The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up
I’ve spent over 10 years obsessed with so-called “gender verification” tests. Proponents claim they have history and science on their side. They don’t.

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t too—unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Why are witnesses in federal detention?
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.
