    This would presumably include PACs and political fundraising organizations, wouldn't it? Are the democrats really stupid enough to hand the Republicans a loaded gun like this?

    Of course they are why ask very-smart

    Is this bill bipartisan?

    A Bluesky post said it was but I did a quickie scan of the article and I couldn't find confirmation of that. Post-election I've stopped blindly trusting Bluesky posts. Maybe I'm crazy but it seems to me posts with errors about Trump (both unintentional and intentional?) seem to be growing. I don't think Bluesky lies libs are lying but I do think they are in super-panic mode and they are blindly doing monkey see, monkey do without using critical thinking.

      I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Both parties clearly hate Palestine and a bill with that narrative is clearly aimed to stop dissent against that.

      In the article it says that it was introduced by a Republican but co-sponsored by two Dems so I imagine that speaks to this question no?
