WHO SPRUNG SANTOS?

A group of three people are on the hook for $500,000 to keep Rep. George Santos out of jail.

The scandal-plagued congressman has fought hard to keep their identities secret.

But his latest appeal was denied, and their identities will be publicly released on Thursday.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

If anyone would support a bill for the disabled you’d think it’d be wheelchair bound Abbott. Right? Wrong!

CHRISTIAN HATE!
We know now why people are leaving the religion.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an appeal from a Christian college in Missouri that sued the Biden administration over its decision to shield transgender people from housing discrimination.

https://news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-declines-appeal-christian-134217639.html

At issue was a 2021 Biden administration memo that interpreted a federal anti-discrimination housing law as protecting transgender Americans.

BREAKING NEWS

Trump appointed judge moves trial to a red district favoring Trump!

FL State Attorney Dave Aronberg noted on Tuesday, hours U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon decided the case would be held there, that four of those are "red counties" while St. Lucie "is a swing county."

"So the jury pool will definitely be more favorable to Trump, as compared to one in Palm Beach County or Washington, D.C.," Aronberg said

@realTuckFrumper The Hunter Biden decision is the worst possible outcome for the propaganda operation.

A little bit of tax fraud and an illegally obtained handgun.

Biden cooperated and pleaded, will pay a fine and some probation.

It's nothing in the political scheme of things, and none of it blows back on POTUS.

Of course, that won't stop the from lying about it and screaming "fix!"

At the rural school district I last worked at, we had 1500 students, of whom 1,000 were free lunch and 500 were not. The cost of personnel (an entire department!), computers, and software for vetting students to make sure those 500 didn't get free lunch cost more than the cost of simply feeding them, already.

The GOP jihad about preventing those 500 from getting free lunch is not about taxes or expense, it's about being mean to children. #gop #antichild #school #lunch #meanness

"I WAS BUSY."

Trump's nonsensical, bizzaro classified documents defense changes...... AGAIN!

NOW Trump claims he had shirts mixed with the classified documents and he was such a busy man that he hadn't had time in over a year to go through the boxes.

Next week he'll claim space aliens planted the documents because they are afraid of his border protection skills!
