“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”

The SAVE Act: This legislation is a “solution” in search of a problem. There is virtually no evidence of any non-citizens voting in an election. The sole point of this law is to erect barriers to prevent married women (who have taken their husbands’ last name) and less wealthy citizens from voting

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

No money to expand healthcare access.
No money to properly fund public schools.
No money to protect Social Security long term.
But suddenly $38.3 billion appears.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The cruelty is astounding
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is terrific news! Liz Magill is a great choice to lead Georgetown Law.
Regarding the controversy—Elise Stefanik ambushed Magill at that hearing with the evident goal of smearing her as an antisemite, which she is not (obviously). UPenn's loss is our gain.
