The gaggle of lawyers were all walking away from that news conference with big “I’m gonna get paid today!” smiles. The damage goes well beyond what Dominion suffered. Our society will never get retribution for Fox enabling Donald Trump’s lies.
The Tennessee Speaker that led the removal of two black representatives apparently doesn't live in the district he represents. That should be a reason for removing a representative. He's taken maximum per diem payments for living 200 miles away from Nashville.

Hey Tennessee - the whole world is watching!
The events of the past few days - Tennessee, Supreme Court judges for sale, hatred for LGBTQ people and stupid repressive laws meant to bolster and promote hate has me feeling like there's only a few of us paying attention and we're afflicted with having a conscience. Most of society seems to be acting like the hell scape being created is perfectly normal. It'll never end this way.

Texas, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Kansas, and many other states are effectively declaring that they're not part of the United States anymore and don't have to abide by democratic norms. It's a quiet Civil War.
But we should be used to this. This is what most of the southern states did from about 1890 to 1964: created an _imperium in imperio_ where Constitutional rights did not run and you could be lynched for asking for them.

This is Tennesse House Speaker Cameron Sexton
. In 2019 he declined to expel a rep who was accused of, and later admitted to, sexually abusing 3 underage girls
Tonight he voted to expel 3 democratic reps for protesting against kids getting shot in their own classrooms
He rather protect Pedos than People

this shit writes itself
How appropriate is it that the guy that'll probably bring him down is named Pecker?
I'm seeing double here.
He's been a mobster his entire adult life - this trajectory should surprise no one. This is only the beginning - he'll be in courtrooms for the rest of his adult life. What a sad pathetic man.

Just watched the season finale of Shrinking on Apple TV. What a wonderful cast and story. Can't wait for the next season.
