The Brits have stopped sharing drug trafficking intel w/us in the Caribbean, Latin American region. They believe our extra judicial killings are illegal. If you’ve worked on this stuff or w/ the Brits, you know this is really a big deal. DOD folks—your professional liability insurance won’t work.

Looks like this is real. About 40% of the flight at 8k feet, then bumped up to 10k, and then finally went up higher, but only to 20k feet. Much slower than normal flight and likely burned a lot more fuel. But the view out the window was probably impressive.

Yes, I know the SNAP ruling was stayed but it's TEMPORARY. It's a requirement to pause the lower court order while they get information on the case and decide whether they want to pick it up/pass a ruling.

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.
