Border Patrol agents continue to make arrests outside the Whipple building near Minneapolis where protesters have gathered. Didn't see the entire event, but I saw this woman yelling at agents after they made an arrest of someone near her before they arrested and dragged her away.

It's possible that Trump could lose four votes in Congress just this week.
Commentators have to stop describing these rebukes of Trump as rare. The Senate voted to roll back his tariffs. Both chambers delivered a historic rebuke on the Epstein files. The House is voting this week to undo part of his health care agenda and override two vetoes. His coalition is fraying.
NEWS: Senate votes 52-47 to advance a measure restricting Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela.
A rare warning shot from Congress to Trump as he dials up foreign rhetoric.
Voting YES: Democrats + Rand Paul, Collins, Murkowski, Young, Hawley.

Her microscopy is stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Her lab essentially brings a Hubble telescope inside the universe of tissues and cells so we can see not just cellular machinery but how it works.
Amazingly, she can show us the activity of lipid molecules:
