In Nebraska, state Senator Machaela Cavanaugh has been filibustering an anti-trans package for seven weeks. The measure seeks to ban gender-affirming care for minors and penalize their healthcare providers.

Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh: “I am going to give you everything I can for your children, and I will continue. No matter what happens today, I will continue. And I am sorry that there’s nothing more I can do within my control. I am doing everything I can within my control, and I am sorry.”

Cavanaugh has blocked every related bill from consideration in the Nebraska Legislature, vowing to “burn this session to the ground over this bill.” Nebraska’s filibuster rules allow for taking bathroom breaks and sitting.
