DeSantis’ use of state planes & information about his official travel could soon be secret under a far-reaching bill that is coming while the governor has been ramping up visits across the country ahead of a likely presidential campaign.The legislation would not only apply to future travels by DeSantis, but it would also apply retroactively to all records dealing with his use of the state plane, as well as other top state officials such as legislative leaders.Supermajorities are bad.#gop

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed a bill yesterday that would have allowed students to wear tribal regalia at school functions.Senate Bill 429 passed the #oklahoma legislature 90 to 1 & would have ensured Native students are allowed to wear tribal regalia at high school graduations & other ceremonies throughout the state. With this legislation, Stitt had an opportunity to support religious freedom. Instead, he’s chosen more division & insults to his Native American constituents.#gop

Oklahoma has a Republican supermajority. They could easily override the governor’s veto if they felt that strongly about the bill. Any bets?

#tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed off on additional protections for gun and ammunition dealers, manufacturers and sellers against lawsuits within a bill that lawmakers passed after a deadly school shooting in March.The Republican governor quietly signed the legislation Thursday. Its provisions kick in on July 1.#gop #gunviolence

A group of adults brought a cinema to a halt when they began arguing in front of a theatre full of children during a film screening of The Little Mermaid. Footage of the incident which was filmed in Orlando, Florida captures a group of adults blocking the screen from view of others while standing up and shouting at each other. A black mermaid??? Too ‘woke’ for #desantis crowd.

The Republican from Ohio said fentanyl’s increasing popularity and Mexico’s apparent inability to quash the illicit narcotics trade necessitates his proposal.The key words in his sentence are “fentanyl’s increasing popularity”.If it doesn’t come from Mexico, others will fill the bill. Vance is a cowboy. #gop

Misinformation about everything from election fraud to Covid-19 vaccines is reaching millions of Americans through a popular but opaque medium: podcasts.Many podcasts -- on-demand audio programs which users can listen to on smartphones -- bluntly promote false and unproven claims.I really miss Walter Cronkite.#fakenews

All federal judges other than the justices already adhere to an ethics code that was developed by the federal judiciary. But the Supreme Court’s unique status — it’s the only federal court created by the Constitution — puts it outside the reach of those standards that apply to other federal jurists.Notso-supreme court as far as I’m concerned. Alito is a disgrace. #SCOTUS #gop

There are so many dots on the maps they blur into blobs — each one reflecting trillions of public & private dollars flowing in the U.S. this past year to build thousands of roads, bridges & manufacturing projects in communities large & small, in states red & blue.They include an electric vehicle “battery belt” of manufacturing stretching from Michigan to Georgia, semiconductor fabrication plants in Arizona, Texas, Ohio & New York and broadband coming to Appalachia.Thanks Joe!!!!#gop

In keeping with the recent trend, Mitch McConnell responded to the job numbers by saying nothing about the good news. No press releases, no tweets, & no public comments. While it’s true that the House GOP is without a speaker right now, websites & social media accounts from Kevin McCarthy & both of his would-be Republican successors — Steve Scalise & Jim Jordan — & none of them acknowledged the job numbers in any way.Big surprise. Hard to comment when you don’t know how to govern. #gop

To anyone who is not a legal gymnast or a fervent partisan, giving a million bucks to the super PAC of the person who pardoned you looks an awful lot like paying for a pardon.Birds of a feather…#kushner

Israeli officials said on Sunday that members of their military found an Arabic copy of Adolf Hitler’s "Mein Kampf" in a children’s room, which was used as a base by Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza over the weekend.Struggling to believe. And of course #foxnews would run with this story. #gaza

A sweeping ban on Covid-19 vaccine requirements for all private businesses, including hospitals, is the latest blow to medically vulnerable Texans who rely on others’ immunization to shield themselves from highly transmissible viruses.The new measure, which Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law on Friday, could risk the health of groups like organ transplant recipients, cancer patients, and those with underlying conditions as common as severe asthma.Freedom to be stupid. #COVID

Joe Rogan received a brutal fact check during a recent discussion with MMA fighter Bo Nickal. Rogan was dunking on Biden for something he said about airports existing during the Revolutionary War.“If you had any other job, & you were talking like that, they’d go, ‘Hey, you’re done,’” Rogan thundered.There was one problem: It wasn’t Biden who’d said that. Rogan’s producer Jamie Vernon chimed in to play a clip in which Biden called out Trump, who’d dropped the Revolutionary War airport line.
