US Treasury and State Education Departments Emerge in New Network with Newsom and Hochul

Bruce Blakeman's pledge to ban transgender students from girls' bathrooms in NY has sparked a significant expansion of the political network surrounding the issue, drawing in 4 previously unseen co-actors. This incident, now connecting figures like Addison Rae and organizations such as Our Brothers Initiative and the New York State Education Department with established entities, suggests a broadening of the culture war's reach. The integration of such diverse actors indicates the increasing entanglement of social policy debates with national political discourse and popular culture.
