‘Which party do you trust more on immigration?’ Look at the margin Republicans are putting up here,” Enten notes, adding: “A 22-point lead over Democrats. You rarely see issues in which the American people side so much with one party over the other… Republicans lead overwhelmingly on this.”
Survey data has repeatedly shown the American people souring on the Democratic Party’s embrace of mass immigration under former President Joe Biden. Border security and immigration consistently ranked as two of the top issues for voters during the 2024 presidential election.
Additionally, polling shows a majority of Americans are embracing President Trump’s plan to mass deport the tens of millions of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S., including the millions allowed to enter the country by the Biden government unlawfully.

Spirit Airlines has introduced a revised dress code policy, effective January 22, following recent incidents involving passenger attire—or lack thereof—that gained attention on social media. The new guidelines specify scenarios where travelers may be denied boarding or removed from flights based on clothing and body art.
According to the updated policy, passengers will not be allowed to board or could be asked to leave if they are considered “inadequately clothed,” meaning wearing see-through garments or not adequately covering the body, including exposed private areas. Additionally, travelers with attire or body art deemed lewd, obscene, or offensive may also face action.
Footwear rules have also been stipulated, requiring passengers to wear suitable shoes. Other stipulations include measures against boarding for those appearing intoxicated, abusive towards crew members, or having an “offensive odor unless due to a recognized disability.” These measures are standard in airline carriage contracts, addressing issues such as intoxication, abusive behavior, and odor.
Previously, Spirit Airlines—a budget air carrier—had policies against passengers described as “inadequately clothed” or displaying “lewd” attire, although they lacked specificity. The update clarifies what constitutes policy violations.
The stricter guidelines emerged after multiple instances where passengers’ attire led to altercations. Notably, in October 2024, two passengers were removed for wearing crop tops deemed inappropriate. More recently, a man in a provocative hoodie was escorted off a flight despite agreeing to remove it.
Other airlines maintain dress codes but with varying specificity. Delta Airlines’ policy can deny boarding to passengers whose attire risks offending others. American Airlines prohibits bare feet and offensive clothing. Hawaiian Airlines is more specific about acceptable attire, allowing tank tops and shorts but prohibiting Speedos and bikini bottoms.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
A transgender inmate has filed a lawsuit seeking to block President Donald J. Trump‘s executive order limiting the federal government recognition to only two legal sexes, male and female, and mandating the transfer of transgender women (men) to men’s prisons. The executive order additionally halts federally subsidized sex transitions for these individuals.
According to the filings, the lawsuit alleges President Trump’s executive order is “intentionally designed to discriminate against transgender people.” Additionally, it contends the order is meant to “preclude transgender people from being able to live in a sex different than their birth sex and to deny them equal treatment.”
The plaintiff, identified in legal documents as Maria Moe, is a biological man currently housed in a federal women’s prison. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the lawsuit is backed by litigators for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, National Center for Lesbian Rights, and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, who argue the executive order contravenes constitutional and statutory rights—citing specifically the Fifth and Eighth Amendments and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Moe, who reportedly has gender dysphoria and has pretended to be a woman for years, was receiving gender transition treatment until the recent policy directive interrupted his care. He claims his potential transfer to a men’s facility would place him at significant risk of violence and assault.
Following the executive order, Moe has reportedly been moved to a Special Housing Unit, awaiting transfer, without contact with others. The suit references his lack of a violent record in federal custody and argues against the necessity and legality of such a transfer.
The plaintiff seeks a court judgment to annul the executive order, maintain his housing and medical treatment as they were before the order, and award him nominal damages.

British voters support several key policies associated with U.S. President Donald J. Trump. An Opinium poll involving 2,000 participants surveyed opinions on 16 statements derived from Trump’s inauguration speech, adapted to a British context—and without President Trump’s name attached—finding huge support for a ‘Britain First’ platform.
Presented with the pledge, “We will declare a national emergency in the Channel, and we will begin the process of returning thousands and thousands of criminal migrants back to the places from which they came”—a reference to Britain’s ongoing boat migrants crisis—35 percent strongly agreed and 23 percent somewhat agreed, against just 12 percent each for strongly disagree and somewhat disagree.
Moreover, a net 63 percent agreed with the statement, “Our state fails to protect our law-abiding UK citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals that have illegally entered our country from all over the world,” against only 26 percent disagreeing.
Presented with the statement, “After years and years of efforts to restrict free expression, we will immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech,” 53 percent agreed, against only 26 percent who disagreed. Censorship is a major issue in Britain, which lacks a First Amendment and sees thousands arrested for “grossly offensive” communications every year, up to and including sharing George Floyd memes in private WhatsApp groups.
Additionally, 56 percent of Britons support imposing tariffs on foreign countries “to protect UK workers and families [and] enrich our citizens to benefit UK citizens.” This result is particularly curious, as while economic nationalism has been part of America’s public discourse for years, free trade dogma stands virtually unchallenged among Britain’s political and media establishment.
A majority of 51 percent also agreed with the statement “there are only two genders: male and female,” against 32 percent who disagreed. Meanwhile, 53 percent support moving to “end the government policy of trying to socially engineer ethnicity and gender into every aspect of public and private life [and] forge a society that is color-blind and merit-based,” against just 23 percent who disagreed.

