Last night at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her OB-GYN because the doctor objected to the fact that she isn't married. She's been with her partner for 15 years and has a 13-year-old son. The doctor told her that because she was unwed, according to a new law in Tennessee, he didn't feel comfortable treating her because it went against his "Christian values."

"the state lost 18,000 fast food jobs -down 3.2% compared to other states."
Oh no. Fewer fast food jobs in California. Because that's the sign of a healthy economy. Fast food jobs.
Anyway, here's the other study that is referenced, out of Berzerkeley.
8. Conclusions
In the first nine months of its existence, the California fast-food minimum wage policy has
worked as intended. It has significantly increased the pay of fast-food workers. It has not
had a negative effect on fast-food employment and the number of fast-food restaurants,
and it has generated very modest price increases.
These results would be surprising in the theoretical world of perfectly competitive labor
markets, where employed workers always have the option to move to a comparable job
with another employer and employers can hire all the workers they want at the going
wage. In such a world, increases in the price of labor reduce the demand for labor.
However, as numerous studies have found, real world labor markets are far from
competitive, low-wage labor markets especially so. In real world labor markets, frictions
restrict the mobility of labor and employers must increase pay if they want to hire more
workers.

"But the judge... said .. there was sufficient evidence to support Mr Abrego Garcia's gang membership"
That's not even close to what they wrote.
They wrote "he has not demonstrated that he is not a danger." storage.courtlistener.com
They did not comment either way on whether he is, or is not, a gang member.
It's this type of stupidity I really don't feel like talking to.
