🚨 It's official: The US government has partially shut down because Congress couldn’t reach an agreement on Trump's demand for border wall money.

buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhip…
Trump has been threatening for weeks to shut down the government over funding for his wall.

"I will shut down the government. And I am proud to shut down the government for border security," he said in a tense meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

What does a partial shutdown mean?

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will have to work without pay — others will not be able to work at all.

These 10 girls are different ages, from different states, and have different upbringings. But they have one thing in common.

They were all allegedly killed before the age of 20 by a man they at one point had a romantic relationship with buzzfeednews.com/article/stepha…
Kiera Bergman was 19 when she vanished from her Phoenix-area home in August. Her body was found about a month later.

Bergman's family is raising money for domestic violence victims in her memory. "Even if we help one person out there ... that's my goal right now," her mom said.
Authorities say 16-year-old Jholie Moussa's ex confessed to strangling her. Her mom told @WUSA9 she believes he manipulated her daughter after he was kicked out of school for harassing her: "We had multitude of conversations explaining to her that it wasn't her fault."

The Libya conflict, which started in 2011, was the first major war that took place entirely during the social media era. Militants and civilians documented the conflict in real time.

This has fundamentally shifted how war crimes are prosecuted. A thread: buzzfeednews.com/article/meghar…
Militants and ordinary Libyans began posting thousands of videos of brutality to social media. But for academics, activists and war crimes investigators who were looking, this was more than a stream of violence — it was a windfall of potential evidence.
This is a huge shift. Investigators documenting abuses used to depend heavily on diaries, records, and interviews with witnesses that sometimes took place years after the fact. Now, the evidence is available immediately — sometimes uploaded by militants incriminating themselves.

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.
