Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.
"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

The president, who routinely lies about his weight, held an event with two top health officials (a TV doctor and a guy who had a worm in his brain). The event, centered on drugs that make it unnecessary to exercise to lose weight, was interrupted when one of the elderly men attending fainted.
holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

The immune system is dangerous, usually more to pathogens than to you. But only because it’s so tightly controlled.

I tell you what, though: I've come to have a very basic problem with the formulation "if liberal government doesn't do XYZ, fascism rises." This to me reflects one of the deepest & most enduring blind spots among the broad left coalition, namely ... they don't believe in the right.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
