If the investigation is out of MN it means it is run by the very same HSI agents who have been lying over and over to judges. If they got a warrant in DC anyway, it's all the more problematic.

A new national Fox News poll finds Trump's approval rating at 36%. That's his lowest ever in a Fox News poll over both his terms. And Democrats with a 54/45 lead among registered voters on a generic ballot, strongest of the year.
New Fox poll of House preference. Dems lead 54/45 in new poll. 51/44 in September. 53/46 in July. 52/47 in April. 52/46 in January.

Just in: Prosecutors have notified the 9/11 families that they will not appeal this decision. "An appeal could jeopardize the hard-earned June 5, 2028 trial date or result in the severance of one or more of the accused into separate trials," they wrote. For now it's a four-defendant capital case.

And the end of this, Rep. Harris says "thank her profusely." And that's the only part of this he gets right. Because the student journalist -- who's 100% right here -- provided an courageous opportunity to educate everybody about the First Amendment. They _should_ be thanking her profusely.

WSJ confirms that Trump did NOT give Guilfoyle a heads up before Katie Zacharia, in her first press conference, delivered the news. Not a great way to ensure Zacharia's success, but I'm happy for the spectacle. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
During a Tuesday morning prep session for his new press secretary Katie Zacharia’s first briefing at the White House, the president instructed Zacharia to tell the world that he was asking Guilfoyle to resign, people familiar with the matter said. Trump didn’t speak directly to Guilfoyle before making the decision, one of the people said.

“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” Zacharia told reporters on Tuesday. “She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”

Whatever it would cost to demolish Trump's vanity buildings, I'm thinking at least a chunk of it could be paid for by selling the rights to do the demo - starting with $5 for 3 swings of a sledgehammer. And by selling pieces of concrete and rebar to the MAGAs.

That's an interesting word choice!
INTRODUCTION 1. Under the First Amendment—and federal and state statutes that protect the rights enshrined in it—the government may not (a) ban the exercise of religion or (b) treat religious practice differently than it treats analogous secular activity.  Yet the Ste. Genevieve County Detention Center manages to commit both sins by imposing a visitation policy that prevents Catholic priests from meaningfully ministering to Catholic federal detainees housed there (while readily allowing exceptions to the policy for non-religious reasons).
