Saying the bill was blocked is accurate and a better way to convey to readers the end result.

Unless the bill is dead forever then I disagree.

Ok so does failing a vote on debating the bill prevent it from being brought up to the Senate again or not?

Yes, because McConnell and Co. will continue to block it from being brought up

No, but neither would a failing vote. It got blocked by the same cause that blocks most bills that one party wants and the other doesn’t, the senate just never talks about it and it dies on the vine.

I have a bit of a theory that once smartphones got popular 10-ish years ago, a whole lotta normal people got exposed to purestrain internet for the first time and didn't know how to handle it. Society's never really been the same since.

You're probably pretty close to the truth. Nobody was meant to have access to everyone else. Sometimes just not knowing what exists out in the world is best.

The vaccines are working, but they are still seeing vaccinated people spreading the virus, granted in smaller numbers. What is certain is vaccination ensures you won't end up in the ICU.

No it doesn’t.

It makes it significantly less likely, but breakthroughs still happen, even, uncommonly, to the point of death.

The various forms of Wieland’s amendment all target medications and devices that are common contraceptives. He views them as drugs and devices that cause abortions.

So happy his opinion is tantamount to science.
