Yep, the shootings were clearly great politics for the White House just like the White House said.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

An NIH source tells me that after this story was published, agency leadership held an emergency meeting about Council approval and is looking for ways to speed up the pipeline.

"Better late than never?" the source says.
🚨 New from me: Grant review at more than half of NIH's institutes could be frozen by the end of the year.

That's because crucial NIH grant-review panels are slated to be empty at those institutes by Jan 2027.

A wonky bureaucratic problem with big implications.

A short 🧵
Exclusive: key NIH review panels due to lose all members by the end of 2026
Thirteen of the agency’s advisory councils, which must review grant applications before funding is awarded, are on track to have no voting members.

A bunch of Republican senators have issued statements of concern re: Alex Pretti's killing, including calling for an investigation.
The only action I've seen one of them take beyond concern tweets, however, is Rand Paul calling a public hearing for Feb. 12.
They hold all of the leverage.

pretty stunning
Wow: A top GOP candidate for governor in Minnesota just announced that he is dropping out from the race. *And* that he is leaving the Republican Party.

He blamed the GOP's "stated retribution on the citizens of our state."

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

John Roberts struck down the ACA’s Medicaid expansion as a 10A violation because the law was, as he called it, a “gun to the head” of the states who did not want to help their residents.

Now Trump’s putting *literal* guns to the heads of Minnesota’s residents to force their gov’t to betray them.
Carter turns to the voter roll demand, which they lost in the courts.

Per Carter, the government responds: "We don't care. We're going to put violence and chaos in the streets and we're going to force it with illegal conduct."

"If THAT doesn't violate the 10th Amendment...."

@davidkurtz.bsky.social: The administration's incendiary propagandizing not only "offers no accountability for what has happened, but guarantees more such incidents in an ever-escalating assertion of absolute power."
