The Spokane airport (GEG) tells me due to the airport’s established First Amendment Policy, it is unable to accommodate the request to post Secretary Noem’s video on the Airport’s owned monitor located in the public space of the Airport’s Terminal building.

I just spoke to the Washington State Majority Floor Leader, Monica Stonier—

She tells me there was damage/vandalism done to the state capital.

Motive/political leaning unclear.

But the suspect had a general frustration — the frustration is not clear currently.

The president also announced that we will have a “golden dome,” similar to Israel’s iron dome, he says Canada is interested in being a part of it.

The President has announced that The Space Command HQ will move to Huntsville, Alabama.

The president is now taking questions about him being “dead,” he said he was unaware of the conversation online.

Pool update regarding the presidents announcement —

“rather than allowing limited resources to be used for federal immigration enforcement. Protecting hardworking Washingtonians who are abiding by our state laws and keeping families together reflect our values as a state.” @GovBobFerguson D-WA

“The Keep Washington Working Act is an important law that helps protect Washington families in the face of this assault. The Keep Washington Working Act requires our state and local law enforcement to focus on keeping Washingtonians safe,”

“I will share a more detailed response to AG Bondi on Tuesday. That said, Washington state has no intention of changing our values in the face of threats from the Trump administration.  The federal government’s relentless targeting of law-abiding immigrants is wrong.”

NOW: Attorney General Pam Bondi has sent @GovBobFerguson ordering him to end sanctuary policy and cooperate with ICE.

Governor Greg Gianforte: “Susan and I join Yellowstone County in mourning the tragic loss of County Commissioner John Ostlund, who served his community for years. Please join us in praying for his loved ones during this difficult time.”

Congressman Troy Downing texted me: “The Commissioner was a good man. My heart is heavy for his wife and his family.”

We have learned via friends that Yellowstone County Commissioner John Ostlund has died in that crash.

FAA confirmed via phone, Billings Logan couldn’t confirm flight plan.

He served the county for 20 years starting in 2002.
