142. Jensen then noticed collection of whiskey bottles and cigars on Patel’s desk. He asked if he was a collector. Patel then gave him two cigars, telling Jensen that they were “awesome” and that he has “gotta see this.” Patel explained that he used to produce his own brand of cigars, but they are not in production anymore. He then gave Jensen a third cigar but said that he should not smoke it because it was from President Trump’s inauguration. Jensen asked whether Patel was sure he wanted to gift Jensen a cigar of such significance for Patel, particularly since Jensen himself did not attend President Trump’s inauguration.

Opinion | This Is How an Autocrat Goes to War

Michelle Goldberg: “Not only has Congress not authorized such a war, but it has barely even debated it. The administration has not bothered to explain, either to Congress or the American people, why it might bomb Iran or what it hopes to achieve…This is how an autocracy goes to war.”

Morning thought: This is Public School Week! How do you lift up the amazing learning happening in your school?

Trump has made America a place of fear and disrespect.

Really. What did all y’all MAGA think he was going to do?
I have friends from other countries and they couldn’t be paid to come visit the U.S.A.
It’s embarrassing to be American right now.

I know it’s naïve to even suggest comparisons anymore, but can you imagine the FBI director in any other administration taking a luxury jet overseas to party at the Olympics while presumed assassins are being shot at the president’s house.

Trump Administration Will Collect Social Media Handles from Legal Immigrants and U.S. Citizens The new requirement poses serious threats to free speech and privacy rights.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.

Your gender/race shouldn’t be an extra hurdle to the ballot box.

The Save Act places such a hurdle to “solve” a non-existent “aliens voting!” problem

Democratic Senators, please hold the line against the bill. Voters are watching.

Well then I expect no bitching when the lower courts are like “yep, we’re gonna do refunds”
