It's the third day of U.S. led strikes in Syria, and in London, British lawmakers have just decided to join the fight not in Syria, but in Iraq...why is Parliament ok with joining the fight in Iraq...but not Syria?

This week Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday that he would be stepping down. Here'sPresident Obama making the official announcement yesterday.

What do you think Holder will be most remembered for? 

Holder travelled to Ferguson, Missouri after unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed by police and Holder and spoke to Brown's family. The AG also opened up two federal investigations into the shootings. Will those investigation will lose steam now that Holder is leaving? 

And this week Ferguson's chief of police Thomas Jackson issued a videotaped apology to Brown's family and to the protestors.
