In a letter informing Manfred that the Justice Department was referring MLB to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for investigation, Dhillon wrote: “The three players expressed their opposition to MLB's pro-Pride orthodoxy.

Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), confirmed it will not provide pediatric transgender procedures for two decades in its six medical centers. The settlement is part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into transgender procedures in health care, and Cleveland Clinic is the second major health system to comply.
