Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Had Trump not ignored a week-old court order to withdraw the troops from DC, no one would have been shot and all the members of the WV guard would have been home sor Thanksgiving.

My foster dog went to her new family this morning. It may be a little thing but it brings me great joy to have helped this girl come out of her shell and shine so that the right family could find her.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I put down my dog today.

Each one of my dogs has been special in their own right but Bear was just an exceptional being.

His previous owner was convicted of felony animal abuse.

And yet, Bear loved the world.

This picture was taken yesterday. I’ll treasure it forever.

ICE agents destroy the restaurant and steal food and supplies from Emiliano’s Mexican Restaurant in Pittsburg, PA while carrying out a raid.
