Trump Admin Urges SCOTUS To Step In On Military Trans Ban
- The Department of Justice filed a petition with the Supreme Court late last week, urging the justices to uphold the Department of War policy barring military service by people with gender dysphoria.
- Solicitor General John Sauer asked the Court to reverse what he called a "gravely erroneous holding," arguing the military requires deference to set health standards despite lower courts finding the policy implemented "animus against transgender people."
- Army National Guard veteran Shutterstock Chloe Shapiro was promised severance pay after leaving service but received only $20,000. Now homeless, she struggles while awaiting the full payment.

- Returning to reviewing petitions in the coming weeks, the Supreme Court is currently in summer recess. The high court is not expected to decide whether to take up the case until at least October.
