Yet again, the fate and wellbeing of Americans, in this case the fate of our health, is being determined by one radical Christian caliphate in Texas. He has ruled insurance companies no longer have to cover preventive healthcare, including life-saving screenings for HIV, cancer, diabetes, etc. Because you know, no evangelicals ever get those ailments.

@PaulDitz And it was a good episode this week.
@Lowie Only if he refuses to surrender. The DA will be contacting his lawyers to arrange a time and place for that.
If he refuses, and DeSantis refuses to extradite him, it becomes a federal matter. Which means the US Marshals will go in and get him.
