And now:

AND he can’t be expelled for the same reason twice!

They may not even be out of the legislature for long, as the cities they represent can appoint whoever they choose to fill those seats. Pearson and Jones should both be eligible for that. I can’t think of a better way to tell these racist fucks to eat shit than to put Pearson and Jones back in the seats they earned. 

Picking the sole Black student to be the slave was a stupid mistake, but does that mean the teacher had evil intent....

I don’t really know if Racist/Republicans are stupid or just liars. I suspect it’s a mixture of the two. I do know that they are all evil.

All they have achieved is to turn this two impressive young men into national superstars who will be back in office in no time. If the Tennessee GOP thought they were being trolled by two Gen Z Reps, wait until they find out what it’s like to be trolled by two unemployed gen Z.

Could the expelled House member run for the interim position? Leaders cannot stop an ousted member from running for office again, and they cannot expel them for the same offense if they’re reelected. USA TODAY NETWORK-Tennessee is researching this, though the 1981 ruling likely applies. Assistant Shelby County…

“Pediatricans do not take calling CPS lightly. And a CPS visit doesn’t warrant a child’s removal from their home unless the child truly is in danger. I’ve been in practice for over 10 years, and I can count the number of times on one hand in which I’ve called CPS.”

Then why isn't the baby in the hospital now? If the child is in legal custody of someone other than her parents because they wouldn't admit her to the hospital, then why hasn't that happened yet?

Why is it every time slavery comes up, some melanin-deficient neanderthal will want to 1) deny it or 2) reenact it?

The basis of the Confederacy is slavery. It says so in their documents and in the words of their criminal leaders. The Confederacy is an abomination and encapsulates almost everything wrong with America until this day. Opposing the traitorous Confederacy and all it stands for is literally the most American thing to…

I’m an Iowan, an Iowa grad, and a white lady. I’m glad everyone in this story agreed Jill was wrong and I’m glad Angel said what she said. LSU deserves to have their time in the spotlight and shouldn’t have to share with a team they beat just because Jill wants to hand out participation prizes.

I saw a really good analysis of this yesterday and basically it came down to that Jill Biden obviously meant well but totally stepped in it and came off as a little racist, and rightfully apologized. Folks, she’s a community college professor - “everyone wins” is like her entire career, she’s not a sports person. If…

I mean, what did she think was going to happen? That Roe was going to fall and Republicans were just going to go, “Yay! We won! Nothing more to do here! Let’s all go home and be happy with that result.” The whole point of overturning Roe was so that they could enact these draconian laws, which have always been…

This is premised on the idea that Republicans still need popular support to win elections to remain in power.

I would bet you a bajillion dollars that a GOP politician from Idaho, if confronted with this news - a hospital closing its OB/GYN practice for fear of lawsuits - would smugly feel OK about the whole thing.

Yeah but they still did have to provide it in secret to stay out of jail, where they wouldn’t do anyone any good. Honestly, with the way the HMO system runs now, bloated with administrative officials who aren’t even doctors, a hospital is probably the least safe/supportive place to try to give someone an illegal…

On one hand, I feel for all the women affected by this but on the other, this is what they voted for! It is a very red state.
