Got curious about whether he was lying or not. It appears he is. Take a look at this map, produced by Senate Republicants. Scanning my cursor over "blue" and "red" states, it looks like blue state inflation is lower, not higher. www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

Marc had been fighting the Trump regime and attempts to undermine our elections for many years. A true American hero. When, perhaps if, we have a Dem in the WH, Marc deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Top four reasons cited for divorce:
Emotional neglect
Infidelity
Domestic abuse
Substance abuse
All four things men engage in at a higher percentage.
But like other household chores that need to be done, it's women who do the work to file.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

If this is true it explains why Trump wanted to delay releasing files. Need a lot of time to scrub all data referencing him.

So much for being pro life. Sepsis can be deadly if not treated early. And it can lead to loss of fertility.
The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Why do their vests say police ? They are CBP or ICE. That is NOT your local police. I think they want to assert police powers but they do not have that authority. A CBP officer had zero authority to pull you over for speeding

But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record.
