  2. In a disturbingly #Orwellian #statement, the State Department of Corrections #spokesperson #falsely #claimed:

  3. @lawdork - "Sen. #LindseyGraham #falsely #claimed multiple times on 3/2/23 that all 9 #SCOTUS justices signed on to #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts’s letter declining #SenateJudiciary Committee Chair #DickDurbin invitation to attend the committee’s #hearing on #SupremeCourt #EthicsReforms. Building on that false premise, Graham later claimed, “I just want people to understand court as a whole has a problem with this, whether they’re right or wrong.” #SCOTUS #republicans #epicenter #corruption #lies

  4. Texas doctor and GOP activist kicked out of state Senate after smearing trans people as paedophiles

    A Texas doctor and anti-trans Republican activist was removed from a state Senate hearing after repeatedly #falsely #accusing #trans #people and their healthcare providers of being #paedophiles.

    But it was his use of the word “bull****” that got him ejected from the hearing.

    Houston-area doctor Steven Hotze testified to a state Senate committee on 16 March in support of several bills targeting LGBT+ people, joining a wave of state-level legislation across the US to criminalise gender-affirming care.

    Democratic state Senator Jose Menendez pushed back against the doctor’s inflammatory rhetoric, but he continued to baselessly smear trans people and their providers: “By definition, they are paedophiles.”
