"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but… “DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide” …sure did the trick

JUST IN: U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Border Patrol agent Charles Exum, who shot Chicago's Marimar Martinez, "was placed on administrative leave":

A small but robust low pressure center spinning just west of San Francisco is generating an impressive band of heavy rain & isolated thunderstorms. Given unusually warm coastal ocean, would not be surprised if some enhanced latent heat fluxes are "juicing up" this feature. #CAwx

Honestly one of the coolest scientific facilities I've ever seen. They have a massive command center set up, crazy amounts of data that's looped in with CalFire and others, and smart ways (AI) to detect wildfires to get resources there asap.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

HUGE: last night we finally defeated Republicans' rule blocking votes on Trump's tariffs. Our first vote to end his tariffs -on Canada- just PASSED. The vote was 219-211; I voted YES. It goes to the Senate, which previously passed similar legislation. More tariff votes to come.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

The Department of Justice and the FBI are not fully complying with the release of the Epstein files as mandated by law. When I asked Pam Bondi about the lack of transparency, AG Bondi responded with theatrics and regurgitated White House talking points.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is lying to Congress. There have been hundreds of citizens detained by immigration agents. Director Lyons is once again reminding us that ICE is not compatible with our democracy. This lawless agency must be dismantled immediately.

It's all of them

Rep. Balint, granddaughter of a Holocaust victim, walked out after Pam Bondi’s disgusting suggestion that Balint was antisemitic. Bondi’s reaction: SHE LAUGHED.

Call me a stickler, but I do not think former Supreme Court clerks who are now practicing lawyers with *multiple cases* pending before the Court should be publishing fawning op-eds about how “kind, humble, thoughtful and selfless” their old boss is

Moments ago: Marimar Martinez and her attorneys held a press conference in Chicago, addressing materials released yesterday that shed new light on her shooting by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum in October. Martinez's attys say they plan to seek millions in damages in follow-up legal action.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan. Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings. Why is he funding a Democrat? www.thenerdreich.com/palantir-for...

If it was just a routine accident, the ICE agent wasn't involved in his official duties as a federal agent. Which would mean no supremacy clause immunity. Whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor turns one what "very bad" means: www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

NEW: Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, a 36-year-old LA protester, spent six months in jail accused of assaulting a federal officer with a *cloth hat.* A judge tossed out the DOJ’s case, accusing govt of acting in “bad faith” and engaging in “prosecutorial harassment“ that could “chill lawful protest”

This was Mike Johnson's third failed rule vote of the 119th Congress, bringing him closer to tying the modern era record for rule failure in the House. Which is currently held by... Mike Johnson, from the 118th Congress

Final result in OK is 64-36 GOP win *BUT* this was a Trump+58 seat, so that's a 29-point overperformance for Dems. Also two smaller overperformances in deep-blue VA districts—but it's usually hard to run up the score in a lopsided district. Our Big Board: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
