[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Wow. Even DHS doesn't say the driver tried to hit their agents. They shot and killed a father in front of his wife and child simply because he drove away.

[Arelis R. Hernández @arelisrhdz]

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The men arrested alongside Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, including his brother, are contesting DHS account of the fatal shooting, say he didn’t ram any ICE officers.

That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head.

The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy.

Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare.

When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker.

He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely.

Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases.

Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration.

Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.

[Jerry O'Connell @MrJerryOC]

This is a total bummer. I went to San Antonio, for Game 1, ALONE, in a lightweight-Knicks-collared-shirt and was treated with absolute kindness. Really hope @NYCMayor responds appropriately.

Man, this one hits hard. Stacey King wasn’t just a champion who stood next to Jordan on those three title teams — he became the voice of the Bulls for a whole generation of fans. His energy, those wild calls, the way he made every game feel like a story… Chicago basketball won’t sound the same without him. Gone way too soon at 59. Rest in peace, Stacey. You brought so much joy to the game. #RIPStaceyKing

[Will Gottlieb @Will_Gottlieb]

Absolutely tragic. Stacey was one of the best broadcasters in the game and an incredibly kind person. Watching the Bulls will not be the same without him on the call.

We hereby offer Mr. Wembanyama tickets to our Sunday, June 7 screening of Bernardo Bertolucci's stunning five-and-a-half hour epic 1900 when he is in the city later this week on a work-related trip...

Haitian asylum seeker Emmanuel Damas, 56, died at a Scottsdale, AZ hospital Monday, while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after struggling to receive timely care for a worsening toothache: @TucsonStar https://t.co/fbhEyO3jmW

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: https://t.co/dNBRWAiv0b

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

🚨 Andrew Schulz Turns on Trump, Says He’s ‘Completely Shredding’ the Constitution

“When I saw these last few weeks in Minnesota, I didn't think it was possible to happen in the United States of America.”

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @JoaquinCastrotx for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.

Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

If they lie like this about things caught on video for everyone to see, imagine what is happening in the detention centers and the ICE interactions that are not caught on video

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

You are defending the open killing of everyday Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights.

First, the mother of a 6 year old child. Now, an ICU nurse to veterans. Both shot at nearly point blank range.

All without reflection or remorse. People will not forget this.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No new funding.

Kristi Noem must RESIGN.

Greg Bovino must be FIRED.

Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals.

Send the border patrol back to the border.

End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling.

End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda.

Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field.

INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

[Rachael Bedard @RBMD1982]

Shut down the government if you have to until:

Masks off
Prosecutions/independent prosecutors
Out of MN now
No funding increase
Miller/Noem out

Enough is enough.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
