My fear is that it's going to happen in the middle of the night and there will be several hours when I'm sleeping and have no idea it's happened already

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

It would be better if it were outlawed entirely, but if we have to allow sports betting, I’m really happy that Washington requires it to happen in-person at a casino, instead of allowing it online. It is absolutely essential that we maintain that law.

This is gross. Make it so people have to go to Vegas or Atlantic City to gamble. Don't just let people bet on their phones. (This was a lesson from Jerome Skolnick, my law school criminology professor.)

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

In Midtown, where one of Andrew Cuomo's staffers is holding a parking spot for him in front of the polling site he's soon expected to vote at. Cuomo is registered to vote a few blocks from here, but still driving over.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

HASSAN: Since you testified that Americans don't pay the president's tariffs, will the Treasury reimburse this New Hampshire small business for the tariffs they paid to the government? BESSENT: I think we have to look in the aggregate

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

The Trump White House is struggling to hire senior advisers for Pete Hegseth. At least three people have turned down potential roles. Top Defense Department jobs are normally considered prestigious and typically attract multiple qualified candidates.

SEWELL: The last question that I was asked to ask you is when will hit the debt ceiling? BESSENT: I want to congratulate you. You have a very sophisticated constituency to ask questions like this SEWELL: With all due respect, just because you're poor doesn't mean you're ignorant
