In 2012, an anti-Obamacare law enshrined that “each competent adult shall have the right to make his or her own health care decisions” in Wyoming. That language just inadvertently saved abortion in the state. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oO9Vxs
How an Attack on Obamacare Saved Abortion in Wyoming
In the most conservative state in the U.S., libertarianism can lead in surprising directions.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Why is he blowing up boats with low-level drug runners,
and letting the kingpins go free?

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
