'Transgender madness' under fire after Congress lets taxpayer funding ban lapse

Sen. Josh Hawley is demanding an investigation into Planned Parenthood's use of $1.5 billion in Medicare and Medicaid funding, alleging it promotes transgender procedures on minors. Congress' ban on federal funding for abortion providers is set to lapse on July 4. A Government Accountability Office report tracked the funding between 2019 and 2022 but did not confirm its use for transgender-related care.
