TAKEOFF.

Trump Bans Men from Women’s Sports.

The White House issued an executive order on Wednesday banning males from participating in women’s and girls’ sporting events, fulfilling a campaign promise to keep men out of women’s sports.

The order mandated that federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, will interpret Title IX regulations as banning boys and men from participating in female sports. Noncompliant organizations risk losing federal funding and facing legal action.

Officials also stated that Wednesday’s actions would affect the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles by targeting visas for transgender athletes, stating males intending to compete against women would be potentially investigated for fraud.

Before signing the Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports order, President Trump, surrounded by dozens of female athletes, declared, “From now on, women’s sports will be only for women.”

Protests Held Nationwide Over Trump Policies.

Demonstrations took place across 50 states on Wednesday as part of the 50501 Movement, with protests against recent Trump administration policies.

In Washington, D.C., several hundred protesters gathered outside the U.S. Capitol and the Department of Labor, voicing concerns over USAID cuts and Elon Musk’s role in restructuring the federal government through the Department of Governmental Efficiency.

Similar protests in cities like New York and Chicago targeted broader policy shifts, including immigration enforcement and executive actions.

Organizers linked the administration’s direction to ideas outlined in Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint, though the document itself is not being formally implemented by the administration.

USPS Lifts a Ban on Packages from China.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) resumed accepting inbound packages from China and Hong Kong on Wednesday, just hours after suspending service following new trade policies.

The move came after President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports and eliminated the “de minimis” trade loophole, which allowed duty-free shipments under $800.

The policy change is expected to impact Chinese e-commerce platforms like Temu and Shein, which rely on low-cost direct shipping to U.S. consumers.

In response, China announced its own tariffs on U.S. goods, launched an antitrust investigation into Google, and is preparing to probe Apple’s App Store practices. Beijing also imposed export controls on critical minerals used in high-tech production.

POLITICS.

Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell was seen in a wheelchair Wednesday after reportedly falling twice—once on the Senate chamber stairs and again during a GOP lunch meeting.

The Army Black Hawk helicopter involved in last week’s fatal collision exceeded its maximum altitude by 100 feet when it collided with a passenger jet, killing 67, the National Transportation Safety Board said.

The CIA offered buyouts to its entire workforce on Tuesday to align with the Trump administration’s national security priorities and inject “renewed energy” into the agency.

Defense Department officials said U.S. troops could be withdrawn from Syria in as little as a month, with plans being developed for a 30, 60, or 90-day pullout.

This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.
