They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Any system that develops in this cold pattern has potential to produce wintry precipitation. For now we’re tracking 3 systems that could pass near the DC area now through the weekend. A potential system late Sat-early Sun has the best chance for impact, but may still be limited.

Good news. I think I've come up with a policy idea that can both eliminate the harm that Trump's trade war is doing to farmers AND also reduce the cost of groceries for regular Americans. (You'll never guess what it is.)
Farmers get a bail out in the face of the costs they've born from Trump's trade war. Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans.
Now riddle me this: Why not bail out consumers who are paying more for imported goods?
