Good morning I have some personal news: I am moving back to upstate New York. The main reason is to be closer to family, and my wife and I both terribly miss the region we grew up in. There's also a bit more for our kids there, which has become apparent as they've grown up.

NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:

Worth noting on how the Tom Kean Jr. time line on offering full transparency keeps expanding.
Two weeks ago he said to @wildstein he’d be back in the next couple weeks.
Yesterday he put out a statement saying he’d be back “within a matter of weeks.”

Here's my interview with Adam Schwarze - he doesn't share an opinion on the Derek Chauvin moment of silence, he says Michele Tafoya represents the Washington establishment and he calls my interview "crazy" and says "you guys are terrible." #mngop

Last week, I got to examine my first witnesses in court. And I couldn't have asked for a more important case: Leo, a U.S. citizen and construction worker, testified about being detained by ICE three times in the past year. Each time, he had his documents. None of it mattered. 1/

Arizona wastes an extraordinary amount of water growing alfalfa in the literal desert. It's ~27% of the state's total water use.
This is extremely uneconomical, and if farmers were forced to to pay anything close to the actual value of that water, it would disappear overnight.

Kearny AZ "was given just 77 acre-feet this year, a fraction of the 280 acre-feet it typically uses. Kearny asked residents to cut their water use by 30%, banned watering lawns and washing cars, drained its public pool and let Little League fields go brown." nytimes.com/2026/05/25/us/sn…

The teenagers behind a shooting at a San Diego mosque last week wore patches associated with Atomwaffen Division, a defunct neo-Nazi group, and drew clear inspiration from a loose international neo-Nazi network called "Terrorgram."

When I was a kid, every Republican primary was a battle between a Chamber of Commerce wife-and-kids guy who wanted to bomb random countries and a cranky old dentist wife-and-kids guy who was really into the Constitution and "sound money." Now I have no idea what is going on.
