US continues to go backward...

Tennessee SB6002/HB6001 would make it a felony to VOTE for sanctuary policies regarding immigration.


From the official summary (emphasis added by me)

Present law prohibits state and local governmental entities and officials from adopting or enacting a sanctuary policy. A state or local governmental entity that adopts or enacts a sanctuary policy is ineligible to enter into a grant contract with the department of economic and community development until the sanctuary policy is repealed, rescinded, or otherwise no longer in effect. This bill creates a Class E felony, punishable by a sentence of imprisonment not less than one year nor more than six years and a possible fine not to exceed $3,000, or both, if a person violates such prohibitions. Additionally, this bill provides that each official, in their capacity as a member of the governing body of a local government, who votes in the affirmative to adopt a sanctuary policy is also in violation.

This bill passed the Tennessee Senate today. It criminalizes the voting for sanctuary policies by elected officials.

This is nuts.
 

FCC is opening investigations into PBS and NPR. Two very a-political groups. The claim is the stations are running advertisements vs broadcast underwriting announcements.

Pledged control over news and media, this is step 1 to limiting opposing views.

Our next head of Health and Human Services. Still claiming vaccines aren't safe when grilled in Senate confirmation. Not sure why he isn't just lying like the rest of them do. If he lies the GOP can claim ignorance later on when nothing that was promised happens.
 

Vice President JD Vance delivered blunt advice to Republican senators considering voting against President Donald Trump’s nominees to lead key three-letter agencies: "You don't get to make these decisions."
...
He praised Senate Republicans for being "freethinking and "independent" but argued the commander-in-chief is the one who gets to decide who he wants in his Cabinet. WTF: (you can be independent freethinkers, just can´t act on it...)
"...The president has made his selections and the advice and consent power of the United States Senate should not be used to block people because you have one policy disagreement on one issue," Vance told Hannity Thursday. "You don't get to make these decisions. President Trump gets to make these decisions, and he already has."

I knew/know a lot of people are/were opposed to DEI practices, but I had no idea that it was the Devil to so many!!
 
Another pretty good one from Maher. The beginning is just silly, but then it hits. Something in there to piss off anyone who is on a side. He ends with this fundamental truth, "There is almost always a reasonable centrist position that would go a long way to making everything not f-ing broken if we could just get there. If everyone would just stop being such a d!(k about it."
