🚨OVERTIME 🚨

In local news… This shooting death by police of Bijan Ghaisar near my old place in Alexandria is finally getting some federal attention.

Ryan J. Reilly @ryanjreilly

Attorney General Merrick Garland “will allow FBI agents to cooperate in the manslaughter prosecution of two U.S. Park Police officers after the fatal shooting of Bijan Ghaisar,” ⁦@TomJackmanWP⁩ reports:

washingtonpost.comJustice Dept. reverses course, will assist prosecution in Park Police killing of Bijan GhaisarAfter the Trump administration’s Justice Department refused to help local prosecutors in the Ghaisar shooting, new Attorney General Merrick Garland changed that decision

Let’s scrap the Jones Act. Friend and former roommate Andrew Heaton has some thoughts:

Time to scrap it.

Time for Rosen to testify.

Christian Vanderbrouk @UrbanAchievr

Call Jeffrey Rosen to testify publicly and ask him to explain to the American people why he believed insubordination was necessary. Then dare Republicans to criticize him for not investigating Youtube videos or meeting with Rudy's cronies.

Ball’s in your court, Democrats…
