Good - Checks & balances against the Department of Wah...

In a decision on Sept. 12, a federal judge in California ruled that the press and public have a First Amendment right of access to military court proceedings and related records and that “[t]he Government’s policies denied ProPublica’s First Amendment right of access.” This is the first time a federal court has decided the question, although military courts have applied the presumption of access to their proceedings and related records.

      U.S. military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission: Reuters

      This is crazy... There are already procedures & guidelines in place for classified and other information... U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump’s expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion. The step is highly unusual, given that U.S. military officials are already required to shield national security secrets from public view, and comes as lawmakers in Congress say they are being kept in the dark about key aspects of the mission.

      “You’re Dead, Liberal”: Federal Agent Threatens to Shoot Veteran

      Federal agents in Chicago, alongside Trump’s Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, feel empowered to do whatever they want. A federal agent blatantly violated a court order against using excessive force against journalists and protesters last Thursday by pointing a gun in a veteran’s face, saying “Bang, bang” and “You’re dead, liberal.” The Chicago Headline Club, a nonprofit representing journalists in the Chicago area, filed a complaint in federal court after the incident, which took place in the city’s Little Village neighborhood. Local residents had gathered to observe and protest a large presence of federal agents in the area, and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino did not respond well or care to take the earlier court order into consideration.

A complete investigation into the crashes could take months.
