Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

Second, people who use DoorDash pay an average of $63 for a meal from McDonald's. Sort of an odd place to look to gauge sensitivity to the cost of food.

They have literally never met anyone who has not committed mortgage fraud, and cheated on taxes as well. The whole idea of doing it legitimately just doesn't enter their minds.
