ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Democratic Minnesota Attorney Generalfiled a preemptive lawsuit Tuesday against Republican President Donald Trump seeking to block his administration from acting against Minnesota in the way it’sunder a federal push to ban transgender athletes from girls and women’s sports.
“Minnesota brings this lawsuit to stop President Trump and his administration from bullying vulnerable children in this state,” Ellison said at a news conference, quoting the opening line from the lawsuit naming Trump and his attorney general, Pam Bondi.When Bondi announced the administration’s lawsuit against Maine last week, she warned that Minnesota and California could be next.

For example, comprehensive data about cystic fibrosis is scarce among African populations – affecting people who live on the continent as well as those who trace their ancestry there.Black cystic fibrosis patients are more likely than their white counterparts to be among the 10% who don’t benefit from modulator therapies.
While there’s little chance of changing market dynamics, researchers said, one solution is to develop “mutation agnostic” gene therapies targeting all patients with a disease. This approach is being tried in diseases of the retina as well as cystic fibrosis.“There’s a huge push to develop these therapies,” said Dr. Garry Cutting of the Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center.
