We don’t want fishermen to start avoiding air strikes
House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Florida and Utah seem to be in a competition for the most bizarre crimes. We get our share of crime here in metro Atlanta, but those two states seem to audition for true crime documentaries.

The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔
