Breitbart: Ed Dept. to Investigate Maine for Defying Trump EO Protecting Girls' Sports
The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Maine's Department of Education for allegedly allowing male athletes to compete in girls' sports, defying President Trump's executive order aimed at protecting women’s athletics. This follows a transgender-identifying boy winning a girls' pole vault competition in Maine.
Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor emphasized that Maine must comply with Title IX to receive federal funding. The investigation also targets the Maine School Administrative District after reports of violations regarding female athletes' rights.
Breitbart: Donald Trump Tells Maine Governor: Comply with Women's Sports EO or Lose Funding
President Trump confronted Maine Governor Janet Mills over her refusal to comply with his executive order that bans biological males from competing in women's sports. He warned her that non-compliance would result in a loss of federal funding and expressed confidence in public support for his stance.
Mills defended her position by stating she follows state and federal laws, indicating a willingness to challenge Trump in court. A recent poll suggests a significant majority of Americans oppose allowing biological men in women's sports, adding weight to Trump's argument.

GB News: EXPOSED: 'Woke’ MoD hires paid MORE than soldiers as Starmer urged to ramp up defence spending ahead of Trump showdown
The Ministry of Defence is hiring two diversity chiefs with salaries exceeding those of starting British Army soldiers. The positions, which focus on diversity and inclusion, come with significant pension contributions funded by taxpayers. Critics argue this spending diverts funds from recruiting and retaining active military personnel.
The British Army is projected to fall below 70,000 troops, raising concerns about its size and readiness. Former Army Chiefs have urged for increased defense spending, while the number of civil servants in the MoD has surpassed that of serving members in the RAF and Royal Navy.

The Epoch Times: Nation’s Biggest School Districts Stand to Lose Billions Over Trump’s DEI Order
The five largest U.S. public school districts risk losing over $5 billion in federal funding annually if they do not comply with President Trump's executive order limiting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The order mandates that schools avoid curricula suggesting inherent racism in U.S. institutions and prohibits race or gender-based special treatment.
Districts like New York City and Los Angeles, which have significant federal funding tied to their DEI initiatives, face potential financial consequences. Conservative groups are actively challenging these programs, arguing they violate civil rights laws, while education leaders supporting DEI are preparing for a legal and ideological battle.
