• Nice, NAFTA. Way back when talks to renegotiate NAFTA began, the administration of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—self-described feminist, appointer of a gender-balanced Cabinet—made a bold, on-brand request: that the new agreement include a chapter on gender equality.

Now, as the specifics of the new, roll-off-the-tongue United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or USMCA come to light, we're learning more about whether Canada achieved that goal.

The draft agreement falls short of the entire chapter Canada was after, but "we succeeded at getting gender discrimination, more broadly, included in the deal," a Canadian official told Politico.

The official's upbeat tone seems warranted. Buried in the massive agreement is wording that requires the three nations to take steps to protect workers against discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual orientation and—notably—gender identity.

"We viewed it as important to get gender identity included in the agreement," the Canadian official said. "It's a win for us."

Of course, news of the provision comes days after The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is weighing a new definition of gender that would be strictly based on sex organs at birth. The change could erase some existing protections for transgender individuals.

In that regard, the new NAFTA measure may still catch the attention of conservatives—the agreement is not yet final—but it's likely a hopeful development for a U.S. LGBTQ community that feels increasingly under attack. Politico

• Bomb threat. Pipe bombs addressed to Hillary Clinton, California Rep. Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, liberal billionaire George Soros, and John Brennan, who served as CIA director during the Obama administration, were intercepted on Tuesday. The device intended for Brennan was sent to CNN's New York office, prompting an evacuation. Several of the pipe bombs were labeled with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's office as the return address, and one was sent back to her office as a result. Investigations are ongoing. New York Times

• Blue-collar boom? Economic growth is boosting blue-collar jobs that don't require a college degree at the fastest rate in 30 years—but 75% of those jobs belong to men.

• A bad trip. No Choice Travel looked like a boutique travel agency in lower Manhattan. But the storefront only advertised travel to three destinations—places New York women would have to travel to to have abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy. The activist project was launched by Erika Christensen and Garin Marschall, who had to travel to Colorado to end Christensen's nonviable pregnancy at 30 weeks because of a provision in the New York state penal code that predates Roe v. Wade and criminalizes abortion at that stage. The Cut

• Private label bust. Women's clothing is not working out for Amazon. Clothing makes up 88% of Amazon's private label brands, but only 1% of its private label sales. And four out of five Amazon women's clothing brands sell fewer than 100 items a month. Bloomberg
