It depends on if you assume controlled substance applied to every item on the list or if being addicted to any simulant would count. How I read it, if alcohol counts, so does caffeine.

It isn't a win. But it isn't a loss either. It just doesn't matter.
Maybe it's a step towards losing that holier than thou attitude and actually getting things done.
Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
I could read that to include being an alcoholic. But I can also read it as being addicted to caffeine.
when basically the only messaging we sent out during the entire 2024 campaign was that we were the morally superior choice. That someone who doesn't respect the rule of law has no business being president.
And how exactly did that work out? I don't think moral superiority is at all a helpful thing in politics.
I think it's more y=5x and then y=3x, so you're still increasing, but the rate of increase has decreased. Versus y=-x where the function is now decreasing.
So you never make plans you aren't happy to do alone just to make your loved one's day? Like I'm not crazy about X band, but my husband loves them, so getting tickets and taking him is something I do for him. But I'd never go to that alone.
EIT is a refundable tax credit. Meaning if your total tax burden is less than the credit, federal government will pay you the difference. A part of the child tax credit is the same.
It seems like networking would be even more important for you. You'd have people who could vouch for you: "Yeah they're kind of weird in an interview, but they do amazing work."
Because small children absolutely adore it.
SCOTUS has already started ignoring things like standing. I mentioned that the main check on SCOTUS is the legislature. I don't think Congress can get its shit together long enough to effect any real check. Last term they could barely elect a speaker and this term they have even slimmer majorities. Unless the midterms are a historically large blue wave, it's not going to matter. If a handful of defectors can kill the change, it's not happening.
SCOTUS has the final say on what the Constitution should mean right now. They can decide however they want. The only remedies are through the legislature (impeachment, constitutional amendments, increasing the size of the court). But if they decide something, that's the law of the land even if it's blatantly wrong.
Clinton pardoned his brother for selling cocaine. It's not like this is the first time a Democrat has done this.
