Very tasty. Served with naan. I’d back off the garlic- 6 cloves is a lot. And be mindful of how salty the capers and olives are. Will do again.

Y’all, you really HAVE to read the article. Click the link—this isn’t one where you only read someone’s summary. You will be mindblown:
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Facts from someone who has been in the pit. Can the screaming assholes STFU now and make serious plans to vote so we can take back Congress and the White House?
Former House Appropriations staffer here. At this point the Senate can't defund ICE; HR1 funds ICE through September. A "no" vote here shuts down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shut down ICE? Gotta take back Congress in the 2026 midterms. Getting rid of DHS? Gotta take back the White House in 2028.

Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.

This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

They failed.

Trump’s press conference and Davos speech were unhinged—and the videos would be funny if they weren’t both sad and terrifying.

Trump is clearly unwell. For the safety and security of all Americans, we must invoke the 25th Amendment.
