I think Canada can challenge the US win. According to The Athletic, Jack Hughes, who scored the winner, is 15 feet tall. Unfair.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Reprehensible and yet on brand for Gianni and FIFA

Once great paper. What a clown.

There’s the old allegory where all the mice get together &say “something has to be done about this cat, he’s killing so many of us.”

& a younger mouse says, “What if we put a bell on the cat?” & everyone thinks that’s a great idea.

& one of the older mice says, “Which one of us will put it there?”

Really pathetic. Good lord.

Good summary of how Montgomery County's housing policy (and economic future) is circling the drain. One point on the the article: tax abatements are useful tool when targeted and efficient. The overrides on the CE's vetoes were the right move.

Damn, this language is straight out of the 1898 Wilmington coup.

Trump posts discredited conspiracy theories following seizure of 2020 ballots in Georgia In the hours after FBI agents in Georgia seized 2020 election ballots, President Trump posted a series of thoroughly discredited conspiracy theories about the election.

Jonathan Karl: This stuff is truly crazy ... claims that Italian spy satellites ... the CIA ... the FBI ... China all conspired tried to steal the 2020 election. Oh, and Obama tried to overthrow the government he led in 2016. In the hours after FBI agents seized 2020 election ballots

It's impressively bad

‘Catastrophic’ levels of pollutants spilled into Potomac River Environmental groups are calling the Jan. 19 break in the Potomac Interceptor, a major sewer pipe, catastrophic for the Potomac River.

Collapsed pipeline spilled ‘catastrophic’ levels of pollutants into Potomac River, environmental group says

The opposition to SB36, The Starter and Silver Homes Act, here in Maryland, Mike, is just another example. A very good bill that could move the needle.

Once again, opposing housing near you is a fundamentally conservative proposition, and a lot of people on the broader left who share the thoughts in this video need to take some inventory of themselves.

What do they teach at Wharton

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Trump’s censors hit Grand Canyon and 16 other national parks A new wave of takedown orders from Trump officials targets signs about climate and Native Americans at several national parks, including Grand Canyon, Big Bend and Glacier.

"At Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana, exhibit text that described the United States being “hungry for gold and land” and breaking promises to Native Americans was ordered changed or removed." #NationalParks 🗃️ www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Bellingcat is gold standard. Read entire thread

"A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man BEFORE THE FIRST shot was fired."

"At least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground."

Most descriptions of the origins of the Ku Klux Klan state that it started out as a "social club" before it transformed into a terrorist organization. Social club for what? It reminds me of people who argue that the Confederacy was fighting for states' rights. States' rights for what exactly?

Is the GAO the Next Battlefield in the Fight for Separation of Powers? The expiration of the comptroller general’s term is an opportunity for Congress to reassert itself, or retreat further.
