If the Citizens United case affirmed that corporations have a right to free speech under the First Amendment and DeSantis has plainly stated that his actions as they relate to RCID are retribution for Disney's "woke ideology," then doesn't Disney have a First Amendment case against Florida?

Local attorney in Ohio has been charged with voter fraud, accused of voting twice in both 2020 and 2022 in Ohio and Florida.

FEC data shows he had made political contributions to Trump and other GOP organizations. https://fox8.com/news/local-attorney-charged-with-voter-fraud-in-2020-2022-elections/

Russian Television offering Tucker Carlson a job? Seems like Tucker was already working for the Russians while at Fox. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tucker-carlson-russian-state-tv-job-offer-b2327099.html

If #ZooeyZephyr can be censured for such a mild statement of fact while her colleagues can talk about our community like a biblical plague, then the #Montana legislature should be disbanded.

When is a reporter going to ask Gov. Taint Reeves of Missiwippy why Jebus is flooding his state.
Karma coming...

in 30 years time, if we aren't looking back on these days with horror, it's because it will be illegal to look back on these days in horror.

Seriously?! So grandparents raising grandkids, foster parents, adoptive parents - all don't matter because they're not "biological?"

GOP strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the rich & corporations, claiming they'll pay for themselves

2) Explode the deficit

3) Use the debt & deficit as an excuse to demand cuts to programs that millions rely on

4) Repeat

They're trying to get away with it again. We can't let them.

All, if you need proof that Feinstein's absence matters, look at today's vote.

The vote was 50-49, because:

1. Manchin voted with the GOP,
2. Feinstein is still out.

If Feinstein had been there, it would have been 50-50- and Harris as tie-breaker.

"I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. I am not going to be some servile puppy dog."

- Ted Servile Puppy Dog Cruz, reality

Ted Cruz didn't want the voters, the House or the Electoral College to decide.

Ted Cruz wanted a made-up "commission" to decide who the president would be.

That's how Vlad does it.

"Private messages sent by Mr. Carlson that had been redacted in legal filings showed him making highly offensive and crude remarks that went beyond the inflammatory, often racist comments of his prime-time show and anything disclosed in the lead-up to the trial."

Montana transgender lawmaker barred by GOP from 2023 session https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-04-26/montana-transgender-lawmaker-barred-by-gop-from-2023-session

1/ In a deeply silly turn of events, MT Gov. Greg Gianforte issued an amendatory veto of the TikTok ban bill that passed last week.

And not in a good way.

Aside from missing the *entire* First Amendment point, his proposed changes seem to actually ban *all* social media from the state.
