Russian bounties offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan are believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members, according to intelligence gleaned from U.S. military interrogations of captured militants in recent months.
Several people familiar with the matter said it was unclear exactly how many Americans or coalition troops from other countries may have been killed or targeted under the program. U.S. forces in Afghanistan suffered a total of 10 deaths from hostile gunfire or improvised bombs in 2018, and 16 in 2019. Two have been killed this year. In each of those years, several service members were also killed by what are known as “green on blue†hostile incidents by members of Afghan security forces, which are sometimes believed to have been infiltrated by the Taliban.

Anne just went to the hospital this morning. Couldn't get from the bedroom to the living room and by the time the EMTs got here she was pretty much non-responsive.
The majority opinion was penned by Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote that the majority "consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional."
He added later: "The evidence also shows that opposition to abortion played a significant role in some hospitals' decisions to deny admitting privileges."
The ruling continues a trend of Roberts siding with liberals in major cases. He previously has upheld the program allowing undocumented immigrants who came into the US as children to remain and sided with opinion that extended anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ workers.

The last opinion was the CFPB one. Basically affirms that the President can remove the head of the agency & that the clause in the CFPL that blocks it from happening is unconstitutional based on separation of powers.
UPDATE: INDOOR DINING WILL NO LONGER RESUME ON THURSDAY.
— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) June 29, 2020
We had planned to loosen restrictions this week. However, after #COVID19 spikes in other states driven by, in part, the return of indoor dining, we have decided to postpone indoor dining indefinitely.

Hello everyone. I'm mildly shocked that noted Trump boot fellater, Lenny Curry is going with a mask mandate. Considering that the convention is coming to town next month and none of those ding-dongs will mask up. I know they will insist that the rentboys they hire use condoms.
