According to the client list on its web site, Eleison Group has also represented FPL.* Secular pro-choice groups have expressed shock that Stupak’s amendment made it in at the last minute. But to Butler, it was no surprise. “We saw the problem coming,” she told RD. “Capps wasn’t working as a compromise.” Stupak and his group of 40 “felt dissed,” said Butler, but because FPL doesn’t lobby on the Hi…

Not wanting Perez-Villanueva or Sacaria-Goday to join the list of what the Border Patrol considers “collateral damage,” he brought them to “the Barn,” a small building in Ajo, Arizona, used by No More Deaths, to provide them with food, water, beds, and clean clothes. This is where he was arrested on April 17, 2018, and charged with two felony counts. I too am guilty of the same “crime” Warren committed, for I, along with thousands…

Packer’s talk at the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints this past Sunday. I knew five minutes into this talk that it was going to set the bloggernacle abubble (as Joanna Brooks has already described here on RD).

I could “see” what she meant, then and there, and I stopped worrying that I would make a promise and then forget this unnamed woman and her three children.

One of them is a choice people make: their religion. For conservatives to say they will be arrested for preaching against gays and lesbians if these other “choices” are added to the law is preposterous on its face.
