It wasn’t sufficiently dehumanizing of pregnant girls, woman to pass a six week abortion ban that, effectively, includes for those who are victims of rape, incest. Extreme “religious” zealots indicated intent to go ever further back, give full rights at fertilization, and IVF. Sen. Yarborough seemed to indicate pre-fertilization, when “two souls” come together. And said ,” two wrongs don’t make it right” in addressing those who had just giving difficult, emotional testimonies of rape, domestic violence. The “religious” right negates the existing lives, humanity of girls, women. Chillingly inferring their lives are expendable, to be superseded by their biology of fertility. Including re: nonconsensual sex. Incubators.
Yeah, these unbelievably ignorant and borderline psychotic zealots are becoming infuriatingly obnoxious anymore. But what really pisses me off is that millions of even dumber fools and crazier religious nutjobs keep voting for these demented USA-holes...
This long list of terribly corrupt, big government, fiscally irresponsible, anti-free speech bills the Republicans (and even some Dems) proudly passed are irrefutable proof that today's "conservatives" don't even know or care what actual conservative ideals once were.
These bills are so antithetical to the fundamental values conservatives once claimed to uphold that now, even just calling them conservatives is a grave and misleading injustice. I've got plenty of far more appropriate and accurate labels I can give them, but I'll spare you them in this comment feed...
$500K up in (gun)smoke for Sig Sauer. Boo-hoo-hoo.
I reread the Politico story Jason linked to and there was nothing about party-switchers having to re-accredit if they switch for a single election -- which I believe I read about elsewhere. Right now, it is simple to switch parties when there is a particularly heinous candidate in the other party who is likely to win their primary. Whassup? (I probably shouldn't kvetch -- some bold souls got the date this bill goes into force moved to AFTER the Nov. 2026 elections.)
Glad the Legislature stepped up for AIDS patients, but what happens at the end of the current fiscal year when the special allotment is spent?
Why would the Legislature knowingly throw away money for administering Medicaid work requirements? Answer: They want to force folks off of the entitlement.
Wow, phonecalls against SB 180 made a legislator's life miserable (but he voted for it anyway) because constituents understood its IMPACT.
Great summary of what the legislature has done to us. Thanks for keeping us informed.
You're awesome, thank you for the roundup.
