Just flagging that the two Trump admin staffers now running Oval Office operations who were allegedly involved in mishandling classified documents last term also got $20k and $45k in cash gifts from Trump last year.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

1. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other Democratic AGs had Paramount and the Ellisons over a barrel. They had secured a restraining order against the merger with Paramount and their negotiating position was about to get even stronger. Then, Bonta threw in the towel.

Just a reminder to any senator saying Don Jr. is not selling access to the presidency: Don Jr. started a private club called Executive Branch within months of Trump retaking office, with appearances by Trump cabinet members. How much more obvious does it need to get?

Stay tuned for more on this from mainstream reporting hopefully later today, but Bob's got the gist of it; last week, it appears that ICE began disappearing people from the Online Detainee Locator System the moment they get a final order of removal. Yes, this is as deeply screwed up as it sounds.

Today, I attended a memorial mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, led by Archbishop Ronald A. Hicks, in honor of those who died on 9/11.

25 years ago, we bore witness to unimaginable suffering. But New Yorkers met that moment with a spirit of love, sacrifice, and solidarity that guided us forward.

As we remember those we lost, let us continue to take refuge in one another. Let us recommit to the work of building a better city — one that is worthy of the legacy they left.
