If you're in DC, you've probably heard of Sakina. It's a delicious Pakistani restaurant that also feeds the poor and homeless for free.

Now, they need our help. They're underwater during the crisis. Please consider giving if you can: gofundme.com/f/sakina-halal…
From last night to today, their total raised went up $40k, and now they're only $40k away from their $250k goal. If you can, please help them get there today!
This is so great dc.eater.com/2020/11/18/215…
They're only $5k away! Image

It wasn't until recently when I was listening to this that it struck me how many covers they played during this show. Nearly half the songs are covers, and three are Meat Puppets songs, which they brought the guys out to play with them.

For some reason, that makes me feel good.
I've said this before, but this is how I came to love Dave Grohl, even though I'm not a big Foo Fighters fan. He was doing one of those live radio shows one day, and he kept talking about bands he loved, and then being like "Oh can I play one of their songs!"
He was supposed to be promoting Foo Fighters, but you could tell he just loved music and didn't give a shit if he was promoting himself or someone else.

Since taking office, President Trump's businesses have likely taken in more than $13 million from special interest groups representing private prisons, payday lenders, and many other industries seeking to curry favor with his administration. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
2/ While it’s long been routine for wealthy interests seeking to buy access and influence over a president to do so by making large political contributions to his campaign and allied groups, it’s unique to President Trump that these groups personally enrich him in the process.
3/ We've tracked 137 of these events since the day Trump took office. citizensforethics.org/trump-conflict…

NEW: A dark money group with no website, no employees and no apparent offices brought in $80 million in its first year of operation.

The group's sole trustee is Leonard Leo, the Trump judicial advisor who's tied to millions spent on judicial nominations citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
The filing vastly expands the amount of money known to be flowing into the growing constellation of dark money groups tied to Leo and provides new details about his role in a secretive firm that was responsible for a $1 million donation to Trump’s inaugural committee.
The only other people linked to the group, based on the sparse filing, are either longtime Federalist Society officials-turned-consultants like Leo, or operatives with a long history working behind the scenes on dark money groups tied to Leo.

Just so everyone's clear. This isn't rainwater. Charleston hasn't had any significant precipitation for days.

Look at those blue skies. The city now routinely floods on sunny days.
According to NWS data, Charleston has had 1,067 "flood events" since 1953.

The last *five years* have seen 275 floods. In other words, 1-in-4 of all the floods in the last 67 years have been since Jan 2016, and it includes 2020 which isn't even done yet. weather.gov/chs/coastalflo…
All but two of Charleston's top 10 flood years are within the past decade.

The Trump campaign wants us to believe that Biden is a senile old man, but also that just a few years ago, he managed to co-opt the entire US foreign policy apparatus, the E.U., and the IMF in a secret ploy to protect his son without anyone knowing.
This is the weird thing about all Trump World conspiracies: For the theories to be feasible, the person at the center of them would have to be a genius, with unparalleled powers of manipulation and cunning
For example, with Uranium One, Hillary Clinton supposedly secured a unanimous vote from nine U.S. government agencies—without leaving any evidence of her involvement—for a deal that would benefit a Clinton Foundation donor who had sold his shares in the company 3 years earlier
