According to the petition, "it took only six months for Mr. Giuliani to resume his defamatory campaign" against the mother and daughter, which inclu...

After it was revealed that a trans student played on the women's volleyball team at one of the conference's universities, a group of over a dozen Republican lawmakers is calling on a collegiate athletic conference to prohibit transgender women from participating.

NEW ORLEANS A federal appeals court in New Orleans issued an injunction Wednesday that halts Louisiana's proposal to hang the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms in the state starting next year. A state motion to temporarily halt an earlier order issued by U.S. District Judge John deGravelles in Baton Rouge while the case is still pending was denied by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge's order remains in force far after the law's January 1 deadline for posting the commandments, since arguments before a 5th Circuit panel are set for January 23. The state argues that only the five school districts that are defendants in a legal dispute are impacted by deGravelles' order. However, while the appeal is pending, it is unclear how or whether the law would be applied ...
