It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Jesse Singal: โI donโt understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??โ
Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Everyone needs to get emotionally prepared for Democrats voting yes on a war supplemental funding bill and all the โsupport the troopsโ bullshit. Itโs going to be infuriating, so just spend a little bit of time here and there working out your feelings.

The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a โhealth care providerโ in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a childโs sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."
Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.
