Retired Navy captain: No law of armed conflict permits execution without combat. No one in those boats justifiably can be labeled a combatant. There is no moral universe in which vaporizing human beings in the middle of the ocean is an act of justice. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Contributor: Do our military leaders have the backbone to disobey illegal orders?
A recently uncovered memo promises U.S. soldiers immunity for the killing of more than 80 people in boat strikes throughout the Caribbean, effectively conceding it crossed a line.

Fox 40 whistles are the best. They are about $10.00 per. We use them to ref outside and in bad weather. No moving parts and loud as hell. Seriously, nothing beats a nice whistle.

Sending women who get abortions to prison for decades. Outlawing IUDs. Sharply restricting in-vitro fertilization.
These are the strictest abortion prohibitions and punishments in the nation being considered by South Carolina lawmakers.

It’s crazy that the President understands health care so little that he thinks this even approaches the already low “concepts of a plan” bar.
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

For much of this nation's history, health care for incarcerated people was provided directly by state prison or health authorities. But today, roughly two dozen states use for-profit health care contractors.
In Illinois, a Private Prison Company’s Long Trail of Deaths and High-Dollar Contracts
This year, Illinois again picked Wexford Health Services for prison health care despite longstanding claims of neglect. A judge has since extended court monitoring of prisons.

What happened in Indiana this week was huge.
Much bigger than just two House seats.
Mike Pence, Mitch Daniels and a broad democracy coalition stopped the mid-decade election rigging…in a GOP-dominated state.
A HUGE win!!!! And a huge defeat for Vance and Trump.
