Hi @GregAbbott_TX ! A federal judge just dismissed a case brought by employees of Houston Methodist Hospital who rejected the vaccine mandate of their employer. Will you take action? Call a special session! Ban vaccine passports/mandates!
A lot of people are asking about #SB968 which Abbott signed. That bill is weak and why details matter. Florida’s bill, #SB2006 not only includes businesses, but it also prohibits all schools from requiring vaccines and the enforcement mechanism is strict: $5,000 fine per person.
The Texas bill doesn’t include schools and the enforcement mechanism is weaker: no state funds and the state could possibly* revoke a business license/permit. The bill also doesn’t mention the employer/employee relationship which is why we have the above lawsuit & crisis.
#BREAKING WOAH‼️6th circuit rules 2-1 against the Biden American Rescue Plan stating that the formula to award relief funds to restaurants is racist and therefore unconstitutional.
Judge Thapar: "This case is about whether the government can allocate limited coronavirus relief funds based on the race and sex of the applicants. We hold that it cannot."
This will most likely be appealed to SCOTUS. However, I’m not sure whether they will take up the case or not. This guts part of the American Rescue Plan/ Blue State Bailout.
The anonymous police letter Raskin leaked to CNN is just part 1 of many “leaks” and “sources say”media reports that would happen over the next couple years if there was a “Jan 6 Commission”.
