NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

I know this can be confusing, tldr: SCOTUS said Section 2 is not dead but it’s nearly impossible to prove. Sent AL case back to AL judges (2 Trump 1 Reagan) Judges rehear the AL case and rule it STILL breaks the law. SCOTUS says actually we meant the VRA is dead.

Huh

"To paraphrase Nathan Hale, I only regret that we have but one seat to take from the Democrats." This is what Democrats are facing. Any Dem who favors bipartisanship over maximalist opposition is either lost and worthy of replacement or a Republican sympathizer.

With all the energy that the Trump administration is pouring into tossing immigrants out of the country—including immigrants who are taxpayers, parents of military service members, and charity volunteers—you've got to wonder which real threats to the homeland are being ignored.
