Russia's Endgame Requiem

As Russia bleeds men and obsesses over births, the war begins to look less like madness than demographic strategy.

United States v. Skrmetti

Whether Tennessee's law prohibiting gender-affirming medical care for minors constitutes sex discrimination under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Tennessee's SB 1 bans puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors when used for gender-affirming purposes, while permitting the same drugs for other medical uses. The United States and private plaintiffs argue the law facially classifies by sex — a minor's access to a drug depends on the sex assigned at birth.

Over 20 states have enacted similar bans. The decision will set the constitutional standard governing gender-affirming care restrictions nationwide, touching both equal protection doctrine and the emerging scope of sex-based classifications post-Bostock.
