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.

Tell him, Nancy!

The dissent in Carroll v. Trump denial of en banc in the Second Circuit is bonkers. It was written by Federalist Society Judge Menashi. law.justia.com/cases/federa... ⚖️

We need a lot of string to get out of this labyrinth…

Agreed. I wrote a whole book about this called “Political Brands” play.google.com/store/books/... #booksky #iamwriting #beans

“.. ‘I was thinking about our country, and what’s happening, and just turning it over in my mind.’ .. And then: ‘I wrote it, and I said, ‘That’s true.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/b...

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

To be clear I did not buy any. But now I’m intrigued. #selena #oreos

"I have never seen a record where racial discrimination by the government is so palpable... Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" Judge Young (Reagan appointee) ruling in our favor against Trump research cuts. Read more of the Judge's fiery language: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/breaking-n...

Maybe this is generational. But when I was a kid everyone’s address was in the local phone book. Most public libraries had phone books from other cites so I could find people from across the country too. Most people didn’t use this information for malice.
