When the current Regime falls, there MUST be trials. Not "show trials", but prosecutions stemming from the Regime's flagrant violation of US laws. No more butter knives at gun fights, no more ersatz collegiality, which the Trumpistas see only as a weakness to exploit

If a fetus is a "person", then that "person"'s parents should be able to claim available child tax benefits. In Alabama, frozen embryos have been declared to be "children". The same tax benefits should apply. A child is a child...right ?
