The initial reporting was only sourced to DHS and Border Patrol, both of whom are known and proven liars.
Media, do better.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

If DHS or the regime is the only source of the information, then it hasn't been verified.

Sam Brunson @smbrnsn.bsky.social · 3d

To be absolutely clear: if ICE or DHS says something happened, it almost certainly didn't happen.

And even if it did, at this point, the burden is on them to produce evidence. Anybody who gives them even the least benefit of the doubt hasn't been paying attention.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

The explanation

dr-david-c.bsky.social @dr-david-c.bsky.social · 3d

Was intended to explode, but didn't. However, it was still sending video to the operator who used information that to locate the BUK. Another drone was sent, which is why everyone scattered at the end.

A unique operation by the Lazar unit: a drone with explosives lands on a Russian BUK air defense system on the move, tracks its route, and ultimately explodes.

Russian air defense systems are stretched thin as they are sent to Crimea to protect Pootin's Crown Jewel. Every time Ukraine destroys one there, another one has to be pulled from protecting a refinery or munitions supplier.

I’ll end this day (midnight in Kyiv)
with some good news.

A drone attack set fire to russia’s Kirishi oil refinery,
forcing it to shut down its largest unit
– about 40% of total capacity.
Repairs may take a month.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

One would think this would be welcomed by the Republicans. Combining demonic sexual performance with organized acts of violence is their lifestyle choice these days.
