Federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, D.C. Mehdi Hasan explains how President Trump has "broken every single promise. But this is the one promise he's keeping to his base. I will take revenge on our enemies. I will be retribution."

Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”
