Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life".
And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan.
So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.

Not having to wake up everyday with the fear that this will be the last day we’ll see see our friends and family alive alive looks a lot closer to freedom to me than letting a 19 year old have an AR-15.
So here it is: Since April 100,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly lost their lives to Covid despite widespread availability of safe effective vaccines. They were defiant succumbing to gross antiscience aggression from the political right, a disgusting “health freedom” movement
Never forget that Mitch McConnell blocked Merrick Garland 8 months before election then confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before election when 65 million had already voted so she could take away reproductive rights & voting rights from millions of Americans
So Greg Abbott was vaccinated against covid, was being tested every single day, initiated regeneron antibody treatment immediately after a positive test, and instantly entered isolation.
But he doesn’t allow any TX local govt to require masks or take other covid precautions.
