Jonathan Ross fatally shot ICE protestor Renee Good in Minneapolis.

It's disgusting.

I'm just glad Bob Knight wasn't alive to see this.

This …

The Republican smear campaign against Renee Good is the lowest, skeeviest, most despicable lie I’ve encountered in 59 years on this planet. I don’t believe in hell; I wish I did. #JusticeForRenee

Just occurred to me that both Ross Martin and Don Ameche, stars of the Columbo episode "Suitable for Framing," are both in "Trading Places."

In a U.S. turned dangerously upside down, there is still the small delight of catching Timothy Carey on "Columbo."

Walking garbage.

Well, Congress, we officially live in an autocratic, paramilitary police state. Good job of sittin' ass. Pathetic.

From AP: The head of Minnesota’s state investigations agency (MBCA) said Thursday that the U.S. attorney’s office has barred it from taking part in the investigation into an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I've seen a video of the shots fired and I can say that the narrative (the ICE agents were in danger) is a garbage narrative. It's not true."

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

Don't forget for a moment that this happened because the president is targeting blue cities, and his rhetoric encourages violence against protesters practicing their rights under the Constitution.

Maybe Hilton can change its policy now.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Not a big "Stranger Things" fan, but my daughter is doing a good job of convincing me the show isn't quite over.

Seventy-five percent chance Maduro is pardoned in September. He must have money squirreled away for this.

Or we could make electric cars affordable and build mag-lev trains. Just a thought.

Just learned Mick Abrahams has left us. Sad news. Just watch a (good) Tull doc on YouTube the other day and he seemed like a delightful guy. And of course we have “This Was” and Blodwyn Pig, which remains the greatest band name of all time. RIP “Move on Alone” youtu.be/qIjqUFRvFWc

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

Shell game ... Washington Post: >>The Trump administration will repurpose $2.6 billion in military housing assistance to pay $1,776 “warrior dividend” bonuses to service members, according to a senior administration official.>>

... by Washington Post. Big difference against Trump administration SAYS it "views as a growing threat." Why is any reporter covering the White House taking these people at their word? At least protect the paper.

Written credulously ... >>Bondi has tasked the agency with using those files to draw up lists of Americans and foreigners to investigate as part of a campaign directed by President Donald Trump against what his administration views as a growing threat of political violence by the American left.>>
