This is not a recession indicator. AZIT introed a smaller can alongside plastic bottles when they removed the 99¢ label on the tall cans a few years back.

This is shrinkflation.

If Jeffries doesn't understand that it is a moral imperative to save this country from Nazis, then QUIT

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.

This is the first suit of its kind.

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week.

Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.
The Trump administration is imprisoning Somali immigrants in Gitmo

Reminder: Pro-authoritarian billionaire Robert Kraft's wife Dana Blumberg is among the Trump-appointed members of the Kennedy Center Board who voted to put Mobster Trump's name on the memorial & to also shut it down.

Robert Kraft & Dana Blumberg are who Ed Sheeran CHOOSES to associate himself with.
The Kennedy Center was a beloved Washington institution, enjoyed by millions of people. It has been destroyed for no real reason. Just vanity, carelessness, indifference.

This is part of an ongoing wave of incitement against the directors, spanning activists, politicians, opposition leaders, and senior figures in the Israeli government.
