1-year-old Amalia and her family were sent to Texas' Dilley immigration detention center, where they were detained for 60 days — joining families that have been held for durations that advocates say exceed the limits established by federal court rulings.

One year into President Trump’s second term, I talked with three leading grassroots organizers on the left about the lessons they learned this last year, political violence, and where they see their movement (and the Democratic Party) going forward.

Even if Republicans agree to each one of Democrats’ stipulations, what guarantee do Democrats have that immigration agents will follow through with new standards put in place?

Americans are holding their breath, waiting for any clue as to whether Alex’s killing will be treated as a possible mistake (a horrible or even criminal mistake) or an example of a state-sanctioned policy.

There’s a real question as to whether Alex Pretti’s killing will be remembered as a defining moment for civil liberties and the basic constitutional rights of protesters and Americans writ large.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Woah “The turbines spew nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, at an estimated rate of 1,200 to 2,000 tons a year — far more than the gas-fired power plant across the street”

Republican Tom Cole claims that he intervened and center in Norman will not lose its lease. But the building is still listed, along with hundreds of others, as a target of DOGE's cuts online.

[MaryAlice Parks @maryaliceparks]

Despite the deadly storms over the weekend, one of the core government facilities tracking severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, located right there in Norman, Oklahoma, is still listed on DOGE's website as a planned office closure.

[MaryAlice Parks @maryaliceparks]

The Storm Prediction Center, one of several entities housed at the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma, issues severe weather forecasts across the nation and identifies threat zones where dangerous thunderstorms and tornadoes could move through days in advance.

The agency's actions indicate a wholesale reorientation of the agency away from government support of renewable energy, carbon reduction programs and pollution regulations while also threaten to gut the government's past scientific findings at the core of most climate regulations

[ABC News @ABC]

Calling it the "biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history," the EPA rolled out sweeping moves Wednesday aimed at walking back environmental protections and eliminating a host of climate change regulations, some decades in the making. https://t.co/kGJGW1u3G9
