SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

Kash Patel, laser focused on the safety of the American people

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do. Then they *lost* him. www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

Everything else aside (which is always a heavy lift), it’s incredible how Trump can just spend gobs of money on things that have no apparent point while the Supreme Court couldn’t act fast enough when Biden wanted to forgive some student loans.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Schools should send these fake tip lines out to faculty members like they do phishing tests. If you try to report a student, you're immediately fired

At this point, we should just assume they’re lying. But by their own account the kid had no record. US citizen. At the very least, it looks like multiple policy violations — they surrounded the car, fired into a moving vehicle, killed him through the driver’s side window.

The historic and modern concentration camps near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi should be returned to the people who didn't use the land for concentration camps.

Man, I can't wait to get my tariff rebate check.

Marco Rubio just flew to Budapest to deliver a speech in which he provided a full endorsement of Viktor Orbán in the upcoming Hungarian elections. Here is the letter he signed in 2019 warning about Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory" under Orbán h/t Carrick Ryan

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

My “totally exonerated” T-shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt…

So in this little exchange it's alleged that Trump was engaged in exactly the behavior Republicans spent years feigning vapors about with Clinton and it's not even pursued as far as I've seen. Bannon is alive, anyone ask him?

53 degrees in minneapolis. tall bikes being deployed from cedar riverside into downtown

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on former Dilley employee who served in the military: “They said if they knew what…the government machinations were like inside, they never would have served.”

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

Doug and Josh. You lit a fire in me with your song collaboration. I just did a collaboration with my brother and this is what we came up with. I wrote the song. He sang it and played his guitar. youtu.be/wl6BX11WEYY?...

the same CEOs who put out a nothing statement instead of actually standing up to ICE in any meaningful way? they don’t get to take a victory lap herev

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Wild.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Imagine you’re 5 and you’re in kinder and it’s a normal day, you had breakfast with your family and they walked you to the bus stop and gave you big hugs and kisses and told you how much they love you and they can’t wait to see you after school. Imagine you spend all day learning and thinking

A narrative has taken hold that the twin towers were attacked on September 11, 2001. That doesn’t comport with what I’m seeing in New York. Check out all these tall buildings which are still standing.

Looks like the anti-voting bots are in full force. You'd have to be an utter idiot to fall for posts like these.

People like Scott Horton are the worst trash on this website. Post links and tweet screenshots with vapid commentary for clout, cash in ancient credentials (thanks, Harper’s and Columbia Law), ignore criticism when you post misinformation.

Today is a good day to follow @marisakabas.bsky.social and block @robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

The GOP thinks this is different than their own gerrymandering bc they see this as people not in the Herrenvolk getting disproportionate representation. They don’t think liberals & city voters are real Americans, so when they do it it’s fine. They have told us this, here in WI & across 🇺🇸, for years:

One must swiftly address the Nazi bar problem.

Godspeed You! Orange Emperor

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

RIP Alex Pretti

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Fwiw 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are already required in law or policy and are not being followed so this is already half dead on arrival.

How to Attend a Public Meeting

Here is an image of the building you can see through the window I shared a picture of above. As Kate said yesterday evening: it used to be a beautiful building.

this is, i suppose, one way to address a woman, when given the opportunity to show empathy towards abused women "mr trump do you have anything to say to epstein surivors" "how about you shut the fuck up and smile more, you terrible woman"

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

Shit is nuts. This week I spoke to a crim. defense attorney from mpls who mostly does federal work. He said a client got arrested with 19 pounds of meth & an indictment was coming. Then the feds had to forgo the indictment because they don’t have the resources. Walking away from 19 pounds of meth!

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
