The current freakout over Stephen Miller saying “plenary” is a classic example of how terrible coverage of the Trump era is.
Miller didn’t say something by accident then mute himself. He’s been saying the President has “plenary authority” for months. It’s one of his favourite things to say.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals."

The costs of climate are increasing and will hit local governments hard, our new research shows.
Rather than communities being forced to pay the escalating costs of repair work after fires, floods and storms, we could put a levy on gas and coal exports to help pay for the costs of climate change.
