Why Ilhan Omar Makes the Right Lose Its Mind
Trump and his MAGA allies want people like Omar to vanish from this country—and they hate her for refusing to do so.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.

Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

Historian I know posted this on a social site. I think he’s right on this. We talk abt fascism as like a superlative, whatever is the worst. But there are many different bad things. And in many ways this is a better analogue.

It was another stunning year for global climate and weather extremes.
As data is processed and released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new historical records. Apologies for my many graphs in advance! 😬
