The House of Representatives has rejected a bill to establish a Smithsonian women's history museum. The vote followed a significant partisan split regarding the proposed legislation.
Democrats reportedly opposed the bill due to specific wording concerning "biological" women and an amendment that would exclude "biological men" from exhibits. This anti-trans amendment led to a revolt among Democratic lawmakers, causing them to sour on the bill.
The Republican-backed language and amendment created a deadlock, ultimately preventing the bill's passage. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
