Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Putin says Russia will take Donbas by force or Ukraine's troops will withdraw The Russian leader's comments come as US and Ukrainian negotiators are due to hold a new round of talks.

Anyone who isn't delusional knows that Putin will never accept peace. He's telling the world he will have Ukraine one way or the other, so why not keep fighting him?

NPR battles Trump executive order in court NPR was in court for a pivotal hearing arguing that the Trump administration had broken the law with its treatment of public media.

NPR fights Trump's executive order against public media

The case isn't getting much attention.

But it pits the press's right not to face government retaliation over coverage against the president's assertion of vast executive powers

Colin Powell, a man I once had a great deal of respect for, tried to pass off photos of pool cleaning vans as mobile chemical weapons labs.

Don't show up in my mentions claiming you can identify a boat smuggling drugs from a thermal gun-cam screenshot.

When I served on the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board (under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1), what impressed me most about the commitment of Military Officers was their sworn allegiance β€” not to a leader or commander or a king, but to the US Constitution.

I don't even know what a "double tap" means outside of mafia hitmen or terrorist bombings.

We did not "double tap."

We continued firing to kill survivors.

That's just murder.

A troll came across this post. I reported and blocked.

But they asked, "What evidence are you entitled to?"

ALL OF IT. Habeas Corpus. Provide the body, show the evidence.

There is no war or AUMF, so we should see all evidence.

We don't work for the government, they work for us.
