The incredible #Politics Girl has uploaded a warning video for US citizens about the likely upcoming #Economics debate when the congressional #GOP members (McCarthy) wants to hold everyone hostage with the approval of the next debt ceiling vote.
What's great is how well she concisely explains the situation, giving typical US ppl background and context many of us likely wouldn't know or consider otherwise. I love this lady.

@Abyss1992 Horrible enough that they now want to prevent adults (bill wants to control people under age 26) from personal freedoms, but they want to prosecute doctors for doing something that wasn't a crime when they did it? WTAF?
from linked article:
"SB 129, as it is written, further declares that medical practitioners who perform said operations or have in the past are presumed to have committed a felony."
