Speaker Johnson claimed Republicans were doing “some of the most meaningful work of their careers” during the House’s ridiculous 54 day recess.
Of course, that did not include in-person town halls.

Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says France is also concerned about US military operations in the Caribbean, citing violations of international law.
This comes after the UK yesterday stopped sharing intelligence with the US over the execution of civilians in small boats.

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

6. Until we have communal confidence that permanently suspended people actually received detailed and ideally actionable reports on what happened (appeal processes should exist), it's going to keep feeling bad.

ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans.
Two things:
1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would.
2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.
