This Illinois Reform May Bring Relief to Overworked Public Defenders Public defenders have "nowhere to go for help," at the mercy of floundering local budgets and local prosecutorsโ€™ policy swings. Illinois is creating a statewide office to change that.

โ€œYou want your public defender system to be strong. That is how we get to justice and make sure we donโ€™t make mistakes,โ€ says Eric Rinehart, the chief prosecutor of Illinoisโ€™ Lake County.

Here's the complaint relating to the alleged ramming, followed by the shots in Chicago earlier.

Just one of three Border Patrol Agents turned their bodycam on, and the BWC only corroborated:
1) That they shot
2) The timing
3) What one of the cars did afterwards

White House officials have grown tired of her posts and Loomerโ€™s efforts to work around them, several administration officials said. Top administration officials have launched a hunt to try to find out what motivates her posts and attacks, the officials said.

On Wednesday, she claimed that Nicholas Waytowich, a U.S. Army official, was fired because she had identified him as the creator of Red Dot, an app that tracks ICE officials. An Army official said Waytowich is suspended and under investigation. 

โ€œI donโ€™t work for the administration, and I donโ€™t control hiring,โ€ said Loomer. โ€œIโ€™m posting facts.โ€

Some White House officials have also grown concerned about Loomerโ€™s access to Trump and suspected that she was being paid for some of her attacks. Several posts outside her usual national security interests, including a campaign against a Food and Drug Administration official and push for the administration to approve a drilling license off the coast of Venezuela, raised particular concerns at the White House, according to administration officials. Loomer has denied taking money for specific posts.

Honest I said someone should write a spy novel about how American adversaries could take out top NatSec people only by getting one of three right wing trolls to lie about the target on Xitter before WSJ did this story on Laura Loomer.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, itโ€™s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
