The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

11:15am: Absolutely puking snow out there. The best time to enjoy the snow (sledding, walks, etc) is starting now and will last the next few hours before sleet starts to creep in. I hope you all are able to get out there and take it all in!!

Some sad news. 🐘 Craig, one of the few big tuskers left in Africa, passed away January 3,2025 from natural causes. One of the Rangers who guarded him was with him when he collapsed and was unable to get up. 😥 He was 54 years old. His genes live on, which is wonderful, but I feel his loss. 💔

The most junior copy editor at the nation’s worst college paper could find a way to squeeze “which killed an estimated 40 people” somewhere into these top 6 grafs of the NYTimes story.
It was a conscious decision to bury it in the bottom half.

1. Maduro is not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
2. But capturing him through an extra-legal action that violates international law undermines any US credibility with Russia in Ukraine and China with Taiwan.
3. We have a terrible history with topping leaders without a post-war plan.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

Trump has pardoned MULTIPLE drug dealers - Silk Road, Binance, former President of Honduras - so this has NOTHING to do with fighting drugs.
This is about oil, only oil, only ways for Trump to enrich himself and his political and financial allies.

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.