According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), a human case of bird flu has been reported in England.
The individual, who has acquired the H5N1 virus, had been in prolonged contact with a significant number of infected birds on a farm in the West Midlands. The UKHSA has categorized bird-to-human transmission of this disease as “rare,” noting that such incidents have occurred only a few times in the UK previously.
The infected birds were identified with the DI.2 genotype, a strain observed among birds in the UK this season. This genotype differs from the varieties seen in the US among birds and mammals.
The UKHSA’s Chief Medical Adviser, Professor Susan Hopkins, stated that the risk posed by avian flu to the public is still very low. She emphasized the effectiveness of current systems aimed at early detection and response to potential human cases. There is currently no evidence suggesting further transmission from this initial case.

Numerous current and former federal employees are expressing anger and outrage over the cessation of diversity programs within government agencies, according to posts made in a private Facebook group. These discussions, primarily among individuals associated with the National Park Service (NPS) and Department of the Interior (DOI), reveal apprehensions about President Donald J. Trump’s recent directive to dismantle federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Some have equated the move to historical periods of intense scrutiny, like McCarthyism.
The Trump administration has warned federal workers of disciplinary actions if they resist the order, issuing memos with instructions to report any non-compliance via a dedicated email tip line. A post from a Department of Agriculture (USDA) employee shared this policy communication sent to agency staff along with the reporting email address in the Facebook group. They compared the executive order to investigations into Communist Party membership in the 1950s.
Reactions within the group include criticism and sarcasm, drawing parallels to past political tactics. One user commented on the invocation of constitutional duty amid changes, while another likened the situation to an era of political witch hunts, suggesting figures like the late Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) would be approving of current actions. Notably, history has largely proven McCarthy correct about the communist threat within the U.S. federal government.
Concerns extend beyond policy changes, as individuals in the group ponder potential surveillance, despite assurances of privacy. The Department of the Interior has begun enforcing the policy, and communications among group members advise caution in navigating these directives.

Donald J. Trump’s government is implementing unprecedented sanctions against the nation of Colombia after the South American country refused to accept repatriation flights carrying deported criminal migrants.
Trump announced tariffs on all Colombian imports and the closure of the US embassy’s visa section in Colombia. This announcement followed Colombia’s decision to deny the landing of US military aircraft.
In a blistering statement on Truth Social, Trump described Colombia’s refusal as an action jeopardizing US national security. He attributed the decision to Colombia’s socialist President Gustavo Petro, stating that such actions forced the administration to respond.
Effective measures include imposing an immediate 25 percent tariff on all goods from Colombia, which will increase to 50 percent within a week. Additional steps comprise a travel ban and visa revocations for Colombian government officials, enhanced inspections of Colombian nationals and cargo, and financial sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The news is likely to shock other American partners and allies who have long taken for granted their client-status with the United States.
From President Trump on Truth:
I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:
-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.
-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.
-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.
These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!

Comedian Rob Schneider has offered to cover the cost of parking tickets incurred by relatives of individuals detained in connection with the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C. He made the announcement through his Instagram account on Thursday, inviting family members of the Biden government’s “political prisoners” to submit their parking tickets for reimbursement.
Known for his roles in various smash-hit comedy films and television shows, Schneider referred to the 2021 riots at the Capitol as “The FBI Guided Tour of the Capitol Building” in his Instagram post. He stated, “Seriously, to ANY and ALL Jan 6th, ‘The FBI Guided Tour of the Capitol Building,’ Family Members who, while waiting for your loved ones (political prisoners) to be released GOT TICKETED BY DC POLICE, I WILL PAY FOR YOUR PARKING TICKETS!”
Consequently, the actor has set up a section on his official website with detailed instructions on how individuals can submit their parking tickets for reimbursement. The initiative has a deadline: submissions must be made before January 31, 2025.
A convert to Roman Catholicism in 2023, Schneider has been outspoken about his Catholic faith and strong support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald J. Trump.
Meanwhile, on his first day in office, President Trump signed pardons and commuted sentences for individuals involved in the January 6 events. In total, around 1,580 people were charged by federal prosecutors under the Biden government in connection to the riots. Of those set free by Trump was the leader of the Proud Boys group, Enrique Tarrio, who—despite not even being present in Washington D.C. that day—was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

The treasurer of the Orange County, Florida Democratic Party has been arrested on federal child sex crime charges. Matthew A. Inman, 39, from Orlando, was apprehended after allegedly distributing child sexual abuse material to an undercover officer, according to authorities. The Department of Justice (DOJ) states that he showed interest in boys as young as nine years old and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
According to the DOJ’s criminal complaint, Inman had allegedly saved numerous videos depicting child sexual abuse on his phone between August and October 2024. He reportedly traveled to Las Vegas in October last year, where he engaged in online communications with an undercover officer impersonating the father of a 9-year-old, expressing desires to meet the child for sexual purposes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized his electronic devices while executing a search warrant at his residence. Officials noted that Inman attempted to erase the incriminating material from his phone and hid in his attic during the raid.
In addition to his role with the Orange County Democratic Party, Inman is the president of the Orange County Rainbow Democrats, an LGBTQ advocacy group aligned with Democratic Party principles. His social media activity shows support for transgender and gender issues, and he has criticized Republican President Donald J. Trump.
This arrest was conducted under the DOJ’s Project Safe Childhood initiative, a strategy focused on combating the growing problem of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Inman was taken into custody earlier this month, with the charges carrying a potential prison sentence of five to 20 years if he is found guilty.
