I assume this was from this morning, as members are allowed to make short addresses from the House floor.

Would you believe me if I told you that this has been true of every President of the modern era?

Cleansing the timeline with this 2020 Lifetime romance where Mario Lopez played a sexy Colonel Sanders.

The work being done by reporters from @startribune.com shows the importance of local journalism.

Star-Tribune has been killing it

Watching my toddler son clutching his stuffed dog (he calls it Wolfy) as he got in the car to go to preschool hit differently this morning.

Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent. Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

Mr Balko below is an expert on the laws, training and practice governing police use of force.

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Sen. Klobuchar statement:

A reminder that you are free to look at a video online, decide what it means, and proclaim that to anyone who'll listen. The NYT, NPR, CNN and all other journalists can't do that, out of professional responsibility and their own vulnerability at this moment. Give the journalists time to work.

My very smart colleagues are doing excellent coverage of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. I would urge you to follow along with local sources familiar with the area and the residents here.

One thing that was really notable to me during Operation Midway Blitz (similar to what is now happening in Minneapolis), was how often officers pointed guns at civilians. A few examples that stood out to me...

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

Look, we gave it a shot, we did our best, but let's just admit to each other that its not working and cut our losses before things get even worse. It's now 2027.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Partisanship, though deplored by the Founders, was an inevitable result of the Constitution's design, just like a magnet instantly sorts iron filings to its poles. If all power goes to whoever gets 50% +1 votes, then people will form coalitions to get there.

They also did shoot and kill someone in Chicago blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/20/a...

This must be the fourth time I've reposted this, but: here's @vermontgmg.bsky.social on KQED last July, talking about what happens when a Federal law enforcement agency goes on a recruiting spree. www.iheart.com/podcast/1062...

Not only did I live for three wonderful years in Minneapolis (92-95), I lived about five blocks from this intersection, on Powderhorn Park. I'm so sorry for the good people in that great city.

Local TV news anchor and reporter in Denver

The first three seasons of BARRY each had perfect endings, and if they had stopped at any of those points it would have gone down as a superb series finale. I was not a big fan of the actual series finale.

Never mind all the charm and talent. That much of Isiah is always onscreen and utterly obvious. Instead, a last word to let everyone know what isn't evidenced on film: He was an even better person than he was an actor; a warm and gracious delight of a man. Goodbye, friend.

I first read about Mao's "War on Sparrows," aka the Four Pests Campaign, right before Trump's second inauguration and I think about it a lot. medium.com/@mattbianca/...

Really interesting edition of The Daily today, on what happens now in Venezuela, including the sad failure of the most popular opposition leader there to sufficiently please President Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/p...

After Jan. 6, 2021, we sifted through thousands of videos taken by Parler users to create an immersive, first-person view of the Capitol riot as experienced by those who were there. Revisit our full archive, five years later:

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

The most unsubtle, heavy-handed claims made by pomo academic types have turned out to all be true. Gender is a relation of domination that requires constant, affirming witness. Capitalism will require extractive colonial relations. There’s no subtlety. Every day is like a 101 seminar at Oberlin.

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In "Chapter 2: Stop the Steal," we look at how false claims of a stolen election mobilized Trump supporters.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.
