Does anybody else remember a time when going to the supermarket didn't feel like a scene from a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel? Fuck Fry's. Ever since Kroger bought them, It's been nothing but understaffing, fist fighting, parking wars, robots and empty shelves.

15/ Today we’ve published a deeply reported 5-part series. It’s about Albany, Georgia.
It’s about getting sick in America.
And it’s about what happens when the most powerful institution in town is a hospital.

Listen to the clip. Instead of immediately shutting him down when he lies that he hadn’t heard about the pardon of the Honduran president who was convicted of a conspiracy to smuggle 400 TONS OF COCAINE, Stephanopolous lets him spew insanities about how this one boat was the existential threat.

Stephanopoulos needs to cut this guy's microphone. Schmitt is continually lying through his teeth and not answering questions in good faith. George is letting Schmitt get away with a lot of deception and obstruction.

It's a campaign of terror.
Her terror (and the terror of entire communities, forced into hiding) is not incidental.
It is a product they are manufacturing, a key part of the spectacle for their intended audience.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
