Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation.
It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job.
It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

This is terrifying
Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.
ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.
If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?
