Oh a slightly lighter note, the most nuts winter road conditions I've ever experienced were on 76 leading into Philadelphia:
* It snowed, a lot
* It rained on the snow
* It froze hard, 10-20F for days
This made inches of ice on the road, which then quickly *potholed*
You can't imagine ....

I'm surprised how unsurprised the agents were by gunfire. All of them. You have to be *jacked* on adrenaline (or speed) not to even flinch at the sound of a 9mm pistol a few feet away.
Literally not one of them jumped or turned his head.
Then again most witnesses didn't either.

The final 5 shots were fired starting three seconds after the first, with the shooter(s) standing several feet away from the victim lying on the ground like they're standing around shooting into a campfire.
This is the image that really disgusts me.

Here is an easily downloadable copy of three publicly available videos showing the killing of Alex Pretti, synchronized, with timeline.
I suggest you avoid it unless you really want to know.

ICE murdered a VA ICU nurse? This will be an interesting day of spin and lies from the government.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.

It seems clear that DHS used the safe procedure of disarming the man before shooting him to death
Moments before the first shot is fired, this federal agent can be seen retreating with a gun. It appears to match the general appearance of the firearm posted by DHS, including the red dot sight. This agent’s back is turned when the first shot occurs. x.com/BillMelugin_...

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this.

Leonard Leo, we hardly knew ya
Trump: "The people heading up the lawsuit - like this guy named Leonard Leo, he's a bad guy - people that are very China-oriented & foreign car-oriented. They're suing to get rid of tariffs! Like Coke. Coke has businesses outside the US. If you have 'em outside, you don't want tariffs"

So this is another story you shouldn't read if you don't want to be angry in 15 minutes
How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank.
Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall.
