"Nebraska Legislature in Turmoil Over Anti-Trans Bill Filibuster"
TL;DR
State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh compared a bill that would ban gender-affirming therapies for those under age 19 to the genocide of trans youth, leading to a dispute with Sen. Julie Slama who moved to censure Cavanaugh. Speaker John Arch said Slama's motion would not be taken up, and debate continued. Nebraska lawmakers have advanced only 26 bills to the second round of debate, prompting Arch to plan for day and night work later this month to get more bills considered.
