They won't need to pack the court. Alito and Thomas will retire in about 18 months, just after having upheld a national abortion ban. They'll view it as their crowning achievement and walk into the sunset as GOP heroes. Then they'll be replaced with like-minded ideologues in their mid-40s to ensure that the right wing of the court will remain intact for at least the next 20 years.

If they packed the court, they will have just opened the door for Dems to do the same. Instead, they'll leave it at 9 and dare the Dems to do something about it.

And when the economy tanks, him and his rich buddies will be right there to buy everything for pennies on the dollar, putting the screws to all of us even harder.

Don't forget the simple greed from the corps.

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.

Also remember (as you clearly wrote many times) that we're talking increased risk, not causation. We were 24 and 27 when my autistic daughter was born. Sometimes you just get dealt a rough hand.

Nope. Unfortunately, like so many other things related to US elections, it's a patchwork that varies by state.

As president, he will demand to speak with the president of Puerto Rico!

 

Had similar problems with my P6P. There are multiple areas in my town where I show full / nearly full bars, but my service is terrible or non-existent (!). If I toggle Airplane Mode, I'll get great speeds until it drops out again. Sometimes this is 30 seconds, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes hours/days. But at some point it will drop out again. Ugh...

 

It was pretty funny to see these back to back in my feed.
