You may have noticed lately that the gop is working overtime to make the lives of trans people more difficult than their lives already are. The gop wants to kick trans people out of bathrooms, sports. 31 states introduced legislation. The military. Doctors offices. Antitransgender health care. And trans women especially are under threat at all times. Was shot and killed on an east dallas street saturday morning. Then those of you who know all thats awful call trans people brave for putting up with it. Trans people dont want to have to be brave. They just want to be. This week we are talking to black trans women in dallas, texas, about trying to just be. Im back in dallas, yall. Yay while we often think about the black Trans Community being in big cities like l. A. And new york, we need to see that black trans folks are everywhere. Even in a state like texas, where 70 of the population identifies as christian, and not just Easter Christmas christian, megachurch christian. That is exactl
For later today at 1 30 p. M. Eastern. We also expect more floor speeches on policing reforms after Senate Republicans introduced their bill yesterday. Now, live to the senate floor. The president pro tempore the senate will come to order. The chaplain, dr black, will open the senate in prayer. The chaplain let us pray. Eternal god, our hearts are steadfast toward you. Lead us safely to the refuge of your choosing, for you desire to give us a future and a hope. Lord, provide us with grateful hearts to appreciate your mercies that are new each day. Today, give our senators the power to do your will, as they realize more fully that they are servants of heaven and stewards of your mysteries. Give them your perspective on their daily tasks and every decision they must make. Remind them that people usually dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. May faithfulness to you become the litmus test by which they evaluate each action. We pray in your powerful name. Amen. The

Back in washington, Speaker Pelosi is still refusing to let the house to begin impeachment proceedings even though theyre calling for it. While shes holding out, pelosi told senior democrats privately that she simply wants to see trump behind bars. So democrats plan to kick start investigations next week, reinvigorate inquiries and set up hearings and schedule contempt votes. More on that later in the show.
