I flew coach, the flight wasn't full, and the young woman in my otherwise empty row was chatty. Normally I'd put in headphones and avoid eye contact, because that's the kind of selfish a-hole I can be, but this young lady had 'vulnerable' stamped on her forehead. She was petite and visibly nervous. She kept looking at a photo of someone, maybe her sister or mom, then putting it to her chest, then looking out the window, then back at the photo. Had she turned the photo toward the window to share the view, I'd have changed rows. She didn't. April 25, 2025 at 10:15 PM EDT Host Rachel Maddow had plenty of material to work with while laying out the collapsing popularity of President Donald Trump's agenda on the Friday episode of her MSNBC program.

In the Pew poll, President Donald Trump is underwater in his overall approval rating by 19 points. In a Fox News poll, people are asked if Trump's policies are helping or hurting the U.S. economy. They say Trump's policies are hurting the U.S. economy by a margin of 22 points." April 25, 2025 at 9:25 PM EDT New York University law professor Ryan Goodman says he sees two big flaws in the federal charges against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for obstruction and concealing an individual from arrest.

April 25, 2025 at 9:09 PM EDT An American-born toddler was recently deported to Honduras with her mother, prompting one judge appointed by President Donald Trump to express alarm over the administration's sloppy handling of the case. Politico's Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein reported Friday that U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty -- who Trump appointed to the Western District of Louisiana in 2018 -- has now scheduled a May 16 hearing to discuss the deportation of the two year-old U.S. citizen referred to in court papers as "V.M.L." Doughty wrote in the scheduling order that the hearing was necessary "in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process." April 25, 2025 at 7:49 PM EDT John Reid, who is the Republican nominee in Virginia lieutenant governor's race this November, declined to drop out after Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin asked him to end his campaign over illicit photos Reid allegedly reposted.

In a recent editorial, the Lancet -- a highly regarded, peer-reviewed medical journal based in the United Kingdom -- tore into the Trump administration over its threatening letters sent to editors of various journals and scientific publications. The Lancet specifically derided a letter that the CHEST medical journal (for medical professionals in the pulmonary field) got earlier this month from Ed Martin, who Trump appointed as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia following his prior career as a Republican activist.

Trump has yet to nominate a replacement. April 25, 2025 at 5:28 PM EDT One former top FBI official in President Donald Trump's first administration is now saying current FBI Director Kash Patel could have committed a major error pertaining to the arrest of a judge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Patel announced the FBI's arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday morning on social media, posting to his official X account that the bureau had "evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week." The tweet was deleted, and later reposted. April 25, 2025 at 4:50 PM EDT The National Republican Senatorial Committee attacked the remarks of U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) as "disgusting" and accused him of working to "overturn the will of Georgia," after Ossoff promised another impeachment. Ossoff told supporters at Friday Cobb County town hall that he "strongly" supports a push to impeach President Donald Trump a third time if midterms deliver as recent polling suggests.

Ruiz was eventually arrested by federal agents after they chased him through an alley.
