The Hope Florida grand jury identified serious unanswered questions and a failure to cooperate that kept investigators from getting the full truth. Floridians deserve answers. As Governor, I will reopen the investigation, pursue the facts, and hold anyone who broke the law accountable.

Interesting choice by NYT to publish an op-ed bemoaning America’s projected population decline by a guy who’s massively racist against immigrants and compares IVF to “Nazi eugenics.” The “pronatalists” only want more of a very specific kind of person in this country. It gives the game away.
The Population Forecasts Are Grim. Theyre Still Too Optimistic.
By Lyman StoneIt's difficult to articulate the extent to which Somalian immigrants are a *unique* problem.
Other immigrant groups may not always have stellar outcomes, but there are almost none who as persistently have the absolute worst outcomes in every country they move to as Somalians.FWIW I think attacking IVF really is a massively losing political position, and I say that as someone with serious moral concerns around
IVF.
I think if you must attack IVF, you would argue against discarding embryos as a form of Nazi eugenics, not on the basis of personhood.

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph
But the tender sheen over the event quickly dissipated last month when a hodgepodge of musicians booked for live performances backed out at the last minute, saying they were not informed that the Freedom 250 festivities would have a political tilt. Several states also announced they would not participate. In the eleventh hour, the president declared he would headline the fair himself: He was introduced at a rally Wednesday night by transportation secretary Sean Duffy, who started by eschewing the "libtards that canceled on us." When Trump finally took the stage, he lauded America as the "hottest" nation in the world. "Nobody's laughing at us anymore," said the man filling in for Milli Vanilli.
