Listen to the panic of this moment as #ICE shoots into her car with kids inside.
How can anyone think that this is acceptable?
It's absolutely repugnant.
#ICELawlessness is happening again & again.
Just about every attack is being done without warrants on innocent people by anonymous thugs.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death.
This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

I've been thinking a lot about how hard it is to get basic housing assistance for renters and homeowners. That's shown up a lot in my reporting this year. It's unconscionable that we allow people to suffer without the basics. It's so normalized, but I want to push back against that.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Among white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their voting decision is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.
In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.
