New post: Before Tuesday's oral arguments in a major abortion case, Governor Kim Reynolds and her entourage used a non-public elevator and walked through a secure area used by Iowa Supreme Court justices.
They weren't authorized to be there. https://t.co/OyK9UwklHl
Must read article by @SIfill_ :
"This may be the most dangerous and efficient structural attack on our democracy. Its threat, and pernicious ingenuity, lies in its ability to make voting itself irrelevant."

Take 9 minutes to watch NE State Sen. Megan Hunt (D) reveal her 12-year-old son is trans during debate on a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors:
“As an out, queer woman... I thought a lot of you would say... ‘Megan’s probably been grooming her kid to be trans.’”
This Missouri Republican asserted that she is motivated by her Bible beliefs. She wants to impose them in schools.
She also says that no one should impose their personal beliefs in schools.
Then she vapor-locks under questioning.

I’d love to have Democrats give this more attention. The SCOTUS commission was no help; it took two dissenting members to get the story out.

Begging people to pay attention to what Governor DeSantis is proposing to do to immigrants.
Under his new plan, a mom who drove her undocumented kid to school could be guilty of a second degree felony (same as vehicular homicide) and could be sentenced to 15 years in prison.
@FrankMikeDavis1 Raising the retirement age (again) isn’t going to save Social Security. Eliminating the wage cap ($160,200 in 2023) will make Social Security solvent.
The text of DeSantis' higher education bill has been released. It's as terrifying as the press release suggested it would be. Florida HB 999 would enact the most draconian and censorious restrictions on higher education in the history of this country. https://t.co/mTsNuSryt4
Gender policing in sports began as soon as women entered the world of professional sports. Anti trans policies in sports aren’t new but if we continue with them they’ll threaten all women athletes. My latest for @Deadspin https://t.co/MkeI6qHyw0
1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

It is literally beyond belief that 50 years after Roe v. Wade, in the year 2023, we are still debating whether women can control their own bodies. Congress must act to codify Roe v. Wade and make abortion safe and legal again.
Terrorists is trending and this seems like the perfect time to remind everyone that Republicans are following every aspect of hitler’s rise to power bc they are theocratic authoritarians.
