Sometimes politics has a way of always reminding you you're nowhere near cynical enough.

Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.

No badge numbers, no names, hiding behind masks. This is Putin/Moscow goon squad stuff. Shameful.

A lot of folks want to argue for a future-world that doesn't yet exist, in which the Trump tariffs guide us to a perfect equilibrium for US growth. But the tariff plan announced yesterday does exist. We can read it. It does not make sense and is not defensible on its own terms.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

Attn all those Republicans who keep claiming, evidence notwithstanding, that Trump is actually a really big supporter of Ukraine:

"Donald Trump proposed one of the most deranged policies I have ever heard," says @chrislhayes.

“The idea makes as much sense as ripping up the entire interstate highway system and replacing it with canals."

When did “Welcome in” become a thing?

Whatever happened to just “Welcome.”
