This is a lie. I live on the border. There is no emergency. The only thing that makes me feel unsafe is the war game my own country is playing against an ally in peacetime.
I pass back and forth between countries regularly. The most unsafe I feel is when border agents harass me and search my car for no reason, which now happens just about every time I cross despite my SENTRI card and squeaky-clean history. Why do you think that is, @DHSgov? 🤔
It seems to only happen to me and a few other journalists. It's almost as if we're being singled out. But don't worry, if it's happening to us, it's going to happen to the rest of you, too.

"We believe CNN declined a report from KUSI because we informed them that most Border Patrol Agents we have spoken to told us the barrier does in fact work."

If you can't tell the difference between facts and feelings, why are you in the news business?
What no one wants to say out loud is that the production values and reporting overall at KUSI has declined so precipitously thanks to budget cuts and a hellish internal culture that they are difficult to watch at this point. I think that's probably the real reason.
Also "kusi" is Finnish for piss. I've never had any reason to share this bit of trivia until now so today is a great day

People are smarter and better than we give them credit for most of the time. Humans are smart! This study ended up really depressing a lot of fact-checkers and I always was convinced that there was some kind of issue with it. My optimism paid off!

Oh, that false equivalency was part and parcel of fact-checking all along. That's why I'm so forthright and confrontational about it - sometimes to my own detriment, but I do try to own up and fix it when I go over the top. vox.com/2019/1/9/18175…
That's why I was so keen to fact-check this speech last night. I don't know many people who are anti-disinformation journalists with years of experience on the border as well.

I am posting this for Igor, who is one of the frontline Guardians at the #border. They have shut off the internet connection for all the Guardians except me. -SR

1) Yesterday, at the border, I was threatened by several National Guards and BW agent’s. They told me they would send
me to jail if my team and if I didn’t back off and stop trying to help the migrants. Of course they don’t have the authority to do that, however, John Bolton is in charge of much that is going on at the border and he wants to silence us. His goal is to cause disarray and division
so that Donald calls for a mandatory shut down of ALL borders and a travel ban on agents leaving America at all. itnessed a little girl and her young mother, early 20s, being beaten yesterday by #ICE agents. They then took the mother away from the daughter and separated them.

It's been 20 days since Q last spoke to us & there's been a lot of speculation as to whether or not we were being left to stand on our own. Last night, Q showed in full form & on fire. Settle, there's a story to be told.

From Sea to Shining Sea, Q is letting us know we're about to learn what Sessions has been doing quietly behind the scenes from the beginning. Something BIG is about to happen and as Q often says, #TrustSessions

In order to understand the story, first we need to understand 38 US Code Section 519 - Supervision of Litigation. Here, we find Sessions, and ONLY Sessions shall supervise ALL litigation unless otherwise authorized by law.
