By using the term "open border," conservatives are suggesting that anyone can get into the U.S. without much hassle. But the reality is the southern border is more fortified than it's ever been.

Monday, the Supreme Court gets back to work.
This term is not about conservatives v. liberals. Liberals are not allowed to have cases anymore. This term is conservatives v. nihilists.
This term is Law v. the 5th Circuit.

Cochran County, which borders New Mexico, has outlawed travel on its local roads to seek an abortion, joining a small group of other rural Texas counties that have passed similar measures.

Abortion-rights supporters say the new policies are not legal.

Please stop calling North Carolina's abortion ban a "12-week ban." It's not. Abortion medication - used in 60% of abortions in the state - is only legal before 10 weeks.

And just so you get a sense of what we're talking about, this is a pregnancy at 9 weeks.

@ElieNYC Love this thread

this is maddening

@MelechThomas @deray Agreed
