The bathrooms on Capitol Hill are currently at the center of the transgender rights debate. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is on a crusade to implement a rule banning transgender women from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol. On Thursday, a transgender rights activist interrupted Mace during a conference at Georgetown, yelling, “This is ridiculous. This is the day after trans day of visibility. We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading.” Mace’s push was prompted by the election of the first trans woman to Congress, Delaware’s Rep.-elect Sarah McBride. “I have already said that I will not use multi-stall women’s restrooms in the Capitol,” McBride told CBS on Thursday. “I would like my approach of respecting everyone to contrast with the disrespect that we are seeing.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Mace’s effort, telling reporters, “They’re not doing this to protect people. They’re endangering women. They’re endangering girls of all kinds and everyone should reject it.” The bathroom debate comes on the heels of far-left critic and Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who says he’s opposed to, quote, “male or formerly male athletes” playing women’s and girls’ sports. “We need to be able to debate contentious issues without just being shut down,” said Moulton. Highlighting the transgender rights debate was part of the GOP’s winning formula in November. One of Donald Trump’s most potent ads attacked Harris on the issue. After voters viewed the ad where Harris talks about supporting using taxpayer money to pay for transgender care of inmates, support for Trump jumped 2.7%, according to data from a Harris super PAC.The journey towards this transformation began with a deep sense of pride in the village's craftsmanship and heritage.

The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. Recommended Videos At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here's the latest: A somber announcement The longest-lived American president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. A Southerner and a man of faith In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world.

Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter. The Clintons react to Jimmy Carter's death Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, remember Carter as a man who lived to serve others. “Hillary and I mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter and give thanks for his long, good life.

The statement recalled Carter's many achievements and priorities, including efforts “to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David." After he left office, the Clinton statement said, Carter continued efforts in "supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn’s devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity — he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the statement said.
