A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday ruled that a $1.7 trillion government funding bill was unconstitutionally passed in 2022 through a pandemic-era rule that allowed lawmakers in the House of Representatives to #vote by #proxy rather than in person.
U.S. District Judge James Wesley #Hendrix in Lubbock reached that conclusion as he granted Republican Texas Attorney General Ken #Paxton’s request to block a provision of that bill that gave #pregnant#workers stronger legal protections.
August 12th is National Vinyl Record Day (apparently) so I grabbed all the vinyl I could find in my house. It's not a lot. I used to have many crates full. But after many moves, I thinned the collection down to nearly nothing, as I do digital music mostly now (I have no turntable anymore either). But sometimes, I grab a couple. Bought the bottom row here recently. Odd I can't find my copy of Telekon. Pretty sure I still have that one somewhere. I hope so. And wow, I have two copies of Green Thoughts, one signed, one not. Check out that picture disc. I should get better photos of it eventually. It's rad.
My annual sharing of a U.S. Army veteran’s take on the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Woodstock music festival on Yasgur’s farm in 1969. #MusicOfMastodon #ClassicRock #Hendrix #Woodstock
Classic cover by the latest guitarist to sit in the Deep Purple chair. A demo for the PRS Hendrix amplifier. Great tones, and tasty notes in a familiar package.
