The White House rolled out its national strategy Thursday for combating antisemitism as the country grapples with record levels of violence, vandalism and hate speech directed at Jewish communities.

President Biden, second gentleman Doug Emhoff and other officials detailed the strategy during a virtual event from the White House. It is the first time the federal government has formulated a national effort to fight antisemitism, and the administration’s effort contains more than 100 provisions that call for congressional action, increased monitoring by technology platforms and improved education at the civic level.

Biden said the strategy has four overarching themes: increasing awareness and understanding of antisemitism; improving safety and security in Jewish communities; reversing the normalizing of antisemitism; and building solidarity across communities.

“It sends a clear and forceful message: In America, evil will not win. Hate will not prevail. The venom of antisemitism will not be the story of our time,” Biden said in a pre-recorded message shared Thursday.

The strategy contains 10 separate calls for technology companies to establish a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech on their platforms and to ensure their algorithms don’t spread antisemitic language, said Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House’s homeland security adviser.

Susan Rice, the outgoing White House domestic policy adviser, said the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., will launch the first ever Holocaust Education Research Center in 2024 as part of an effort to increase awareness about the event, during which millions of Jews were systematically murdered during World War II.

And federal agencies will incorporate material on how to address antisemitism in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility training programs moving forward, Rice said.

Meanwhile he restored funding to the Palestinian Authority so their Pay-to-Slay program can continue. Excuse me for not taking his “national strategy” seriously.

Yes, Tucker. I’m sure (happily married to other people) Jill and Doug are totally having a secret passionate love affair and also flaunting it in front on their spouses, children and grandchildren, camera crews, and, hey, the entire world.

Which makes no sense at all.

Tucker, you don’t even believe this nonsense, either.

Though she was up against the governor’s daughter, Margaret managed to swing some high-profile representation. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff took her case, pro bono, he said, because she was a woman unheard by justice. “I stand behind women — and Margaret, I have her back, too!” he told the room. Emhoff’s argument was simple: His client, widely known as “Good Margaret,” was a credible, working-class woman who simply got used in a deceitful man’s scheme. “She was just an unwitting pawn of the real villain, Don Jr. — I mean, Don John,” he said.

Biden Title IX rules on trans athletes set for election-year delay

Story by Laura Meckler

 • 9h • 6 min read

Athletics is among the thorniest issues confronting supporters of transgender rights, including those in the Biden administration. Polling shows that clear majorities of Americans, including a sizable slice of Democrats, oppose allowing transgender athletes to compete on girls’ and women’s teams. Twenty-five states have statewide bans on their participation, with proponents arguing that trans women have a biological advantage over other participants.

The Biden administration’s proposed regulation, published in April 2023, took a nuanced approach. It would outlaw blanket state bans but gives schools a road map for how they can bar transgender girls from competing in certain circumstances, particularly in competitive sports.

Nonetheless, issuing such a rule risks injecting the issue into an election year in which President Biden faces a close contest with former president Donald Trump, who has promised to ban trans women from women’s sports if reelected.

“Folks close to Biden have made the political decision to not move on the athletics [regulation] pre-election,” said one person familiar with the administration’s thinking. “It seems to be too much of a hot topic.”

A second person reported having received the same message from the administration. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Administration officials did not dispute that the sports rule would be put off but declined to comment on specific timing or any possible political motivations.

“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring all students are guaranteed an educational environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex,” the department official said.

The sports regulation is part of a wide-ranging rulemaking underway on schools’ obligations under Title IX, which bans discrimination on the basis of sex in colleges, universities and K-12 schools that receive federal funding. The main, far more sweeping rule, expected soon, will cover other issues governed by Title IX, including schools’ obligations to investigate allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

As proposed, it would compel schools to let transgender students use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, ban bullying based on their gender identity and ensure students are addressed by the pronouns they use. Schools that fail to follow these rules would be subject to investigations and risk losing federal funding.

But in 2022, with midterm elections looming, the administration cleaved the question of sports from the main regulation and promised to address that in a separate proposal. Last May, the Education Department said both would be released in October — a deadline that came and went without action.

In February, the main Title IX regulation moved to the final stage of review at the White House, while the sports regulation remains under consideration at the Education Department.

