S. 5202 would bar federal funds from any research or publication on gender transition in minors. Blackburn and Tuberville cosponsored it on July 30 — two weeks before Medicare's agency published the rule ending Medicaid coverage for the care itself. Both are running for governor.
PolitiFact rated the Friends of Byron Donalds PAC ad False. The clip was edited to make David Jolly appear to endorse surgery for children, when he was retelling a grandfather's story about a suicidal trans teenager. Donalds' spokesperson stood by it.

In 2022, 47 House Republicans voted for the Respect for Marriage Act and then 39 voted for the final version. Ellzey voted no both times. In December 2025 a Waco judge asked a federal court to overturn Obergefell outright.
Prop. 318 would let athletes sue schools over bathrooms and locker rooms, and would reach private leagues like Little League. Arizona already bans trans girls from school sports. Biggs is running on it anyway — and if it passes, undoing it takes a three-fourths supermajority.
