Frey: "Obviously there's progress in that they are leaving right now, but as far as some deal was struck to get them out -- the answer is no. I think what you saw is a federal govt and administration that thought they were going to break the people of Minneapolis down."

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

The ICE budget that Republicans passed into law does not reflect the values of Minnesota or of America. The $75 billion extra that Republicans gave ICE could have funded three full years of health care tax credits to lower costs for millions of Americans.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.
That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:
