December might be extra chilly this year across parts of the U.S. because of a weather phenomenon unfolding miles above the North Pole.
Why an unusual phenomenon will cause a frigid December in the U.S.
A sudden stratospheric warming could soon disturb the polar vortex. Why that will cause frigid air to spill from the North Pole to North America.

8. Still, Trump's chances of securing a settlement are pretty good because Trump says he will be the one to approve it.

"It’s awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself,” Trump said last month.

1. Trump is in the process of sending millions in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

The money purportedly is to settle legal claims.

But these claims are extraordinarily weak and have little to no chance of success.

In reality, it is a brazen theft.

I'm as flabbergasted as Dean on this one. Unfuckingreal. First off, it's illegal but more than that, some children never get over such abuse. Some adults never get over it even with therapy. WTF is going on in this country?

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Trump, the Con Man in Chief, is calling the affordability crisis a “con job by Democrats”.

Here’s the problem: everyone feels it. He’s telling people to ignore their own lived experience. If you voted for Trump to bring down costs, you cannot pretend this is not happening.

Do you think this is right?

Do you think that we should be pulling families apart at elementary schools?

Can you imagine the trauma that these children are going through?

Are you willing to take two minutes to call Congress & demand that they stop this #ICELawlessness?

The Trump Organization requested 184 foreign workers to work across various company properties, a record number that has increased over the years.

So how do racist xenophobic Republicans feel about this now?
