This is a good explainer 🧵
Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released.
But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway.
Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.

This is a sobering but timely warning that we all need to understand.
I’ve written a lot about democracy, but this may be the most important post I’ve shared here. It’s about the moment when political rhetoric stops being careless and becomes dangerous — when leaders start calling their own people “enemies.”
That moment is now.
That moment is now.
The Danger of Turning Americans into Enemies
In Minnesota, "Trump has redefined dissent not as a civic act, but as an enemy force," writes Andrew Weinstein.

Why was the ICE agent filming the encounter on his phone? Is that normal procedure? Does that not indicate he was distracted from his duty to keep the encounter from getting out of control?

Anyone in New Mexico purchasing ACA insurance for ‘26 via bewellnm? Are you able to make a payment? Bewell sends me to the insurance company to pay. The insurance company sends me to bewell. And obviously, no one knows exactly how much I should pay given confusion about subsidies. It’s a cluster.

Just looking over medical bills from a recent hospitalization and stunned to see that without insurance, it would’ve cost us $250,000 - which makes our $2500/mo increase in ACA premiums next year a bit more tolerable. I guess? Whatever it takes to keep Elon and Jeff and Peter obscenely rich. 🤯

Proud of New Mexico. Appalled at the United States.
Democrats fought to stop these hikes. Republicans guaranteed them. New Mexico won't let our families pay the price for Washington's failure. We're doing what Republicans refuse to do — protecting people's healthcare.

Trump’s change of heart maybe wasn’t a change of heart after all? 🤔🤦♂️
One House GOP lawmaker tells me the plan is to bring up the Epstein Files bill on Tuesday under 'suspension of the rules' - that means it would need a two-thirds majority to pass.

Was thrilled to see today that our 2026 ACA premium, which was first reported to us as being up 440% from the 2025 premium, is now only going to be up 51%, thanks entirely to the state of New Mexico stepping up with their own assistance. Nice when a gov’t still believes in helping its people. 💙
