Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

What exactly is the point of having a Congress if it’s going to be run by spineless sycophants whose only function is to let America’s most special little boy do whatever he wants.
Q: You talked about the Hudson River Tunnel in NYC. Is the funding terminated?
TRUMP: Right now there is no funding. Because it's up to me

Fox says Gavin Newsom needs to stop with "the Twitter thing" and that he is making a fool of himself with his unserious all-caps posts
Perino: You have to stop at with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it… He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.

NOAA’s office of Oceanic Atmospheric Research has had IT and other support contracts canceled in the last day or so that will fundamentally affect its operation. One source there said “It will seriously hurt our ability to improve weather forecasting and climate projections.”

This is such a savvy move by Judge Ho. It’s not just that Clement has impeccable (conservative) credentials; he was the Solicitor General from 2004–08, and even Acting AG briefly, so he can participate with quite a bit of perspective as to the proper role of the Department of Justice.
