MUST WATCH: Louisville police officers were desperately searching for a missing 3-year-old boy when a dog came out of nowhere, jumping and barking, eventually leading them directly to the location where he was rescued safe and sound.

After Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the Fifth during her deposition with the House Oversight Committee, the NewsNight panel debated the politics of calling her to testify and her quid pro quo offer to exonerate President Donald Trump in the Epstein probe in exchange for clemency.

This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership. As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not. What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what’s possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics. As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn’t like that.
