According to The Atlantic, Greg Bovino has been stripped of his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large.” He’s being reassigned back to his previous post in El Centro, California, where officials expect he will retire in the near future.

WTF is she talking about? Our country opposed the creation of a national police force into the 20th century, largely for the reasons we are seeing now. Congress didn’t even give the FBI arrest powers or the ability to carry firearms until 1934 (it was created in 1908)
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

A year ago, we stood outside SSA, protesting DOGE's access for just this reason. The Trump Admin denied it. Once again, the truth comes out: they lied.
Meanwhile, DOGE's haphazard firings & disruptions have made life harder for millions of Americans who rely on Social Security.

"Trump’s aides know if the changes they propose were actually turned into law, it'd be a political disaster. Which is how we get what we got: A plan that's not a plan, released so they can say they have a plan but not actually do anything. And that’s just fine with Trump." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.
