🌞 Good morning #fediverse! This is GBH News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 49F at Logan and visibility is 10 mi.
That's a lotta green ⚡️: courts are letting a transmission line from #Quebec run to #Massachusetts to power 1M houses with hydropower.
A #trans #Montana state rep is not being allowed to speak on any bills until she apologizes for speaking out on #trans issues.
Miller is facing a lawsuit from French winemakers for calling High Life "the Champagne of beers."
That's a misleading description of what's happening in Montana.
According to PBS, the rep isn't being allowed to speak after breaking rules of the chamber. That's just how legislative bodies work: they have rules to be obeyed and accountability for people who break the rules they agreed to.
No, just as there are rules about taking turns to speak, there are also guidelines on decorum when speaking.
Whether you or I might approve or not, legislative bodies tend to have rules about speakers attacking each other and things like that.
This legislator was found to have broken those rules of decorum, that everyone agreed to.
@volkris @gbhnews by breaking the rules you mean speaking on a bill when it was her turn to speak right?
