In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen catch each other up on their respective holiday shenanigans, including Lizette wandering the streets of Spain like an oblivious horror movie victim, and Stephen throwing down in the kitchen. We talk Congressional Dems asking Pam Bondi to do her job and enforce federal hate crime statutes, the federal court's smackdown of the DOJ’s request for CHOP patient’s private medical records, and the continued erasure of trans people from federal programs and websites. In Allies & Assholes we uplift New York’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for selecting trans rabbi and activist Abby Stein to his transition team. And we drag Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy for his campaign to investigate 18 states for permitting trans athletes to participate in girls sports.
