CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating.

If you’re going to give people a lecture alongside giving them the news, at least do it with moral clarity and not some finger to the wind bullshit.

The most disturbing presidential press conference I have ever seen.

(First 3/4ths before paywall.)
‘Blind Into Caracas’
Less than 24 hours in, members of the Trump team are celebrating victory. None of them seem to have wondered what happens a day, a month, a decade from now.

Fascinating insights from @wsj.com re how Putin has manipulated Trump and Witkoff. U.S. billionaires who know nothing of Russia are easy marks for the wily former KGB officer. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

This is the ICE thug who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on public property (the sidewalk) for “trespassing.”

Make him famous because “just following orders” isn’t an excuse for violating the U.S. Constitution.

PSSSST: Please pass this along. As many eyes as possible!
I'm seeing a lot of talk about the importance of candidate recruitment...

Here's a thread of some REALLY WILD instances of elections going unopposed that I've reported in the past, to show you how big a trend this is.

Something else to thank EM for.

"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."

Pritzker and AOC have both shown a consistent awareness that they know what time it is. Would love to see the rest of the party follow their lead.

It's a very thin line between what Elizabeth Holmes did and what Musk has spent a decade doing...
Again, still, always: in an even halfway functional country this guy would be in prison for fraud, he's on an earnings call telling people outright lies about what his company is going to do
Musk says Tesla will manufacture several thousand Optimus robots that will be "doing useful things by the end of the year," adding that it won't be long before "we're making 100 million of these things a year"
