CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

While Russia complains about missiles with range to hit Moscow, Ukraine strikes Vladivostok. When someone talks about fears of escalation, remind them that Ukraine has been striking deep in Russia for years now. You don't hear about it, because they're hitting infrastructure - not civilian centers.
