You really really REALLY have to read the whole thing.

“.. Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don’t trust and have fired employees—in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane ..”

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

Mayor Frey on Tom Homan saying DHS had "some issues" in Minneapolis: "'Issues' would be certainly the understatement of the century. These are people that should be alive today. Alex and Renee were standing up for their neighbors. Constitutionally protected activity was taking place."

Finally.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

I truly believe this is all going to come back to them as karma.

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?

Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.

Minnesota’s economy runs on the strength of our small businesses.

I’m proposing $10 million in direct relief to help businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge stabilize, protect jobs, and get back on solid footing.

Americans With Higher Incomes Are Starting to Fall Behind on Payments Rising debt levels and more missed payments pushed a financial stress gauge to its highest level ever.

We are in a K-shaped economy, the rich are holding up what the lower incomes are drowning in. Now the lower rung of the elite ladder is weakening, with six figure earners taking on more debt. Stress rises, rung by rung. This is how the downfall begins. Not with a bang, but with a crack.

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

We should negotiate with Senile Satan: anywhere he wants to put his name, “Epstein” goes right next to it. His name is mud.

Judge Leon slaps Hegseth on the notion of punishing retired military for speaking out against Trump.

"Rather than trying to shrink the First Amendment liberties of retired service members, Secretary Hegseth and his fellow Defendants might reflect and be grateful for the wisdom and expertise..."

Gabbard Whistleblower Complaint Based on Intercepted Conversation About Jared Kushner The substance of the conversation, which covered in part issues related to Iran, isn’t known.

Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Lotta meta-discourse this week about economics, the role of economists, who's paying attention, what they think of us, and if we're useful, etc.
