Dozens gathered at a vigil in north Minneapolis Monday to remember two brothers shot and killed last week. According to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, 23-year-old Akwame Stewart and 14-year-old Xavier Barnett were both killed by a cousin.

Noem said ICE agents "are facing a serious and escalating threat as a result of deliberate mischaracterizations of their heroic work and rhetoric that demonizes our law enforcement.”

Sharp: “This is a patient who was in active psychosis without decision-making capacity...who cannot advocate for themselves. Our understanding is that this is someone who didn't even know who they are, where they are, or even what ICE was in the moment that they were discharged.”
Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is up, pressing Noem on all the constitutional violations she's overseen in Minnesota.
She gets Noem to give a # of federal immigration enforcement officers still in the state: close to 650, she says.
So not down to 150, which Homan said he would do weeks ago.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
Since it seems like we're on newspaper opinion section discourse again: They are a vestigial limb of a time that's long over. Opinion is *everywhere* now, the water we all swim in. And, frankly, we've become so media illiterate now that opinion's existence does lasting harm to the reporting work.
(My) pictures never do it justice. But don't miss out on tonight's sunset, Minneapolis.

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in
“Almost all of the most viral posts reviewed by WIRED on Saturday came from accounts with blue check marks, meaning they…could be eligible to earn money based on how much engagement their posts generate, even if the content is false.”

The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.
