Israeli troops arrived shortly before the attack, which seemed to embolden the settlers, Khrzhanovskiy said. 
Soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinians and “did absolutely nothing about the settlers,” Khrzhanovskiy said. (Gift article) wapo.st/4B6E8Jb

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

“Asked by Fox News on Sept. 13 whether an investigation of Omar has been opened, Tom Homan said that ‘things are going on,’ adding, ‘Look, I said months ago that it’s something that’s been reported and it needs to be looked at.’ But he declined to give specifics.” wapo.st/4hTG5zP

When I think of the way Biden worried about the appearance of Justice Department weaponization over the previous administration’s clearly illegal acts and the current partisan system.. We can’t move on again until the criminals in the administration are held accountable.

But, as I wrote in my newsletter, these 8th circuit judges should actually be impeached. We simply can’t have “a judicial system” if Republican judges are going to literally defy the *Republican* Supreme Court just to try to give the GOP one more House seat.
