The Government Says the Title IX Rulebook Is Clear. LGBTQ+ Students and Survivors Still Need Answers.
Aqua RichJo | September 29, 2026 The federal government has formally removed the Biden administration’s 2024 Title IX regulations and restored the 2020 regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. The change takes effect today, September 29. The 2024 rule explicitly addressed discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity; the restored 2020 rule uses a narrower sexual-harassment standard and gives people accused of misconduct additional procedural protectio

If Nobody Admits They Meant to Discriminate, Does the Discrimination Suddenly Stop Counting?
Aqua RichJo | September 28, 2026 A school rule can look the same on paper for every student and still produce sharply unequal outcomes. For years, federal civil-rights officials could examine that kind of disparate impact when deciding whether a school policy needed to change. The Trump administration has narrowed that approach, according to an Associated Press review of changes in federal school oversight. In July, the U.S. Department of Education removed disparate-impact pr

Cattle Groups Say ICE Activity Is Disrupting the Beef Supply Chain

Supreme Court Temporarily Clears Federal Voter Database Known to Flag Citizens
Aqua RichJo | September 26, 2026 The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily cleared the way for states to use the federal SAVE database to check voter eligibility while a lawsuit continues. The September 25 emergency order pauses a lower court’s restrictions on the revamped system. It does not finally decide whether the system is lawful, and states are not required to use it. The Court’s three liberal justices dissented. The ruling lands as Texas counties are already processing a

Two Hundred Thousand Records Later, Texas Voters Are Still Expected to Catch the State’s Mistake
Aqua RichJo | September 26, 2026 The known backlog of delayed Texas voter-registration records has reached at least 200,000. Applications and updates submitted through the Department of Public Safety’s online driver’s license portal were not sent to counties as expected.
