Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Renee Good’s vehicle after an immigration agent fatally shot her, but Trump administration officials ordered them to stop investigating. About a dozen prosecutors have since resigned, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

I look forward to returning stateside this spring and summer for several performances of Adams' 'Nixon in China' (excerpts). It's a privilege to be diving back in to this crucial work, especially during today's political climate.

Nadine with Freddie… interesting pairing !
#LuisaMillerWSO: Sierra überragend, sehr gut Tagliavini. De Tommaso singt mir lit zu viel Kraft, keine Differenzierung. Inszenierung ist ein Desaster.

It is insanely cold and windy. My husband who lived in the city for 50 + years does not recall any storm of this magnitude.
Clara refused to be out for more than 5 minutes.
To compensate I just booked an extended weekend in Palm Springs, CA.

Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him.
This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.
