Another angle of Alex Pretti shooting. Again, he didn't go after agent. He was pushed & pepper sprayed as he went to aid a woman who was pushed down by agent. He was thrown to the ground. He was on his hands & knees being hit & sprayed in the face. Hands visible in front of him the entire time.

What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning.
*21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity.
*Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company

Oh my God, what an incredibly real and incredibly terrifying story. These grown men were locked inside a restaurant? Wow.
It's hard to say where that ranks next to the state-sanctioned murders and the kidnapping of children, but gosh, they were briefly locked inside a restaurant? Heaven forfend.

Dr. who worked with Alex Pettri, the ICU nurse executed by ice today, writes about his colleague.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist.
I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more.
But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this
