1 Congressional Democrats Blast Search Of Rep. Ilhan Omar's Home By DOJ
Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home yesterday as part of a criminal investigation. The Justice Department said Homeland Security Investigations agents carried out a search warrant approved by a judge but gave no further details about the case. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, confirmed the search and called it another step in President Trump’s campaign of political pressure against her, and said the administration was using federal law enforcement to target political enemies. Vice President JD Vance has previously accused Omar of immigration fraud, a claim she denies. Omar’s office has described those claims as made up and harmful to her reputation.

3 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Urges Alberta To Not Leave Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is urging Alberta voters to choose unity ahead of a vote on Monday. The ballot asks whether the province should stay in Canada or begin the process of holding a future vote on leaving. In his Thanksgiving message, Carney warned that separation would start a long, uncertain process while Canada faces economic and security threats. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith supports staying, despite calling for the vote. Even a future vote to leave would not automatically make Alberta independent, since negotiations with the federal government would be required before the province could secede.
