Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris made desperate bids to woo young men, or the "bros" of Gen Z. In the final weeks of the campaign, Trump appeared on several popular podcasts, including "The Joe Rogan Experience." The demographic ended up swinging for Trump, in a move that surprised some pollsters and political analysts − but not men's psychology experts. 👉 Why Trump's strategy succeeded.

Meet the family behind the Supreme Court transgender care case

Tennessee's ban on medication and treatments for transgender youth goes before the U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 4. Behind the hot-button politics surrounding the issue, there is a real family: a teen identified in court documents as L Williams,  and her parents, Brian and Samantha Williams. Their story sits at the center of a watershed legal case that could affect transgender youth medical treatment across the U.S. 👉 What life has been like for the Williams family.
