BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Peace officers have a duty to preserve life. Part of that responsibility is training officers proper use of force and tactics. Anyone that starts their day looking for a fight will surely find one. In this case the fight is with the American public. This is a rouge agency with no leadership.

Minnesota Could Prosecute the ICE Shooter. Trump Can’t Pardon Him. Shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, city leaders began looking into whether the officer had violated state criminal law.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

This is correct, each state defines who is a "peace officer" and powers given to such. Special agents often have some powers given by the state. Border patrol officers usually have little to none.

Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

"if we want to use DAC to limit overall warming to 1.5oC, while emitting enough to reach 2.5oC, DAC would need to use something like 30% of all electricity consumed over the next 80 years"

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.

Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.

However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.

Senate GOP eyes funding bill with Jan. 30 end date Senate Republicans have largely coalesced around the end of January as their new government funding expiration date, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter who were granted anonymity to share information about ongoing negotiations. Republicans are tentatively looking at a continuing resolution that would run until Jan. 30, which was a topic of discussion during a closed-door conference meeting Friday as members of both parties look for a path toward ending the government shutdown. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said that while Senate Republicans had mostly gelled around the date, there were still conflicting feelings within the conference and conversations would continue. The end date is longer than what appropriators had hoped for: They were pushing for a deadline in December to keep pressure on lawmakers to quickly reach a larger, full-year funding deal. But House and Senate GOP leaders have been privately pushing for more time and were viewed as most likely to settle on a January date. Notably, the Jan. 30 timeline is one of the better options for House GOP leaders at this point, given that some fiscal hard-liners, who want to keep government programs running at flat funding levels, are pushing for a stopgap into November of next year. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins and fellow appropriators met Friday afternoon to discuss finalizing a package of three funding bills that could ride alongside a continuing resolution for remaining agencies. “Susan is gonna finish this off soon,” Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) said. He added, though, that Democrats are “dragging their feet” to close out any agreement to reopen the government. Mullin accused Democrats of moving the goalposts in their funding talks, including in their offer Friday to vote on a three-bill “minibus” and a stopgap funding patch alongside a one-year extension of expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. “It’s an absolute non-starter,” Mullin said of their demands.

First day of 2025 over 84,000 megawatts in Texas/ERCOT.

Days like today would have been very expensive in years past. But today, with renewables meeting ~40% of peak demand, there's an extra 20,000 megawatts of capacity available and wholesale prices are low. #txenergy #txlege
