"Jen, if I want to add a bathroom to my house that I'm sitting in right here, I gotta get 16 permits." James Carville wonders at how Donald Trump was able to arbitrarily wreck the White House.

"It seems like they ought to be held responsible for breaking local and state laws." Illinois Governor JB Pritzker talks with Jen Psaki about the possibility of prosecuting ICE agents who break the law.

. @preetbharara.bsky.social takes a wider view on Donald Trump's weaponization of the DOJ: "Do people really think it ends at the end of the list that Trump has put out so far? What do you think happens when Trump runs out of Democrats?"

. @repdangoldman.bsky.social to DOJ prosecutors: "You have to stand up for your oath of office. You have to stand up for the Constitution. It is daunting. You may get fired. But I promise you, the legal profession will reward you for doing the right thing."
