WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.”
This is Nick’s story.

If you’re confused about Trump’s claim that the US bombed a facility in Venezuela last week, I wrote this tick-tock of the past few days:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

As we expected, a STING JET is visible on satellite imagery south of Newfoundland. This somewhat rare feature is producing winds of 100 to 120 mph over a narrow area. It's SUCH fascinating meteorology!
