Hello everyone. I’m Sign1News anchor Jaideep Goray. Here’s a quick look at the top trending stories making headlines today: If you post an interesting comment about this update, we may add it at the bottom of the screen. — NEW ANALYSIS FROM THE A-C-L-U SHOWS — STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE INTRODUCED MORE THAN 450 ANTI-L-G-B-T-Q BILLS THIS YEAR. MANY TARGET TRANSGENDER YOUTH. NOW, THE WHITE HOUSE AND SUPREME COURT ARE RESPONDING. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING A NEW FEDERAL RULE INVOLVING TRANSGENDER ATHLETES. IT WOULDN’T STOP SCHOOLS FROM LIMITING THEIR PARTICIPATION ON TEAMS THAT CORRELATE WITH THEIR GENDER IDENTITY. BUT IT WOULD MAKE TOTAL BANS A VIOLATION OF TITLE 9. A NEW LAW IN KANSAS IS SET TO PREVENT TRANSGENDER GIRLS FROM PLAYING ON GENDER-CORRELATING TEAMS. IN NORTH DAKOTA — THE STATE SENATE PASSED 10 ANTI-L-G-B-T-Q BILLS JUST ON WEDNESDAY. AND, IN NORTH CAROLINA — 6 BILLS INTRODUCED THIS WEEK TAKE AIM AT SPORTS PARTICIPATION AND GENDER-AFFIRMING TREATMENT FOR MINORS. THE U-S SUPREME COURT IS GETTING INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE — BY DENYING AN EMERGENCY REQUEST YESTERDAY. THE RULING MEANS A 12-YEAR-OLD TRANSGENDER GIRL IN WEST VIRGINIA — CAN RUN TRACK ON THE GIRLS’ TEAM FOR NOW. — THE TENNESSEE STATE HOUSE HAS TWO LESS MEMBERS THAN IT DID YESTERDAY. THE REPUBLICAN-LED HOUSE EXPELED DEMOCRATS JUSTIN JONES AND JUSTIN PEARSON BECAUSE OF A PROTEST THEY LED ON THE CHAMBER FLOOR A WEEK AGO, CALLING FOR GUN REFORM AFTER THE DEADLY SCHOOL SHOOTING IN NASHVILLE. REPUBLICANS SAID THE DEMOCRATS BROKE SEVERAL RULES BY LEADING THE PROTEST. BUT JUSTIN JONES SAY IT IS A CLEAR CASE OF RACISM. THERE WERE ACTUALLY THREE DEMOCRATS WHO LED THE PROTEST — JONES, PEARSON — WHO ARE BLACK MEN AND GLORIA JONES — WHO IS A WHITE WOMAN. GLORIA JONES AGREES. SHE SAYS IT’S CLEAR SHE WAS TREATED AND TALKED TO DIFFERENTLY THAN THE TWO YOUNG BLACK MEN DURING QUESTIONING. SHE AVOIDED BEING EXPELED BY ONE VOTE. AFTER THE VOTES THURSDAY, JONES AND PEARSON CALLED FOR ANOTHER PROTEST OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL ON MONDAY.. — THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER HAS REVEALED HOW GRAMMY AWARD WINNING RAPPER COOLIO DIED. AUTHORITIES SAY HIS DEATH WAS CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE OF FENTANYL, HEROIN AND METHAMPHETAMINE. HE ALSO SUFFERED FROM HEART DISEASE, WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HIS DEATH. AND RECENT USE OF THE DRUG P-C-P WAS ALSO LISTED AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN HIS DEATH. COOLIO — WHOSE REAL NAME WAS ARTIS LEON IVEY — WAS FOUND DEAD IN A FRIEND’S BATHROOM SIX MONTHS AGO. — GOLFER TIGER WOODS SAYS HE WAS IN CONSTANT PAIN DURING THE FIRST ROUND ON THE MASTERS ON THURSDAY. IF YOU RECALL — WOODS WAS IN A HORRIFIC CAR ACCIDENT TWO YEARS AGO WHICH SHATTERED HIS RIGHT LEG. THE LEG HAS BEEN SURGICALLY REPAIRED — WOODS SAID THE LEG HURT WAS SORE ALL DAY — AND HE STRUGGLED. BUT HE DID MAKE IT TO THE SECOND ROUND. WOODS IS 47 YEARS OLD NOW. THIS IS HIS 25TH MASTERS TOURNAMENT — A TOURAMENT HE’S WON 5 TIMES. HE’S NOT SURE IF THIS WILL BE HIS LAST MASTERS. TIGER WOODS RETURNS FOR HIS 25TH MASTERS THIS WEEK. BUT EVEN HE’S NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE HIS LAST. — SOARING EGG PRICES HAVE STABILIZED A BIT. BUT THEY’RE STILL NOT CHEAP. AND THAT HAS CAUSED SOME PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TRY SOMETHING INTERESTING THIS YEAR. PAINTING POTATOES FOR EASTER! POTATO PRODUCERS LOVE THE IDEA AND HAVE BEEN PUSHING OUT MARKETING TO ENCOURAGE IT. THEY ARE OFFERING TIPS ON HOW TO GET THE BEST EASTER SPUD. YOU CAN EITHER USE FOOD COLORING OR REGULAR PAINT. ALSO POTATOES ARE LESS FRAGILE THAN EGGS… AND EASIER FOR KIDS TO HOLD. IT’S HARD TO SAY IF THE PAINTING EASTER POTATOES TREND WILL CONTNUE. — A TOWN IN MASSACHUSETTS IS BEING TERRORIZED BY TURKEYS. POLICE SAY THE AGGRESSIVE TURKEYS ARE FOLLOWING AND INTIMIDATING RESIDENTS, CHASING CARS AND CAUSING CHAOS. WHY ARE THESE TURKEYS SO CRANKY? IS IT AN EARLY THANKSGIVING PROTEST? NO. OFFICIALS IN THE TOWN SAY IT IS MATING SEASON. THE MALE TURKEYS ARE OUT LOOKING FOR A MATE. AND WHEN THEY SEE PEOPLE OR SEE THEIR REFLECTION ON CAR DOORS — THE MALE TURKEYS THINK ITS COMPETITION. OFFICIALS ARE ASKING RESIDENTS TO STOP FEEDING THE BIRDS TO TRY AND LOWER THE CRAZY BEHAVIOR — UNTIL THE MATING SEASON IS OVER — AND FINALLY LET’S CHECK OUT SOME SIGN1NEWS VIEWER COMMENTS. ON THURSDAY — WE SHARED THE ADORABLE STORY OF TWO DOGS — ROLLO AND SADIE — WHO WHINE AND HOWL EVERYTIME THEY SEE EACH OTHER ON FACETIME. THEY USED TO LIVE AND PLAY TOGETHER — UNTIL ONE OF THE DOG’S OWNERS MOVED AWAY. THE VIDEO HAS GONE VIRAL.
