The Washington Post reported that James McCrery III, the first architect of the White House ballroom, resigned after repeatedly warning that Trump was demanding designs that violated fire and safety codes. Trump rejected the architect’s concerns, saying flippantly: “I am the code.”

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Mkay. Here's the problem. People keep thinking he can't be held accountable. Practically, yes it's very difficult at the moment. But it won't be that way for ever. Trump is not immortal, the American people have a patience limit, and eventually something WILL give. Do not lose hope. Or we lose.

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional. Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

Knowledge is power. That power is useless without the wisdom to know how to wield it. And it doesn't matter how much power you gather, or gain. What matters is what you do with the power that you have.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in a news conference he has activated the state’s National Guard and said the federal government could “not be trusted to lead this investigation” of the shooting. Follow for live updates:

Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the incident, and Gov. Tim Walz provided few details.

True. I knew this. Geo-politically, the Arctic in the coming years is only going to grow more and more important as the ice melts, freeing up northern water passages for commercial shipping, possible resource gathering, etc. That's partly a reason why. That doesn't absolve the Trump admin at all..

ABC reports two Army battalions are on alert for possible deployment to Minnesota, a move only the president can authorize. At the same time, the governor has already activated the National Guard under state control.
