None of you read the article or the white house quote. This is a purposefully misleading headline. Bill was poisoned by gop, if he doesn't sign it a shit load of other things are fucked, by design from conservatives.
None of you are adults, man. Gop is a cancer. You have to amputate your leg. Yes, you stop cancer spreading, but you lose your leg. Designed so that you're fucked either way, but the other way, you die. Grow up.
As a detail that's missing from the article and kinda sorta lied about in the headline, it seems like this gender-affirming care was introduced in 2016 by the Obama administration as part of other additions of transition-related care.
Whoever could have predicted this. The Democrats will throw anyone under the bus.
If you are a trans person in Cascadia, consider fighting for Cascadian indepence, or if you live somewhere else, fight for any indepenence movement you can find. Do not let your fear prevent you from dealing a blow to the United States, because it's a worthless nation.
The bill just "includes" the provision? Nobody put it there, it's just that new language often spontaneously erupts in a piece of legislation?
And why the vague language of "limits access to gender-affirming care services". What's actually in the bill is no more complex and a lot more clear. Are psychological gender-affirming services still available? Yep. Are puberty blocking drugs still covered? Yep. All that's blocked is coverage for procedures that might result in sterilization - procedures that are already not generally done on minors who arguably aren't yet capable of giving proper consent.
Tell the whole story or GTFO. Debating Biden's complicity is fine, but don't skip the Republican's role with the passive voice like you're CNN describing how more violence just "erupted" in Gaza. Don't hide what's actually in the bill and potentially cause trans kids to not bother seeking medical services because they were misled by your hack politics.
This is not legitimate outrage at the legislation. If it were, you wouldn't have left out the main protagonists, what's actually in the legislation, and the entire story. It's just mastebetory outrage bait meant to divide the left which is (surprise) the entire reason Republicans forced the issue to begin with.
If you're not already a right wing troll, you should go find the people who pay money for posting this kind of garbage.
They start with the weakest and most vulnerable and then they work their way out to the rest of us.
Fuck off Joe. Stop doing Trump's dirty work for him.
Pocket veto that shit.
This is who he is, a pushover.
What should he have done instead? Send the bill back to congress? What are the consequences of not getting this bill done?
Democrats say the American public doesn't need the 2nd amendment anymore, but here they are proving to your face that when push comes to shove, no one will be coming to help you when your lawn has a mob of 61 MAGA coming to lynch you for whatever delusional reason they manufacture.
We are on our own.

You're gonna die of old age soon biden, but your garbage legacy will linger forever in the history books like shitting on the pages and slamming the book shut.
A cowardly empty shell of a man to the bitter end.
Enjoy hell you piece of shit.
I dunno man, rhetoric like that. Doesn't sound like you'll be the most easy person to share this earth with either. Better to figure out another way forward them encouraging civil war, no?
The fuck? Did Joe fall and bump his head?
🤦♂️
Edit: I see why...
almost $900 billion defense bill
Yup, gotta keep the Military Industrial Complex going... 🙄

Or gotta give Ukraine one last chance of achieving something before Putin's favourite peon gets into power.
