Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.
It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Why This Feeling Serves the Opposition
Every pressure campaign seeks the same end state. Hopelessness. A belief that effort leads nowhere. Once people stop acting, oversight fades. Accountability weakens. Power concentrates faster.

Rob Reiner, at worst, should have won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At best, he should have received an honorary Oscar.
It's possible he turned it down multiple times, but this should be rectified.

Russian drones have attacked four Turkish vessels in the past 48 hours.
This is an attack on a NATO member state.
NATO must strike back against the Russian shadow fleet.

When the president says “things can happen,” he is not offering comfort or perspective. He is offering permission, permission to accept mass death as inevitable, to treat slaughter as background noise in American life.
