Well, it's been a busy week for President Trump, flexing his power at home and abroad.

To discuss, we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and K. Part. That is New York Times columnist

David Brooks and Jonathan Kepart of MS Now. It's good to see you both. And I want to start with

a little bit of news, Jonathan, that we just got moments ago. There are now reports.

The Department of Justice

is issuing criminal subpoenas from Minnesota Governor Tim Walts, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry.

We understand part of that is for what they're said is impeding law enforcement. As you

well know, this comes against the backdrop of ICE agents on the ground as part of President

Trump's immigration crackdown protests on the ground in response to their presence.

What's your reaction to the latest?

Well, the president warned that retribution was coming to Minnesota in just a couple of days ago, if not yesterday.

Time is elastic these days.

So not surprising, but also interesting,

coming from an administration that campaigned on, you know, how the previous administration

was weaponizing the Justice Department against him and against people like him. And instead,

what we have seen from President Trump is a weaponization of the Department of Justice.

Now it's Governor Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Fry, but also New York Attorney General Letitia James,

former FBI director James Comey, the six Democratic members of the House and the Senate that did the video telling

service members what they already know, which is

they are not, they do not have to follow unlawful or illegal orders. So I think that the

governor and the mayor probably saw this coming a mile away because, again, we're dealing

with the president who has made it very clear in word and indeed that he will go after people he does not like.
