@The_Law_Boy @fivefourpod "How can you impose restrictions on what Idaho can criminalize?" Samuel Alito asked the solicitor general. (From WaPo)
Am I insane? Isn't that the whole basis of preemption?

A federal judge has ruled trans care bans unconstitutional in a landmark ruling in Arkansas.

He spelled out 311 facts - a thorough refutation of every point ever made against trans care.

I delve into the best ones here.

Quick hits:
DeSantis offers no apologies for fake ad.
The odd reactions to Maxwell Frost’s F-bomb.
Voucher school reverses course on tuition hike.

And a reminder that all the angry, divisive news Florida routinely makes these days is not normal.

@SteveLemongello Who does?

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

Gender Affirming Care Ban alongside expansion of Don’t Say Gay/Trans very likely to be signed into law today. See below press conference announcement from Governor’s Office.

Welcome to Florida: where a teacher is investigated for showing a Disney movie that happens to have a gay character in it. Meanwhile actual problems like rising cost of property insurance and rent continue to worsen.

So what if some Florida retirees end up eating cat food?
At least the governor owned the libs.

Yes, I want Orlando to have a baseball team, but I'd rather spend the money on housing.

[Scott Maxwell @Scott_Maxwell]

Should Orange County spend $975 million on a stadium for a Major League Baseball team?

@BianchiWrites and I have very different takes on that.

"Care effectively banned." That's not a goal a doctor should ever have.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Bombshell from court documents...

Florida's AHCA and Surgeon General manipulated research to ban gender affirming care.

They tapped a conversion therapy advocate to do it.

An internal chart shows an end goal of "ban care"

@antropy_rr Why couldn't they have kept it real? Like dogfights in space!

@JamanthaLopez That's one of those performances that's so good, I have to remind myself that she's acting.

"I'm not involved in politics."

[Jeffrey Schweers @jeffschweers]

Asked if the @GovRonDeSantis -@WaltDisneyWorld feud has gone too far, Senate President @Kathleen4SWFL said, "That's a political statement. I'm not involved in politics. I just want to do good policy."

Wait, I think I need to tag @BillyZane

[Ian If (he/him/his) @TIFraserOS]

If the Academy actually paid attention to who gave the best supporting performance in any given year, Billy Zane got an Oscar at the 1995 awards.

[Hologram H @wmsmediaonx]

What’s your “hear me out” acting performance?

[Ian If (he/him/his) @TIFraserOS]

@MJMcKean Unfortunately, that's not what this is. This is the plan. Replace local news coverage with a highly controlled "national" desk. You're gonna see this a lot.

"There is no definition of moral or ethical in the bill. Who determines what constitutes a sincerely held moral or ethical belief, and more importantly, why should access to health care be denied based on such vague, imprecise, and subjective terms?"
