In 2016, McBob’s hosted a Thanksgiving meal for about 40 Milwaukee-area veterans. Since then, the tradition has grown into something much larger and deeply meaningful.

Imagine being, like, a sales manager from Wheeling, and you got shipped off to DC by your dipshit governor to fulfill Trump’s troops-in-the-streets fantasy, and then you spent two months wandering the Mall picking up trash, and then two days before Thanksgiving you got shot outside a Metro station
NEW: DC's Metropolitan Police Dept says it has one suspect in custody after a shooting at 17th and I, near the White House.
AP reports that two members of the National Guard were shot, which DHS sec Kristi Noem confirms in a tweet.
Jeff Mason of Reuters reports that the White House is on lockdown.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Water level at Port Inland, Michigan (south-facing coast on northern Lake Michigan) rose this morning and is now dropping as the cyclone moves east. Turning into the typical time sink when I stumble upon some interesting phenomenon that's well-known but has just caught my attention.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.
That's it. That's the whole thing.
