The abortion pill argument was a surreal one for me, as I graduated in the same small high school class as Erin Hawley, who argued the case. And unlike a lot of the current GOP grifter class (such as her husband), she's been 100% pro-life going back to middle school days when we would go back and forth on the issue in the school library. The abortion pill argument was always going to be a tricky one to make (as we saw with the questions posed by the justices yesterday), but I can't think of anyone who has been preparing more (her whole life in this case) to present those arguments.
What's going to be interesting to watch is to what extent Lucas Kunce (the Democrat running against Josh Hawley for the Missouri Senate seat) is able to make Erin's efforts a campaign issue, while Josh is trying to moderate his stance on the issue a bit. Should make for an interesting Senate race this fall.
Jobs that Americans won't do. What the heck. If there are jobs than need to be done in the USA that citizens will not do, maybe we need to put work requirements on welfare handouts, reduce earned income credits and SNAP benefits, and make government dependence a generally unpleasant experience for those in good health. I'm sure there are plenty of deadbeats in the Baltimore area who could do the job.
I employed engineers 25 years younger than me who had summer jobs in college and high school repairing potholes and working on built up-roofing crews. I can remember doing construction surveying from 7:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. for utility construction that the City of Atlanta would not allow during normal working hours.

I can think of one bridge a Ukrainian would want to ram with a ship - but it's in Ukraine, not in the USA.
