Excellent.
Judge Chutkan is responding with full speed to Trump’s defiance by giving him a fair opportunity to explain why he shouldn’t be shut down.

Pregnant Texans shouldn't have even had to sue to be able to have abortions in life-threatening situations. If you're pregnant anywhere, it should be your choice to carry the pregnancy to term, period. But in 2023, in the state that kicked off the end of Roe v. Wade, it's a relief when a a judge decides that doctors won't be jailed if they help an ill pregnant woman or one carrying a fetus with a fatal anomaly (pending the March 2024 trial on the case).
@ianhecht Are these the same kids who are now being put to work? Working kids in AR should be able to buy cigs to smoke while they read their banned books.
This piece about #Trump and a coterie of extremists planning quite openly to weaponize the DOJ is terrifying. Read it and work hard to keep that belligerent lunatic out of office.

@mookie No! I didn’t recognize him either, but I loved the hip-hop Klingon number!

@MattO Stop after your first paragraph. That’s all you need to be aware of, because they are the dangerous ones. @B_Whitewind
@johnettesnuggs Same is true here. Fortunately, that’s where they end. One of our coaches (at my final school) decided he was going to get a doctorate. Oh, the stories I can tell about that would make you laugh and groan for days. I’ll leave it with his saying he could never get through quan or qual, so maybe instead of a Ph.D. he should get an Ed.D. 🙄
@johnettesnuggs It does seem a large number of coaches go into administration. Most of them shouldn’t.
@johnettesnuggs I was always super lucky with my admins. I only retired due to Covid.

Huge win in Texas
Judge Jessica Mangrum has blocked a number of Texas’ abortion bans as they apply to dangerous pregnancy complications, stating that doctors cannot be punished for providing those procedures to pregnant people with certain complications.
Judge Mangrum stated that doctors cannot be prosecuted for using their own "good faith judgement.”
@johnettesnuggs I know you can’t see it, but I’m applauding your thread.