The proposed sports regulation, which was published in April 2023, attempted to strike a balance between the rights of transgender students and concerns that other athletes would face unfair competition. While not allowing blanket bans on transgender competitors, it would allow schools to implement narrower restrictions after considering factors such as the sport involved, the age of the students and the level of competitiveness. Schools would also be required to show that the decision relates to an important educational objective and minimizes harm to others.

Advocacy groups have pushed the administration to finalize both rules. They argued that given the state laws now in effect, the two regulations need to be issued together and soon. And while some transgender advocates have complained that the sports rule would still allow for discrimination, most are pushing for it to be completed to provide more protection than currently exists.

“Especially in the midst of this aggressive attack on transgender and gender expansive youth, the administration cannot employ a piecemeal approach when protecting LGBTQI+ students,” said a letter to Biden this month signed by more than 80 advocacy groups focused on women’s and LGBTQ+ rights and abortion access.

While Republicans in statehouses have enacted bans on transgender sports, GOP-run House has worked to pass federal legislation on the issue. Last April, the House approved a national ban on transgender women competing on girls’ and women’s teams; the measure has not been taken up in the Democratic-controlled Senate. A bill barring trans women from Olympic teams cleared the House Judiciary Committee this month on a party-line vote. Republicans made their case in part by highlighting objections from some athletes to the presence of trans competitors.

“The reality is anti-trans lawmakers are expanding the scope of their attack every day,” said Caius Willingham, senior policy advocate at the National Center for Transgender Equality.

But while he favors finalizing the rules quickly, others said the Biden strategy makes sense politically.

“There are people who would say this is not a fight we need to have before this pivotal election,” said Ben Becker, senior vice president at Precision Strategies, who has worked with LGBTQ+ groups. “This is an issue that Republicans have weaponized. For us to just follow them down that rabbit hole, fighting on their terms — that’s never going to be good.”

Conservative opponents say both regulations should be withdrawn because Title IX’s prohibition on discrimination “on the basis of sex” should not be read to include gender identity.

In a meeting last month with officials at the Office for Management and Budget who oversee the final step in the regulatory process, the conservative group Defense of Freedom Institute argued that even if the sports regulation is held back, the main Title IX regulation will require equal treatment in sports because the new rules redefine sex discrimination to include gender identity.

The proposed regulation would “require educational institutions to allow biological males who identify as female to compete in women’s and girls’ athletics,” the group argued in a memo presented at the meeting. The group added that state laws passed to “protect the rights of biological girls and women” will provoke investigations by the Education Department.

The main Title IX regulation would replace one now in place that was written during the Trump administration, which emphasized rights of the accused for schools considering sexual harassment allegations. For instance, it required court-style hearings to adjudicate complaints and gave the accused the right to cross-examine accusers. As a candidate in 2020, President Biden signaled he would replace the regulation, and early in his term, he directed the Education Department to begin the laborious process of reviewing and ultimately writing a new set of rules.

Under the proposed Biden version, neither court-like hearings nor cross-examinations would be required. The proposal also broadens the definition of sexual harassment to include all unwelcome sex-based conduct that created a hostile environment by limiting or denying a person’s ability to participate in school. The definition on the books now — from the Trump-era rule — required that the harassment be severe and pervasive.

The Biden version would also include protections against discrimination related to pregnancy. With abortion rights a major political issue, it’s possible that those protections may be enhanced or at least emphasized, one person familiar with the planning said.

Technically I know what the Second Gentleman of the United States looks like but since his face is an amalgamation of every white man ever, it’s kind of a blur.

His name being Doug certainly doesn’t help.

Biden Administration Reminding People Holocaust Was Actually Bad Thing

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, government officials from various countries gathered at the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp to remember victims and honor survivors. Among them was the first Jewish spouse of a U.S. president or vice president, Second gentleman Doug Emhoff. This visit to Krakow and Berlin this week is an effort by the Biden Administration to show people that the Holocaust and antisemitism are actually real and really really bad. Emhoff, whose great grandparents fled persecution from modern-day Poland in the early 19th century — has been at the forefront of the Biden administration's efforts to address growing antisemitism in recent months and make sure that idiots who have forgotten, or never learned that Nazis are bad guys and perpetrated one of the most evil genocides ever, don’t fucking forget.

When asked what he would do if wife got the nomination for Vice President:

“Well, first I'd say 'Yay!' And then I'm just gonna do what I always do, Atticus. I'm going to support her because it's really important for men and even young boys to support the strong and wonderful women in their lives, and I'm going to do that, and I hope you do that too.”
