I guess they're planning on bombing US citizens now.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Huh. As I was saying...

"Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over and shooting the woman five times."

I just voted against another GOP funding bill that does NOTHING to keep your premiums from more than doubling.

I'm against the Republican shutdown and want to reopen the government—and we can do that as soon as Republican Leadership gets serious about negotiating.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

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. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

A riddle for @theguardian.com books page.
p.s. My new book 'Physics for Cats' is out this week in bookshops and online. Details at www.tomgauld.com

Title: One door leads to freedom, the others to certain death. You may ask one question.

Image: Three guards with shields and speard stand in front of three doors. One guard sits at a folding table working at a typewriter, his shield and spear leaning against the wall.

Caption: One guard always tells the truth, one always tells lies, and the third always tells an entrancing story that blends reportage with imagination in an attempt to reach a deeper authenticity by moving beyond the narrow categories of fact and fiction.

Republicans are telling us we have to wait to even talk about stopping health care premiums from doubling.

But billionaires didn't have to wait for the tax breaks they didn't even need?

Not OK. We need to get to work to save health care for Americans NOW.

The last three government shutdowns have happened while Donald Trump was President.

This shutdown, like all recent shutdowns, is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Enough with the chaos. Time for Republican leadership to work with Democrats to reopen government and save your health care.

Last night I watched "Bang Bang!" which is basically the #Bollywood remake of "Knight and Day". Hrithik Roshan is a very pretty man, and could probably act and dance his way out of a paper bag, but he wasn't enough to save this movie. With that said, it did have its moments. 2.5 out 5 stars.

I don't eat cows or pigs, but my neighbor from a couple of acres over is grilling some beef and the breeze is carrying the scent into my home. Smells fcking amazing. No, it won't make me eat cows again, but it makes me think about how could I grill a dinosaur chicken to taste like this smells.
