These #Texas #traitors don't seem to be aware that the #Constitution explicitly prohibits member states from leaving the union. There is no legal mechanism for Texas to declare its independence from the #UnitedStates. So, what we're talking about is armed rebellion, and criminal charges for those who participate. These people are all about law & order until abiding by the law is inconvenient to their desires. Then, they're freedom fighters. 🙄

@GottaLaff
I kind of regret that the beheader was captured so soon.
Don't get me wrong. I in no way wanted anymore violence to happen, but it seems that the story is pretty much being ignored and I find that quite troubling.
If he'd have hid out in the woods or something then we might have gotten more coverage of it and the stochastic terrorism that the GOP is stoking in the USA.
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.
@dukepaaron Bio, hell. Y’all need t-shirts!!
@MonotoneofBill The revolution will not be televised.
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 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.”

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.
