When I was a baby White House reporter in the second Bush Administration, I worked in the White House booth with @terrymoranabc He was generous and inclusive as the senior reporter and exhibited remarkable calm during tense situations. I learned a lot from him. He is also a deeply well read and serious person - with good manners. I think you saw all that on display in this interview tonight. He handled this well.

When did “federal agents shouldn’t enter without a warrant” become a hot take? When did people start saying documenting court violations is partisan? It’s not. When reporting reality sounds like opinion, the goalposts have moved so far we’ve lost sight of the rules. This is the job of reporters: to tell you reality even when it’s hard to hear.

This former Capitol police officer is still telling the truth about January 6th. Today marks 5 years since a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress certified on Jan 6, 2021. More than 140 officers were injured and the building was breached for hours. House Democrats marked the day with a hearing, bringing in witnesses to describe what they experienced and what it meant. At the same time, a spokesperson for Speaker Mike Johnson now says that hanging a required plaque to hono

What You’re Not Being Told About Venezuela and Trump’s Policy of “Extractionism” Trump’s move against Venezuela isn’t about fighting drugs. And it’s not even just about oil. It’s about a new foreign policy doctrine — one I’m calling Extractionism. Corporate takeover as foreign policy. And here’s the thing: Trump’s team told us this was coming. It’s in their National Security Strategy from November. Most outlets ignored it. We didn’t. I break the whole thing down in this video — what the doctrine

Trump keeps threatening to take Greenland. So I wanted to lay out what economists and national security experts are warning could happen if he follows through. The risks aren’t theoretical. Europe is already preparing to respond. Right now, European leaders are giving diplomacy one last chance before Trump’s self-imposed February 1 deadline. They’re hoping the warning is enough to stop this. But they’re also getting ready to act. If the U.S. moves forward, Europe could raise costs on American co

This is an unprecedented moment in NATO’s 75 year history that requires understanding what’s at stake. Germany’s Foreign Minister told reporters that European NATO allies would step in and defend Denmark if the U.S. attacks the country. Denmark’s Prime Minister issued a warning: “If the United States attacks another NATO country, everything stops.” This scenario represents a fundamental contradiction: Trump is threatening an action that would violate NATO’s core principles—the same alliance Trum

This video of an ICE agent shooting and killing a woman in Minneapolis today was taken by a witness at the scene and posted by CNN. After the video ends, an observer shouts “murder!” There are disputes online about what the footage shows. Even if an officer stepped in front of the car for a moment — and that’s being debated — it strains credulity to conclude lethal force was the only way to stop her vehicle. This exposes the dangers of deploying large teams of newly recruited ICE agents with que

We are at a dangerous moment. That’s not our assessment, it’s a warning from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. @govpritzker I spoke to Pritzker about being among the first governors to face Trump’s militarized ICE operations, and he spoke candidly about what happened there: Agents in camouflage and masks, driving unmarked cars, shooting residents — including one woman five times and one man fatally — then systematically lying about what happened. “This has been building up for some time now,” he

Speaking at the Danish Embassy, Denmark’s foreign minister says there is a “fundamental disagreement” with the U.S. as American officials argue Greenland is critical to national security. This comes just after a White House meeting between Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio on Greenland. Denmark and Greenland say the island is not for sale, setting up a rare and unusually blunt moment between NATO allies over Arctic power and security. | Jessica Yellin

What you’re seeing here are the moments immediately after ICE agents detained a 25-year-old special education teacher named Christina Rank on Monday morning outside the middle school where she works near Minneapolis. Bystanders started filming after Rank, who is a U.S. citizen, was taken and put into an ICE vehicle. ICE claims Rank rammed their car, but as you can hear in the video, bystanders dispute that account. Christina’s mother says the damage to her daughter’s car suggests the agents hit

Trump administration officials are appearing on national news today to insist that the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was a justified act of self-defense. While these officials are publicly demanding an investigation into the incident, they are simultaneously working to ensure that independent local authorities do not have access to the crime scene. The jurisdictional standoff reached a breaking point yesterday when federal agents physically barred the Minnesota Bureau of Cr

California Governor Gavin Newsom @gavinnewsom is one of the few American leaders willing to confront Trump directly. Asked at Davos what world leaders should do as Trump threatens Greenland, Newsom didn’t hedge. He warned that Europe and others are being complicit—flattering themselves into thinking indulgence will keep them safe. Trump, he said, behaves like a T-Rex: appeasement only invites more danger. What should they do? Newsom said that part is up to them. But the message was unmistakable:

Minnesota officials claim the FBI is blocking them from participating in the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis yesterday. The state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) reported it “reluctantly” removed itself from the investigation because the FBI wouldn’t let the organization have “access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews.” This was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s response. Frank Figliuzzi is the FBI’s former assistant director fo

She had sharp words for Trump - and how his rhetoric drives the use of force we’re seeing by ICE. @senslotkin has deep expertise in national security and defense, serving three tours in Iraq. She has worked in senior roles at the Pentagon and White House under both Bush and Obama. We also discuss the shutdown. To watch the full interview - sign up for our Substack.

Federal agents violently detained a WGN News employee in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood today. We added the blurred pixels because the agents were so rough with her, her pants came down while she was struggling on the ground. Bystanders yelled at the agents to “stop putting pressure around her neck…she can’t breathe!” It’s not clear why she was detained. There is also video online showing agents putting her into their van and smashing into a car as they pull away and posters say it was he

Trump’s operation in Venezuela isn’t just about one country. It could set off a global chain reaction. Jake Sullivan — former Biden National Security Advisor — warns that Russia and China may read the U.S. takeover as a green light: if “big countries” can dominate smaller neighbors in their region, why shouldn’t they do the same? That puts places like Taiwan — and global stability — at risk. I spoke with Sullivan and Jon Finer, former State Department policy chief, about what really happened in
