A new bill introduced in the Missouri legislature makes it even less likely that people will see the state as a desirable destination. It would put teachers on the sex offense registry if they “contribute to social transition” of a trans youth- including pronouns, haircuts, information, and more. It would make the actions of the teacher “contributing to social transition” a class E felony. https://www.losangelesblade.com/2024/02/29/missouri-teachers-using-affirming-pronouns-could-face-felony-crime/#Missouri#Bill#Trans
After months of talks, Senate negotiators on Sunday released a sweeping #bipartisan border #security deal that is aimed at discouraging migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
The $118B #NationalSecurity#legislation also includes billions of dollars in funding for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-Pacific & humanitarian aid….
Republicans openly admitting to sabotaging efforts to fix the #border.
Of COURSE republicans don't want to fix anything. They'd have nothing to run on if shit got fixed. #DEMOCRATS fix things. Republicans muck shit up and then cry about how democracy doesn't work. From: MSW
Ron Johnson says he’s leading an effort to obstruct a deal on #border#security.
Ron Johnson takes credit for the Senate recessing before voting on any border security measure.
maga Republican Refuses to Back #Border#Bill Because It Could Help Biden's Poll Numbers
Creating the problem then blaming Democrats for the problem has been standard Republican operating procedure for decades.
The Republican congressman admitted Wednesday that he will not be supporting any solutions for the border because they could be beneficial for #PresidentBiden Biden's poll numbers.
Of Course, republicans Vote "NO" on border funding, it's the republican strategy- to Fix Nothing, spend all day lying about the Border problems & 'Gaslighting' their base.
#magaMike Johnson to Jake Tapper: Now is not the time for immigration reform...it's too complicated.
Got a replacement blower #ECM#motor from northamericahvac.com - had to order from the States. Installed it, and ... furnace was still throwing an #error code meaning "incorrect #signal from ECM motor" once, then "no signal from ECM motor" forever after.
After double-checking, I saw the part number on the box didn't match what I'd ordered - but that turned out to be a red herring. The box number was for the unprogrammed motor.
The relays arrived today. I'm going to replace the 2 #electrolytic#reservoir#capactiors on the board as well - spending 17 years 20cm from a giant gas burner probably hasn't done them any favours. But those didn't arrive. I can't even tell if they've shipped.
Coda: got the #FedEx bill for tax & #customs clearance/#brokerage fees on the first motor today. $111.
Wanna bet northamericahvac.com didn't do the #paperwork on the 2nd motor right, and I get another #bill for that one?
One of the handful of #Christians who actually stands for what #Jesus taught lays the smack down on the co-sponsor of a #Texas#bill that sought to mandate the display of the #TenCommandments in every #publicSchool in the state. He methodically shredded her arguments, and left her stammering as she tried in vain to push this #unconstitutional, immoral, and intellectually bankrupt bill. Fortunately, her #legislation was shot down and will not become #law in Texas.
#NC#Republican#lawmakers on Tues overrode the Democratic governor’s veto of a bill that overhauls who runs elections & achieves a long-sought goal of the state’s #GOP.
The #legislation creates bipartisan boards that could #deadlock on establishing #EarlyVoting locations or #certifying results….
unprecedented concentrations of wealth and power, and devastated the lives of millions—the American political system, indeed, American democratic life is in jeopardy. The time has come to do what our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents did. The time has come to make America progressive, indeed, radical again. The time has come to renew the fight for an Economic Bill of Rights for All Americans.
#DianneFeinstein, centrist stalwart of the Senate, dies at 90
A trailblazer for women in politics, she led the Intelligence Committee and helped mold the federal bench. Amid health setbacks, she faced calls to resign.
Of all the #legislation that crossed #Feinstein’s #Senate desk, the #bill w/which she was most associated was the #AssaultWeaponsBan that President Bill #Clinton signed into #law in 1994. The uphill effort showcased Feinstein at her most determined. When a more snr senator, Larry Craig (R-ID), questioned her experience on #gun issues, she reminded him that she had become mayor of #SanFrancisco as a result of a double assassination. “I know something about what #firearms can do,” she said.
⚠️ Це доволі контроверсійний закон, адже Британія славиться не тільки ліберальними цінностями, але й любов'ю до таких речей як ...стеження. Лондон – ніби №1 за кількістю камер спостереження в світі
Every year, hundreds of #greyhounds in #WestVirginia suffer from painful broken bones, dislocations, and muscle injuries as they are forced to race for people’s “ #entertainment .”
The state’s two tracks are the only places left in the country where the cruel #racing is allowed — and 666 greyhounds paid for it in 2021 alone,
with the state gaming industry reporting that number of #injured#dogs included 218 dogs who suffered broken bones and four greyhounds who later were #killed.
But now, a federal #bill could end gruesome greyhound racing for good. HR 3894, the #GreyhoundProtectionAct, would amend the federal Animal Welfare Act to ban greyhound racing and remote gambling on the dogs.
Water #service has been disconnected for #tenants in a metro Atlanta apartment complex, due to lack of #payment from the #property#owner — even though tenants are billed and #pay for their water use every month.
And naturally the property owner is blaming his tenants for their predicament. :eyeroll: 😠
"The first, a resolution, proposes the establishment of a cannabis work group to examine short-term issues, and the second, a bill, proposes establishing a cannabis advisory panel, to help with longer-term issues of cannabis legalization."
Regarding the #corrupt#Bill#Barr saying he will vote for the biggest traitor in American history, the criminal defendant donald t.
The willingness to criticize brazenly criminal behavior, and serious moral failings ("his own interests and...ego") and YET be willing to vote for such a person says volumes about that moral vacuum in which the #fascist#republicans operate.
