We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.

The New York Times platforming a notorious anti-immigration "pro-natalist" white supremacist was an incredibly bad choice, but the decision to illustrate this garbage with the American flag was almost as bad.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting. But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.
At the very least, NSA Michael Waltz – who set up the group chat and made the mistake of roping in the editor of a goddamn magazine – should be forced to resign. A former solider, Waltz filled DeSantis's old seat in the House of Representatives when he was first elected governor. He's literally a replacement level politician, and I can't imagine he'd be hard to replace again. (It's not just that he screwed up massively here. He screwed up because he had a journalist's contact info in Signal to begin with. That might cause some trouble in Trumpland.)
But Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should also be on the block. Despite the very real concerns that his background as a weekend host for Fox & Friends and a semiprofessional alcoholic and sex pest might not have prepared him to oversee the American military machine. The bumbling approach revealed in this incident surely isn't a one-off, and suggests a slapdash approach to national security. (And yes, there have been even bigger warning signs. And even bigger than that.)
