Today, Judge Xinis bars ICE from detaining Mr. Abrego in Tennessee and Judge Crenshaw orders Mr. Abrego’s release on bond; The Wall Street Journal drops another bombshell reporting that Pam Bondi told Trump he was in the Epstein files two months ago; a DoD watchdog reports that Kegseth’s Signal chat messages came from an email marked classified; 140 members of the National Science Foundation have penned a letter of dissent amid fear of retaliation; Louisville Kentucky is changing its jail policy to get off the “sanctuary city list”; The Pentagon withdraws the Marines from Los Angeles; California’s Department of Motor Vehicles is seeking to ban Tesla from selling cars in the state because of how it presented automated driving; and Allison delivers the good news.

Good evening, lovely purveyors of the Bean. I’ve heard that the tangerine toddler’s regime is trying to erase our historic parks.  We might not be able (yet!) to save them but we CAN do this: https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/save-our-signs
Basically, take pictures & upload them to the website. Every tiny bit of resistance will be a work of art.
