The GOP-controlled House approved its rules package on Friday evening, including provisions targeting transgender and immigrant rights, but notably did not include the trans bathroom ban Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) had proposed.
The Republican introduced her controversial ban in November to restrict access to all single-sex facilit[ies] on Federal property based on biological sex. She admitted to HuffPost the ban specifically targeted incoming Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender woman to be elected to Congress.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who narrowly won reelection to the chambers top job earlier on Friday, had reportedly assured Mace that her bathroom ban would be included in the package.
Mace congratulated Johnson on his reelection and did not make any mention of the bathroom bans absence from the rules package.

..............So Mace must be up in arms over the omission that she is sure endangers all women, right? Actually, no.
More from Fiallo:
Mace doesnt appear to have any bad blood over the omission. She posted Friday morning that Johnson still had her vote to remain House Speaker.
A vote for @SpeakerJohnson is a vote for President Trumps America First agenda, she wrote. After the last few days of chaos weve seen in these tumultuous times, we need steady leadership and continuity. We need to stick together and get to work. We dont have any time to waste.
In case you thought Mace had even the tiniest bit of principles.

(1,350 posts)After South CarolinaRepublican U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace made a spectacle of transgender peoples access to bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol at the end of the 118th Congress last year, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has quietly announced a rule restricting bathroom usage in the 119th Congress.
The policy, detailed on page 26 of the 87-page January 3 edition of the Congressional Record, mandates that single-sex facilitiesrestrooms, locker rooms, and changing roomsbe used solely based on a persons gender assigned at birth. Notably, the rule was not included in the high-profile House rules package debated and voted on last week. Instead, it relies on unilateral authority delegated to Johnson under the House rules, which gives him general control over House-controlled facilities.
