The Trump administration argued in its petition to the court that the amendment, which was adopted in 1868, was meant to apply to newly freed slaves. It was not meant to provide citizenship to the children of immigrants without legal status, Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote.

Chic packaging and promises aside, we wanted to find out if Merit is actually as good as celebrity and podcast ads insist. Could one stick hide dark circles and breakouts?
We Tested Every Product From Merit Beauty. The Truth Isn’t As Pretty As the Packaging.
We tested makeup from Merit and liked the mascara, face brush, lipstick, and lip oil. We didn’t like the lip liner, complexion products, or eye products.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Neighbors alerted me to an ICE raid happening down the street so I went down there to help. It’s a fucking warzone. Smoke, pepper bullets, screaming. The street is blocked off with community members fighting back. All because they are raiding a fucking taco restaurant. What the fuck is going ON.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
