For the first time, The Gaily Show will be offering its endorsements on who to rank in the Minneapolis Mayoral election. Executive Producer Jim Pounds and host John Parker have categorized their ranking endorsements as follows: Rank, Split Vote, No Recommendation.

Rank means both John and Jim agreed that voters should rank the candidate. Split Vote means one of them recommends ranking the candidate and the other doesn’t. No recommendation means neither John nor Jim recommend ranking the candidate.

Later in the show, we’ll preview tomorrow’s elections. Check-in on the Government Shutdown.

This week’s Big Story is how the Trump Dept. of HHS plans to issue three rules that will bar federal Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements to any hospital/medical facility that provides gender affirming care to any trans person younger than 18 (and in one case, 19). This is essentially an attack on all blue state hospital providers that provide puberty blockers and hormones to trans kids/youth—horrible! The Big Interview is with Sheryl Weikal, an Illinois lawyer who encountered massive discrimination when she came out as transgender in 2016 . When the state of Illinois agency that regulates attorney licensing refused to prohibit lawyers and judges from engaging in discrimination, Sheryl sued—and won! Here’s is an incredible story of perseverance, grit and bravery! In Random Acts I talk about standing up for transgender students and athletes in MN.
