Lots of talk today about the "Zero Units" in Afghanistan. @JackMurphyRGR and I wrote about them in our article for @TheHighSideNews about JSOC's Omega teams -- Zeroed Out: How JSOC’s Omega teams enabled the CIA’s Afghan militias. https://t.co/eTBNJwEafd
No Black mother should ever fear sending her son to a high school track meet only for him to lose his life to the prison system from a murder conviction.
there’s a German guy named Freddy here for the World Cup
as far as I can tell his meals on Monday were:
Waffle House at 1 AM
Wendy’s for lunch
Chili’s for dinner & NBA Finals Game 3
little does he know he just earned his citizenship, that was the secret meal combo to unlock it

According to Sean D. Naylor with The High Side, the pilot of the U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle shot down by a surface-to-air missile on April 3 over Iran, was also the pilot of one of the three F-15Es downed by a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet in a friendly fire incident in early March.
Life advice: The guy in a "fuck you" hat would almost certainly pull you out of a burning car if needed. Anybody wearing a shirt mentioning "love" or "kindness," meanwhile, might feign concern while watching you burn to death.

Great working with the outstanding @zachsdorfman on this story. He's one of the best intel reporters out there and a national security editor should snap him up ASAP.
Really extraordinary reporting by @NatashaBertrand et al. A few observations.
1. You don't appoint a former CIA Ground Branch bigwig ambassador to Mexico without serious escalatory intent. Likely functioning as on-the-ground covert operations general.
