Bovino confirmed today on-air with Bash that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are back on the streets. No psych eval, no mental health assessment, no paid leave.

The Darkest Thread in the Epstein E-mails
Donald Trump occupies a kind of negative space in the available files, which run an enervating gamut from the inane to the depraved.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

I adore @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social’s use of the word “Apparatchiks.” In Chicago, we’d say boot-lickin’ flunky, Yes Men lackeys, sycophant suckas or toadies. I respect and appreciate his restraint.

Opinion | ICE is clearly out of control. This week the Senate can actually do something about it.
Alex Pretti's shooting in Minneapolis turned Senate Democrats against ICE and DHS funding at a pivotal moment, with another shutdown looming.

The lawsuit was filed after the BCA said it was blocked from accessing the shooting scene on Saturday to collect evidence, despite having a search warrant giving them authority to do so.

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Well, uh, no. It was founded on the separation of church and state and the principle of “The Rule of Law,” not “law enforcement.” //(Saying it louder, and repeating it endlessly, don’t make it true Pam.)
