Of course, the article also doesn't mention that this was done in service of banning trans people from public spaces.
Instead, they let the legislator run wild saying this about "men" in women's locker rooms and "protecting children's innocence."
This is how gender fascism advances.
(10)(12) "Nudity," "nude," or "state of nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, vulva, anus, anal cleft, or cleavage with less than a fully opaque covering; or the showing of the female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.
(12)(14) "Seminude" or "state of seminudity" means a state of dress in which opaque clothing covers not more than the genitals, pubic region, and nipple of the female breast, as well as portions of the body covered by supporting straps or devices.
In addition to the made-up category of "seminudity," HB 249 also expands the definition of "nudity" to include "cleavage" and uncovered "anal cleft"
I dunno. Maybe the journalist could have quoted the bill rather than bothsidesing it.

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
He has zero idea what a currency swap is. Bet me

Clarence Thomas Is Corrupt
Clarence Thomas accepted Millions in lavish, undisclosed gifts of travel and questionable real estate transactions from Harlan Crow.
The real-estate developer and GOP donor bought a house from Thomas but allowed his mother to remain.

Failure to answer this simple, direct question from Elizabeth Warren should disqualify Warsh from becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve
If he can't display independence from Trump on what is an undisputed issue, nobody should believe he will disagree with Trump when dealing with financial policy
ICE’s abuses are killing people. We need an immigration system rooted in due process, justice, and humanity.
That starts with defunding and dismantling ICE. End the cruelty.

"Instead of addressing our concerns, our legitimate concerns — instead, they turn toward investigating me... And I was instrumental in leading the group. So I think that clearly they were trying to chill [the] activity of workers and that should scare every worker across the country."

The corruption is out in the open
The US stock market no longer bears any relationship to job growth or the real economy...
Pretty sure he spelled "if" wrong there.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Trump pardons those who can pay him which leaves those who hurt them with literally nothing. I can’t believe MAGA thought a billionaire would be on their side. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.
And #wethepeople have paid millions — upon MILLIONS — of dollars so this unfathomably depraved SELF-PROFESSED sexual assaulter can golf.
The most expansive cover-up in American history must END.
STOP. PREDATORS.

Alternet: Trump wanted to use US nuclear codes during an emergency meeting, a move blocked by General Dan Caine. Johnson criticized Trump’s mental state, claiming his Iran statements were aimed at manipulating stock prices rather than reflecting reality.

At least one of those firms argued a case at the Supreme Court after paying hundreds of thousands of dollars.
