Also: Qatar, for whom Trump issued an executive order "assuring the security of the state of Qatar" (so if they get attacked, we have to defend them)?

Painful to hear the fear in her voice as she says, "let them know." And as others have noted, this seems to violate Judge Ellis's order issued just yesterday about arresting journalists & also about unnecessary physical force. (See 1(a) and 1(h) of order). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Good morning from Greenbelt, Md.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys will argue in federal court for his release from immigration detention. Now feds want to send Abrego to Ghana.

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I donโ€™t think anybody around is going to do it bc theyโ€™re benefiting from his dementia"

Donald Trump Jr poses in front of a dark beige background. He is wearing a dark suit & tie with a US flag pin. His eyes appear to be glassy and narrow, seemingly stoned out of his mind or high as a kite (as he often appears in public).
Text above his image says, โ€œDonny Jr made $450 million this year. He attended only 2 board meetingsโ€

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Text below the photo says, โ€œReverend David Black, pastor of the Chicago Presbyterian Church invited ICE agents to pray with him. Instead, they laughed and shot him repeatedly at close range with pepper balls. They shot him in the head and he collapsed to the ground, but they continued to laugh & shoot him.

More reporting about how that ICE raid in South Shore might have been as much about evicting all the residents of the building for Wells Fargo as it was to kidnap migrants without due process.
