President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an exec President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in women’s and girls’ sports, escalating a debate that has divided lawmakers, advocacy groups, and sports organizations nationwide. Titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” the order directs federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the Department of Justice, to enforce Title IX—a landmark law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs—by defining sex as the gender assigned at birth. Schools that allow transgender girls and women to compete in female categories risk losing federal funding. “With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” Trump declared at a White House signing ceremony, flanked by female athletes who support the measure. “We are restoring fairness and protecting opportunities for women and girls.” The executive order requires state attorneys general to develop best practices for enforcement and directs federal agencies to take immediate action against non-compliant institutions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the administration’s stance that Title IX was designed to protect female athletes, not transgender competitors. “The policy of this administration is that there are only two sexes—male and female. Pretty simple,” Leavitt said at a press briefing. “We are putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice.” Under the order, transgender athletes may compete in male or co-ed categories but are barred from female divisions. Proponents argue this ensures a level playing field in women’s sports, citing concerns over physiological advantages. Opponents call the move discriminatory and a violation of transgender rights. #donaldjtrump #transban #newportbuzz
A coalition of 15 Democrat attorneys general, incl A coalition of 15 Democrat attorneys general, including Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha, issued a joint statement on Wednesday pledging to protect access to gender-transition procedures, in direct opposition to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump. Trump’s executive order, issued on January 28, seeks to end federal funding for medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors, which it describes as “chemical and surgical mutilation.” The order also directs federal agencies to review and rescind policies that rely on guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which Trump’s administration claims lacks scientific integrity. In their statement, the attorneys general slammed Trump’s order as an overreach, arguing that it misrepresents gender-transition treatments and falsely links them to “female genital mutilation.” They defended gender-transition procedures as “essential, life-saving medical treatment” and vowed to challenge any federal action restricting access in their jurisdictions. “Health care decisions should be made by patients, families, and doctors, not by a politician trying to use his power to restrict your freedoms,” the statement read. The coalition also pointed to a recent court ruling that forced the federal government to resume funding that had been frozen under Trump’s administration, emphasizing that federal agencies “cannot pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate” grants for gender-transition treatments. The attorneys general who joined the statement represent California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin. #peterneronha #donaldjtrump #newportbuzz #transgender
And just like that, they’re gone! Tickets for t And just like that, they’re gone! Tickets for the 2025 @newportfolkfest sold out in less than 60 seconds (closer to 1 second) on Wednesday afternoon—despite organizers not announcing a single performer. The iconic festival, set to take place July 25-27 in Newport, R.I., has become known for its surprise guests and historic performances. Past years have featured unannounced appearances from legends like Paul Simon, Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Beck, Jack White, and Roger Waters. Fans hoping to secure tickets flooded the festival’s online system as soon as sales opened, only to find themselves shut out within seconds. Many took to social media to vent their frustration, while others immediately turned to resale platforms, where ticket prices skyrocketed to over $1,000 within minutes. Festival organizers have yet to hint at this year’s lineup, but given Newport Folk’s reputation, attendees can likely expect big names, unexpected collaborations, and unforgettable moments. #newportfolkfest #newportri #newportbuzz
