remember what JD Vance said of the ICE agents that arrested this little boy: “what did you expect them to do?”
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

The idea behind community-school programs is that “students can’t succeed academically if they’re struggling at home”—and though the effort won’t be a “great equalizer,” it could help to close a gap, Annie Lowrey argues:
Closing the Gap in American Schools
Kids will struggle to learn if they’re hungry or scared at home.

Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.
Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

The stunning art trove hidden in a D.C. building marked by Trump for disposal
Packed with frescoes, paintings and reliefs, the federal government’s Cohen Building has been called “the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal.” Advocates fear these works could be at risk.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

I have always wanted a president who dictates what is and isn't broadcast on television. Maybe we should only have two broadcast outlets to simplify: Fox and CBS.

The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Members of Congress have a clear, spelled out legal right under the existing DHS funding bill to be allowed into these facilities without this notice.
So if Congress is going to keep funding DHS, there must be meaningful restraints to rein in this brazen lawlessness.
