Kilmar Abrego Garcia speaks at the ICE Baltimore field office for a scheduled check-in. Abrego was released from custody after a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration lacked legal authority to continue holding him in an immigration detention center.

Don't let this one get by ... it's not getting enough attention.
Thursday was brutal for Trump on multiple fronts — Indiana, Letitia James, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, AP poll, et al. — but don’t sleep on the House passing the Protect America’s Workforce Act.
It’s the first time this year the Republican-led House has voted to undo a Trump executive order.

I missed this but back in October, Alaska appointed Jenna Lorence, daughter of First Liberty / Alliance Defending Freedom lawyer Jordan Lorence, as its first state solicitor general. She doesn't seem to have any connection to Alaska, and previously worked in the Indiana and Kentucky SG offices.

•James is 34-0 against Donald Trump.
•Trump is 0-3 against Letitia James.
He's a 34X convicted felon
She's a 3X vindicated icon
If only Merrick Garland had 1/100th the courage & integrity of Leticia James.

Instacart prices vary by 20% or more depending on the customer, despite buying the same item from the same store at the same time.
Instacart admits that customers are subject to "pricing tests."
Surveillance pricing is so much more pervasive than we know.
