New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

I cannot stress enough that it is possible to govern well, and to do so in a manner that is broadly accretive.

Also a union is only as good as the people running it! Plenty of bad unions have bad reps who push for bad policies.

We also should keep in mind that there was nothing stopping the Egyptians from participating. They'd seen the Israelites spared of plagues before.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Setting aside the absurdity here, taking money from foreigners to state a political opinion is completely legal! Ms. Rachel is not a candidate for office (425 EVs easy)

1 Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; *
protect my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, *
from the mob of evildoers.

3 They sharpen their tongue like a sword, *
and aim their bitter words like arrows,

Long quote 🧡

"Geologists communicated in English; and they could name things in a manner that sent shivers through the bones. They had roof pendants in their discordant batholiths, mosaic conglomerates in desert pavement. There was ultrabasic, deep-ocean, mottled green-and-black rockβ€”or serpentine.

something that stuck with me during Booker's marathon speech: most Dems used the questions sent his way to talk about real people affected by cuts, talk about Trump and Musk, or otherwise be relatable. Schumer's was focused on the GOP maybe going around the Senate parliamentarian on tax cuts
