Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy π β at Manhattan, NY

3 American soldiers have been killed. Trump has yet to address the Nation. And he tells us more American soldiers βwill likely dieβ in a war he instigated with no strategy or plan. And weβre expected to be ok with all of it.
Iβm not.

WSJ EDITORIAL
βStephen Millerβs mass deportation methods are turning immigration, an issue Mr. Trump owned in 2024, into a political liability for Republicans in 2026.
Americans donβt want law enforcement shooting people in the street or arresting five-year-old boys.
The Trump Administration spin on this simply isnβt believable.
Stephen Miller, the political architect of the mass deportation policy, called Pretti a βdomestic terrorist.β He was a nurse without a criminal record.
To hear the ardent gun-rights advocates of the Trump Administration claim he had malicious intentions because he carried a concealed weapon is bizarre.
Itβs worth noting the comments over the weekend by police around the country who say that this isnβt how they conduct law enforcement.
This is backfiring against Republicans.

βPlease get the truth out about our son.β
Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

Dear @JDVance: Nobody should be doxxed at a restaurant.
I also remind you that Alex Pretti can never go to a restaurant again.
Border Patrol agents killed Alex in the βborder cityβ of Minneapolis.
The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope you stop this madness.
When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:
A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.
This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.
The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

Americans. The BBC is the world's most respected broadcaster. @BBCRosAtkins is its most respected "fact checker". Here he analyses, frame by frame, what happened
ICE removed Alex Pretti's gun, ππππ shot him - 10 times in 5 seconds. Your government is lying to youπ

WORTH REPEATING:
Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M.
Minnesota has 130,000.
Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration.
It never was.
Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and itβs impeachable.

Our independent watchdogs are failing the American people.
ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago.
They are killing people in Minneapolis.
Then turn around and lie to our faces.
If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??

If you only invoke the Second Amendment after children are murdered in their schools, but defend the government when it claims someone deserved to be executed for being legally armed, then you do not believe in the Second Amendment

Tim Miller: βI will not be fucking gaslit by these people. I will not tone down the rhetoric. Jonathan Ross murdered her. She talked to him calmly, said dude Iβm not mad. This is fucking insane. This is not a tough call. He orphaned her child and called her a fucking bitch after he killed her. Do not let Donald Trump, and JD Vance, and Kristi Noem, and these thugs try to convince you this is anything other than murderβ

Translation: Most of my colleagues and I realize that Donald Trump is destroying the country β but weβre terrified to say or do anything because all we care about is getting reelected and holding onto our power.
Cowards. All of them

The head of our countryβs government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox Newsβ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.
Itβs unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
Whatβs most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.
I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.
It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.
It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.
Every single Republican blocked it.
Shame on them for betraying our heroes.
