"That is not how it’s supposed to be done. Appellate procedures exist to prevent unexpected changes in the rights of parties, and this order ignored those procedures to the detriment of people’s rights across the state of Indiana."
The Seventh Circuit allowed Indiana's law banning gender-affirming medical care for minors to go into effect for the first time Tuesday in an unusual, questionable order.
I dive into what happened — and why it’s so troubling — at Law Dork tonight. lawdork.com/p/seventh-circui…

Today the Speaker announced that I was stripped from being on House Education Admin Committee, as they prepare to push their unpopular school voucher program.
My Republican colleagues know voters do not want their “Education for Profit” scheme and are trying to stifle dissent.

UPDATE: The IRS has now recovered over $500 million in taxes owed by 1,600 millionaires.
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is ensuring large corporations and high-wealth individuals pay the taxes they owe.
Here's what that money could mean for hardworking families:
ALT The IRS has collected over $500 million in unpaid taxes from 1,600 millionaires using resources from the Inflation Reduction Act Biden-Harris Administration That’s enough to provide: • Over 100 million free school lunches, or • Pell Grants to almost 100,000 college students, or • Head Start slots for over 35,000 kids

Mississippi gave millions of dollars of welfare funds to former NFL quarterback Brett Favre to build a volleyball facility for his daughter’s school, but they won’t take federal funds to feed hungry children. Because helping poor kids is the kind of welfare that Republicans hate.
Gov. Tate Reeves’ office says Mississippi won’t participate in a federal summer food program for children because of his desire to reject “attempts to expand the welfare state”

By enforcing the law on ultra-wealthy tax cheats, the IRS recouped half a billion dollars in unpaid taxes last year. Gutting IRS funding to "balance the budget" makes the deficit worse. Republicans' plan is not a budgetary solution—it's a giveaway to the super-rich.

Except this time there’s no testing, data, public health protections, Covid funding, sick leave, compassion/grace/understanding, or plan. This RECORD Covid wave is going to pump out so many newly-disabled people who won’t be getting any care, folks won’t even know what hit them.

This is how headlines about abortion care being determined by judges should be written. "The Supreme Court Will Decide if States Can Force Hospitals to Let Women Die". Thank you @RollingStone

HAHAHAHA: CNN just put together a list of all of Donald Trump’s legal defenses and it really shows you how ridiculous his claims are. He is a total hypocrite who has nothing except lies. This is so well done and worth a watch.

This is one of the most epic rants about Trump in history.

With our Snoqualmie Pass cameras down due to a widespread power outage, this is what it currently looks like up there. Chains required on all except AWD/4WD.

Hey, CNN: One of your reporters said that the lowered cost of insulin is because of pharmaceutical companies. That's a lie. The lowered cost of insulin is because of President Biden's law that required them to lower costs to $35 for seniors. Give President Biden credit for once.
