Governor Greg Abbott just vetoed a bill that would allow disabled Texans to vote by mail

I’m guessing Abbott vetoed this from his wheelchair?

Same as Clarence Thomas looking to repeal interracial marriage, Lindsey Graham attacking same-sex marriage, and Dubya attacking education. Hate and self owns.

@AlliFlowers I like to hit the search button or in some cases it's the hashtag button and look at the posts from there.

"Sam Alito Is A Peevish, Self-Absorbed Piece Of Work"

I might have gone with "Sam Alito is a whiny little prick," but headline quibbles aside, this is excellent.

"If the GOP is truly concerned with relatives to a President profiting off their proximity to power, then they should be launching an investigation into both Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner. With these two, we don’t even need a congressional investigation to see direct evidence that they reaped literally billions in profits—as well as trademarks- from foreign nations that had business before the Trump administration."

@AlliFlowers but can be fired for helping a kid who is being abused for being born trans. There is something seriously wrong here.

AG Garland when asked about Hunter Biden: "As I said from the moment of my appointment as attorney general, I would leave this matter in the hands of the U.S. attorney, who was appointed by the previous president & assigned to this matter by the previous administration, that he would be given full authority to decide the matter."

Anybody else notice the subtle difference in world response to 5 seriously rich white guys lost at sea compared to the response to thousands of less-rich, less-white refugees lost at sea every year? 🤔

Those upset about Hunter's lying on his application for a gun, agree that we need stronger background checks for guns?

"Florida has dropped several hundred thousand people, by far the most among states."

I filed HB 511 to expand Medicaid and Ensure affordable healthcare coverage for Floridians, but Republicans refused to give it a hearing.

And today, the very serious House GOP always focused on the people will see Jim Jordan taking testimony from John Durham about 2016, a vote on Luna’s censure of Schiff, and Boebert’s resolution to impeach Biden.

I posted this double rainbow on my FB photography page and wrote "What a fantastic rainbow for Pride Month. 🌈."

That triggered a loss of followers and a bunch of comments about how the rainbow can only mean one religious thing. A preacher's comment was the worst.

It hard to come up with words about the people that reacted that way.

County at center of 2020 election controversy avoids takeover by Georgia's GOP legislature.

Georgia's election board has unanimously voted against taking over voting in Fulton County. rawstory.com/fulton-county-ele

This is absurd. Either school regulations supersede, or they are worthless. Maybe they really don’t want to protect our children or educators?

The West Wing is the same genre of competency porn as Star Trek, but with fewer transporter accidents

One of the greatest lies people propagate is that all opinions are valid: that every position is somehow equally worthy of merit and deserving of consideration.

CLARENCE THOMAS: These free luxury vacations are totally ethical because the GOP donor who takes me on them is a dear friend! It’s just what friends do!

SAM ALITO: This free luxury vacation is totally ethical because I barely know the GOP donor who took me on it!
