Rep. Joyce Beatty told Donald Trump "I know you're incompetent" – to his face. She also told him, "You’re already killing people. We’re at war. We also have people who are starving. You’re doing this." and "You have more bankruptcies than anyone in the room."

This is insane. DOJ officials who by law are required to exercise independent judgment appear to have been ordered to overturn torture protections granted to a political opponent of a Trump ally, with a deportation flight fueled up and ready for their preordained decision made in less than 24 hours.

Since 1979, around 12.5 trillion U.S. tons of ice have disappeared from Greenland and Antarctica. That equals 11.3 trillion metric tons. If that mass were spread evenly across the continental United States, it would cover the country in a layer of ice about 5 feet thick.
