But this comes as fatal domestic violence persists as one of the only violent crime categories on the rise in Chicago.

the thing is that there are only two explanations for this and they are both utterly disqualifying for Dem leadership
1. you knew they would come for abortion and you already decided you were willing to give it up
2. you did NOT know, because you are too gullible for the job you currently hold

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Fascinating inside baseball. The omission of those seven words is easy to miss, but it points toward a sharp dispute behind the scenes—KBJ wanted to make it as clear as possible that she did not support extending this stay any further.
Indeed, the text of the order doesn’t include the usual “and by her referred to the Court.” So Jackson clearly got overruled here.
