UPDATE: Every single Florida Republican in this state house committee voted to give 18-year-olds AR-15s and repeal the law they passed after Parkland. Every Democrat OPPOSED.
That's what the Florida GOP is now-- a bunch of hard-right extremists following DeSantis off a cliff.

There is ample evidence that high school-aged people benefit and learning improves if the school days starts in the late morning, but few schools have adjusted their schedules to align with this finding.

The #settlers will not be allowed to send #money to the #UnitedStates or have anyone act on their behalf. The order also prevents any American from contributing money, goods or services to those sanctioned.
The financial #sanctions follow an announcement in early Dec restricting US #visas for people believed to have been involved in #settler #violence, as well as their immediate family members. Neither those restrictions, nor the sanctions announced on Wed affect the many US citizen settlers.
@lymond@hachyderm.io I think you’re confusing the rings of Tolkien and Donaldson.

“Like other fundamentals of #Israeli life, many of the preconceptions about #women in #combat were upended on Oct. 7 […]
“In the months since, the needs of the #military have propelled societal change at breakneck speed. Same-sex partners of slain #soldiers are now legally recognized widows and widowers, and at least one #transgender soldier has fought on the front in #Gaza.”

@KatM@mastodon.social They should feel free to post here, just as I would feel free to block or mute them. I muted most ads/sponsors on twitter. @accretionist@techhub.social

Sen #ChuckGrassley (R)criticized the measure, which nonpartisan estimates say could lift 400k #children out of #poverty, because it could help #Biden’s #reelection campaign. He said he would evaluate the bill after the #House vote.
Sen #MittRomney (R),who supported previous #ChildTaxCredit expansions, called the new #legislation “excessive”& said it would turn into “another entitlement program which is massively expensive.”
(#entitlement = #Republican speak for #LowIncomeFamily programs)

#House votes to expand #ChildTaxCredit, beef up #CorporateTaxBreaks
The bill passed the House by a vote of 357 to 70. It would expand eligibility for the #child #tax credit among the lowest-income #families & adjust payments for #inflation for the 2024 & 2025 filing years.
