“EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.” Ilhan Omar married her brother. “In February 2009, the future Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. It was her first legal marriage. The marriage ceremony was conducted by a Christian ministesr. There is no dispute about these facts, which are recounted by the Post.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

EVERYONE WHO’S READ A COMIC BOOK KNOWS RADIATION GIVES YOU SUPER POWERS: Chernobyl Fungus Seems to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability. I mean it’s just science.

Excerpt: “This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They’re now locked into the US energy system.”

You do a decent job of retailing class-snobbery for downwardly mobiles, though, which is what most of your audience is actually there for.

#WINNING: Senate approves deal to end DHS shutdown without Democratic immigration demands. “The last-ditch deal does not include any of the demands Democrats have placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — including that agents be barred from wearing masks and operate under tougher warrant requirements to detain illegal migrants. The bill does not provide funding for ICE or Border Patrol, but those subagencies already received billions of dollars under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law by President Trump this past July and immigration enforcement has gone on uninterrupted by the shutdown.”
