the headline makes it sound like they chose to do this but in reality it was because the courts made them because the original decision was unconstitutional. :)
I have heard that a part of it may have been unit cohesion within the military. People go through hell together in training. If, at any point along that line, they were able to remark “Oh, you’re trans? Whatever, man. You’re the one who’s got my back when I’m getting the mounted MG into position.” then federal discrimination may have actually ruffled some real army feathers.
Deep down I knew there was no chance it wasn’t forced. They’re actively ignoring other court orders so I guess even these evil fucks sometimes realize to pick their battles.
They’re fully aware most of their policies are going to get shot down in court, that’s why they’re carpet bombing the US with bullshit right now.
If we all breath a sigh of relief that some new policy to force toddlers to work in slaughterhouses got shot down, we’re likely missing the 30 odd, convoluted deregulation policies that slip right past the new cycle because they’re written in legalese and seem abstract to 99% of non-wealthy Americans.
I don’t know how many times I can scream that they’re robbing us blind while distracting us with stupid cultural nonsense.
Things could be so much better, but on a few occasions I have been pleased to see that even Trump can’t stop environmental progress. Coal will never be big again, and renewables are still the best way to fix rising utility prices; in large part because of what Democratic presidents have built over decades. Pro-environment groups are still doing their damnedest even in a hostile administration.

Just because courts ordered it…

They chose to listen to the courts instead of the executive. That’s sadly pretty huge
I am so glad to see somebody upholding their oath to support and defend the constitution.
I wish the President would do the same, the slob
I’m pleasantly surprised it wasn’t just ignored. Not like anyone would have enforced it.

Oh I know. Climate change is getting accelerated as fuck right now. And so many other things you cannot even know what to be most concerned about

Actually, if the economy crashes (like under the pandemic) that will slow climate change quicker than our proposed mitigation plans.
100% they’re literally diarrhoea-shitting policies up the wall and seeing which fecal stains the courts and the economy miss or don’t care about.
This is a success. We need to do more now. No relief, just motivation.
I’m still glad to see that the military, at least, is still respecting court orders.
Cue malicious compliance in 3…2…1…
