Enough with the beating girlfriends stuff, let's talk about something serious.
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Roberts is saying that the court's own precedent from a couple of years ago, where it ruled that Alabama had to draw racial fair maps, doesn't apply to this (identical) case, essentially because the Alabama case was poorly argued.
It's a terrible argument, but the hill Roberts is gonna die on.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

I mean it helped - they were murdering and torturing Kenyans for close to a decade and Malaysians for over a decade after that.
It also helped that there was an active violent resistance to go along with the nonviolent resistance. So the British chose to work with the peaceful guy

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Sensory experiences are also different for many autistic kids. They may not be able to filter out lights, sounds, smells, or touch—to the point where just walking into a grocery store can cause a meltdown.
