Michael Schmidt was shocked when he heard about “gay #sheep.”

"...If the ram does not fulfill his duty, he is generally sent to the slaughterhouse. Essentially, “the sheep are killed for being gay,” Mr. Schmidt said." #nature #science #Fashion #Animals #LGBTQ

Survive. Might not survive a legal challenge. By making it personal, they may have overreached.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Perhaps this provision might not sustain a legal challenge brought by Jack Smith (as one with standing) on the theory that it unconstitutionally singles him out, acting as a bill of attainder against him where it lifts sovereign immunity and threatens personal liability.

Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

Self-dealing, greedy crooks.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate at all.”

REPUBLICAN @RepGregSteube opposed the funding bill because @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn and others snuck in a provision to hand themselves millions of taxpayer dollars. #MarshaMoneyGrab 💰

The fact that the turd has to constantly repeat that we are the 'most whatever...' shows you just how the'least' we really have become.
#GVerse #Shit4Brains announces a $2,000 “Tariff Dividend” for most Americans, funded by tariff revenue.

Markets reacted bullish, seeing it as short-term stimulus for crypto & stocks. But the plan hinges on a Supreme Court ruling prediction markets give only ~20% odds of approval.

Looking at the ten who caved, I wonder if any will be back in once their terms end. This was an extremely STUPID thing to do. Now, Trump will dance around claiming he won. He lost, though, the trust of the nation is no longer his. He is a lame duck and probably will not complete this 2nd term.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

THE GOP HAVE PUT OUT THIS VIDEO OF TRUMP BEING CHEERED!!

nb. He looks a bit like Barack Obama but that just proves how handsome and young he looks.

Never gets old seeing President Obama cheered on because he’s loved, missed and appreciated.
