This was a wild, beautiful, unpleasant, very-American, brilliant, poignant film.

Opinion | What MAGA Sees in the Minnesota Mirror
Protests make MAGA mad. Journalism makes MAGA mad. Accountability makes MAGA mad. And the anger keeps building until a single sentence starts to spread across the length and breadth of Trump’s base: “Invoke the Insurrection Act.” -- @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

Opinion | ‘Kristi Noem Needs to Go.’ Three Columnists on ICE in Minneapolis.
Take off masks. End immunities. Limit jurisdiction. Restrain tactics. All of this can be done through legislation without inhibiting humane immigration enforcement. And if it’s done correctly, legislative reform can lead to greater accountability across the whole of government. - David French

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Anyone who’s working tirelessly to try to get survivors of abuse to not talk about what happened to them is not one of the good guys.
Elizabeth Philips and Shawn Ryan discuss the lengths that many will go to in order to try to wickedly silence survivors in this episode:

My favorite thing about kids is how they definitely, 100%, want that thing you are eating, even if there's not much of it. Until you give it to them and make yourself a different, less appetizing food and then they decide they aren't hungry.

Israel banned World Vision from Gaza for its alleged connection to Hamas. World Vision must come clean.
Israel’s Gaza ban on World Vision revives long-standing allegations the Christian aid group failed to confront evidence of Hamas funding.
Remember in 2023, when I raised alarms about World Vision's ties to terror?
Israel is suspending the multi-billion-dollar humanitarian Christian agency from operating in Gaza, bc it believes the organization has been compromised by Hamas.
