This is how Trump does everything. Reporting from reliable sources says he’s going to do something outrageous/ridiculous. He immediately claims it’s fake news. Then a few days or weeks later he does exactly what was originally reported.

Just a reminder that if Pam Bondi resigns, the next attorney general will *also* not release any list because the AG doesn’t hold the power, Trump does. And it’s clearly *him* who wants this to go away. Don’t delude yourself into thinking the buck stop with anyone other than Trump.

I’ll say it again. Our diversity is our strength. Keeping the “foreign” students out will make us less competitive and weaker as a result.

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

Dame Daphne Sheldrick used to say that you could tell if an elephant would survive by the fire in their eyes. Mayan had that fire — even when everything else seemed stacked against him. Today, more than seven years on from his rescue, Mayan stands tall and strong: www.swt.bio/mayan

A win! The U.S. Institute of Peace retook control of its headquarters today just two days after a federal judge ruled that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency illegally fired its board and staff.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Allow me to suggest that if the actual Pope, the head of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, one of the most conservative entities in existence, is way too far left for you, you might need to reconsider your place on the political spectrum.

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.
Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.
I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it NEVER should've abducted Kilmar, yet it continues to defy a court order to facilitate his return.
Trump claims there's nothing he can do. But as I wrote to him today, the VP of El Salvador told me explicitly — the ball is in Trump's court:
