We've got issues.
In the search for a missing teenage girl who fell into the water at Cape Kiwanda last weekend, two local fire and rescue workers got into trouble when their personal watercraft capsized in the surf. A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter rescued them in this video shot by a State Police officer's body camera. The search for the 17-year-old, Megan Owens of Marysville, Washington, continues.

Elizabeth Warren has an op-ed in The New York Times this week about how administrations affect federal agency rules, set priorities and take executive actions independent of Congress. Scary stuff if a right-winger ends up in the White House again. Continue reading
