Good morning from Washington, where the Biden administration doesn’t like Florida’s barring use of Medicaid to pay for “transgender treatments.” Medical groups that favor such trans procedures aren’t cooperating in a court case, Tyler O’Neil reports. A graphic designer stands up to Colorado’s insistence that she violate her Christian faith by celebrating same-sex weddings, Mary Margaret Olohan writes. On the podcast, an activist fighting the exploitation of children unpacks what’s happening at the border. Plus: Bob Moffit prescribes how to fix Medicare; Daren Bakst and David Ditch expose an Agriculture Department slush fund; and Dennis Prager ponders the pricelessness of our pets. Fifty years ago today, armed members of the American Indian Movement surrender, ending a 71-day siege of the historic massacre site of Wounded Knee on South Dakota’s Ridge Reservation.
