Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

An update to my January piece: why ICE is reportedly drawing down in Minneapolis...and why the absence of violence may be the real story. Sometimes the headline isn’t what exploded.

I remember when political scientists sounding the alarm about a Jan. 6-type event in ~October 2020 were ridiculed by "smart" pundits as radical leftists. One called an article in The Atlantic "too magazine-y." The good news is people seem to be taking 2026/28 much more seriously

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The police chief in a small Minnesota city intervened to prevent ICE agents from arresting a local woman who had been observing and recording them from her car, when they took her into custody.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

ICE murdered a man with disabilities by abducting his caregiver father at his annual check-in at an ICE field office and then trafficking him hundreds of miles away from his son. This is pure evil.
