Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

The United States Congress has the Constitutional power and the patriotic duty to stop this insanity immediately, for the good of all Conservative and Liberal Americans’ future.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

The Republican Party is declaring that they are the rulers of the entire planet, superseding every country’s own government. Any country that doesn’t pay for their protection racket may be bombed & its leaders killed or kidnapped.
COTTON: If they don't want to follow in Maduro's footsteps, they need to start meeting our demands. And it's always an option for our military to protect American citizens and interests
BASH: And the interest is Venezuelan oil fields in this case?

Just yesterday, CBS News posted its new "5 simple values," which included #3 "to present you with the fullest picture—and the strongest voices on all sides of an issue."
If that is the standard, tonight's first episode of Evening News under Dokoupil was a collosal failure.

Either the world takes collective action and stops trying to appease him - or the consequences will be an escalating series of war crimes and global disasters at his hands.
