My siblings and I called my father’s longtime friend and business partner “Uncle”, his wife was “Aunt”. We’re all quite WASP-y.

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."

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 29th day.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?
