BREAKING: North Dakota’s Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill that restricts transgender health care in the state, immediately making it a crime to give gender-affirming care to people younger than 18.
endorsed by major medical associations,
but it has increasingly come under attack in many conservative legislatures, including North Dakota’s, where lawmakers have passed at least three anti-trans bills this year. The measure that Burgum signed Wednesday received veto-proof support from GOP lawmakers — though some Republicans did vote against it, alongside all Democrats.
The new law takes immediate effect and allows prosecutors to charge a health care provider with a felony — up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines — for performing sex reassignment surgery on a minor. It also enables prosecutors to charge a provider with a misdemeanor — up to 360 days in prison and $3,000 in fines — for giving gender-affirming medication, like puberty blockers, to a trans child.

Kim says North Korea's 1st spy satellite is ready for launchNorth Korean leader Kim Jong Un says his first military spy satellite is ready for launch. Establishing a surveillance system in space is one of Kim’s key military objectives. State media Wednesday quoted Kim as saying satellites were necessary for North Korea to “use pre-emptive military force when the situation demands.” That refers to the North’s escalatory nuclear doctrine, which authorizes pre-emptive nuclear strikes. Kim said serious security threats are posed by his rivals' military drills. The United States and South Korea have been expanding combined drills to beef up their deterrence as North Korea escalates its weapons activities. North Korea has sent satellites into space before, but experts question whether it has sophisticated cameras capable of spying.
