Not that these bills would’ve gone anywhere anyway, but the Third Reading passage deadline for House bills was weeks ago. These are purely for right-wing social media pops, and maybe a big story on Center Square.

State Rep. Adam Niemerg said Wednesday he plans to introduce a bill that would do away with face masks in the Illinois House and in schools, which drew immediate criticism from some lawmakers even though it has yet to be assigned a bill number.

Hilarious.

…Adding… And now the ILGOP spox wants to get into the act…

I'm seeing a LOT of twitter replies to the new CDC guidelines saying they will continue to wear a mask because of X, Y, and Z…despite the science.

For many, wearing a mask, especially outdoors, has become a virtue signal. Letting go of their mark of "superiority" will be hard.

People who choose to wear a mask outside are hurting nobody, unlike those who refuse to wear masks indoors. So, maybe mind your own business and let them be, bub.

Adblock test (Why?)
