Remember that the legal standard for deadly force is whether the agent reasonably believed that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
That is the only question that matters. And that standard is plainly not met by what we see in the video.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations.

End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:
If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

"America rejected kingly power once, and we must do so now,” writes Constitutional law expert @anthonymkreis.bsky.social.
In 18th-century England, laws were changed at the king’s whim and legislative authority was subordinate to executive power. Deja vu?

We rejected kingly power once. We must do so again.
Constitutional principles are so deeply wedded to the American experience that they transcend presidential administrations.

Hey, America! Tired of voting? The GOP's SAVE Act is for you.
In an eye-opening new CAP report, @gbedekovics.bsky.social & @sydkneeb.bsky.social show how the bill would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Hit hardest would be 69 million (largely Republican!) women who took their spouses' names.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
