Does Donald Trump's 'transgender mice' claim have teeth? Govt report reveals real spending figures on Biden's experiments

Donald Trump claimed in his Congress address that the government spent $8 million "making mice transgender," prompting laughter and controversy. His statement echoed a Republican-backed initiative targeting alleged wasteful research. However, fact-checkers found that the cited studies examined hormone effects on diseases rather than gender transitions in mice. The White House later reworded its statement but stood by the claim. The debate underscores tensions between political messaging and the realities of scientific funding.
