And another day of narrowing eligibility, expanding access, discouraging vaccinations, warnings to the world, the ‘supremacy of gays’ and ‘transvexhikes,’ the GOP opposing the Floyd bill, earthquakes, and space hurricanes comes to a close:

“Dems can eliminate filibuster to pass HR1 & John Lewis Voting Rights Act to stop GOP voter suppression. Or they can allow GOP to undermine democracy for next decade. Stakes couldn't be higher.” — Ari Berman

Senate bill will narrow income eligibility for $1,400 stimulus checks. President Joe Biden has agreed to a compromise with moderate Democrats to narrow the income eligibility for the next round of $1,400 stimulus checks that are included in a bill the Senate is expected to take up this week. -- And there go the Democrats compromising when we all know Republicans never would. And the amount you will receive is based on your 2019 income. But the disaster happened in 2020. Yeah, that seems logical.

Lauren Boebert says Equality Act is "supremacy of gays". Boebert here is dim. She is railing against a piece of legislation that, if passed, would amend civil rights laws to extend protections for LGBTQ+ people in all sorts of sectors. -- She actually made up the word “transvexhikes” as a slur for transgender people. She is a vile individual.


House passes bill named in honor of George Floyd aimed at preventing police misconduct.


Texas’ power grid manager has been fired following February’s deadly blackouts that left millions of people without electricity and heat for days.
