In case you were wondering how the supposed end of the “anti-weaponization fund” is going over with the J6ers:

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

The study is transgenic mice (altered DNA) - not transgender - which were used to study cancer, asthma, & other health risks.

These people must've searched for "trans" and not bothered to read the actual studies.

Wait until they learn about the "transcontinental railroad."

NEW: Dogmatic power seekers within the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, have found common ground with characters whose controversial ideas were once seen as representing the face of hate in America. (Link below.)

If he actually cares, maybe Ted can speak to why it’s still legal to discriminate against LGBT individuals in Texas.

NEW: As Pride Month begins across Tennessee, the state's recent designation of June as "Nuclear Family Month" is drawing renewed attention. More: https://t.co/OQkzO11GaY

Even so, discrimination against LGBT people is still legal in over 40% of the country.

[Carl @HistoryBoomer]

Stupid tweet by bigoted congressman.

Gay people aren't disappearing from America, no matter what Andy Ogles says.

Ogles' position is morally wrong and politically stupid. This is a 70/30 issue. Most Americans believe gay people have the right to live their lives in peace.

[Jim Hicks @js_hicks]

I think it’s a good time to remind everyone that it’s perfectly legal in Tennessee to discriminate against LGBT people.

The most recent legislature even passed legislation to make sure everyone remembers that.

Andy doesn’t care at all about Tennessean’s who are LGBT.

[Rep. Andy Ogles @RepOgles]

Earlier today while working on the farm, my phone began going crazy because of a post made by a member of my comms team.
The post was stupid, hurtful and a complete distraction from my America First focus. The employee has been reprimanded.

[Kareem Crayton @KareemCrayton]

And this unceremonious reversal goes unexplained. It would be more intellectually honest for Roberts and Kavanaugh to explain their switch up from Milligan, but such is not the way of the shadow docket. This is an act of power (“b/c we can”), not of law (“b/c we must”).

[Jim Hicks @js_hicks]

LOL. Yeah, right.

Fun fact: in baseball, “little brother” Alabama has 7 conference tournament championships to Auburn’s 3, and 26 conference championships to Auburn’s 11.

Another fun fact: This Auburn team’s record against “little brother” is 0-3.

It’s a sign that prices are higher.

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

This is what happens when pundits lie. People click on things that make them feel like their desired world view is aligned with reality

Since 2016, every SEC team has had to play at least one P4 team out of conference

No B1G team has played and beaten a P4 team on it’s regular season non-con schedule and won a national title in the same season since 2002 Ohio State

In fact, the Big Ten is the only league that doesn’t require it’s members to play a P4 pit of conference game, something the SEC has required for a decade.

Sometimes it's hard to defend speech, but it's still important. No matter how awful you think his post is, it's most likely protected.

A Wisconsin teacher was fired Wednesday for a social media post he made in response to the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last month.

@dennymac30 @CardPurchaser We had a break-in at my house, and they were stolen. When I got them back, I promised myself it would never happen again. I've got plenty of other stuff to look at. 🙂

[Jim Hicks @js_hicks]

.@CardPurchaser had to move my best vintage cards to a new safe deposit box.

(I know I need to get them into mag one touch holders. Another reason I got them from the bank.)

No. 1 Alabama softball with a huge comeback win to beat UCLA, 6-3, and move into the WCWS winner’s bracket.

[Jim Hicks @js_hicks]

@pisscalmer @CardPurchaser I'm not incredibly worried. I never tightened them. The cards could slide with minimal "shaking" - not that I shook them a lot ;-). But they needed to be moved to something better, so now they'll be in appropriate storage.

Plus, these aren't likely to be sold soon, if ever.
