They invented a psychiatric disorder to explain why a slave would want to escape slavery. Because... why else would they want to leave, right?

He was charged with transporting undocumented people, not with human trafficking. They are different crimes.

Q: Does the White House have a response to a judge ordering the immediate release of Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE detention? Will you appeal?
LEAVITT: Absolutely. The White House opposes this activism from a judge. He is a proven human trafficker

Since Governor Katie Hobbs took office, Arizona’s economy has grown by more than 100,000 jobs, with the lowest unemployment rate in Arizona history. It is now a manufacturing hub with billions of dollars in private investment. We need to keep her in office.

I'm very sad right now.
I've lost my lifelong best friend to the right wing ecosphere.
There was one topic she had started to post about a lot, and I was concerned. We're long distance, so I messaged her and asked what was up with all the posting about that, because what she was sharing was racist?

Just go indie and caucus with dems
If these House GOP who are retiring were patriots, they'd switch parties and stay in office to the end of their term. But really they're cowards.

Due to chronic pain/mobility, I have gotten super rusty in the kitchen. Hubby has been feeding us for a couple years now, but we have a lot of quick-fix stuff. Once in a while he'll request something I used to make and I will assist/direct. Today it was sausage lentil soup, and we did awesome. 🤤🍲

I think that's an important point.
Any thoughts on the take (Phillip Bump) that because there was no public declaration on war until after the boat bombings became public, and this was the first such bombing, the victims could not possibly have understood they were in a war zone.

I think that's an important point.
If they're in a race against each other, I can only hope they look to Zohran and Brad. I don't think it's ranked choice, so it'd be different, but an agreement to cross endorse and keep it clean. "You can't go wrong with either one of us, so get to know our different approaches and vote your heart."
I'm personally 100% in for James Talarico, but I can't help but shake my head at the sad folks who are downplaying Rep. Jasmine Crockett's chances. She's brilliant, a great communicator, and has wide support among the Dem base in Texas. Underestimate at her at your own peril.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.
