Reporter: Have you called Gov. Tim Waltz? Trump: “I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I’m not calling. He’s a mess. Why would I call him? The guy doesn’t have a clue. Why waste my time?” Imagine refusing to call a governor during a nat’l emergency. This #BlueSky #MedDky #NewsSky

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Padilla gave this speech on the floor pretty much as the news of Brad Lander's arrest in New York was breaking. Two Democratic lawmakers tackled and handcuffed by federal law enforcement in the span of a week.

I was today years old when I learned that the Mission Impossible theme is "M.I." in Morse code. "The Morse code for "M.I." is represented by two dashes followed by two dots: --.. This pattern corresponds to the rhythm of the "Mission: Impossible" theme, which was composed by Lalo Schifrin."
