Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?
Wait. He didn't.
Ancient. Parked my first car at the top of a hill every night so I could pop the clutch to start every morning.
They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.
Great point. Could also run the entire City of Saint Paul with that many people. 3,000 employees.

Tom Homan scratching his head and looking puzzled as if he’s pondering “what happened to those $50 Gs?”
Makes sense to send the guy who stole $50,000 of FBI money to head up an operation that’s ostensibly about fraud.
An X post from the general counsel of the MN Gun Owners Law Center saying “Clearer look. I never see the man touch his firearm, and it looks like he's disarmed before being shot.” And a clip from a video showing the victim is disarmed before being murdered.

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.
Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
I mean look at this hellscape.
The city of Cambridge, MA started closing their river parkway on Sundays in 1985. And then wouldn’t you know it, they quickly creeped to Saturdays (in 2020 during a global pandemic).

Pretty clear to me that if Vance is coming to prance in front of the ICE church, savvy folks should organize a news conference of all the faith leaders whose houses of worship have been surveilled & parishioners too scared to attend. At least the ICE church folks could worship where they wanted.
God damn you guys rule.
Excellent job. 🫡

Another major success of the Carter Administration that was underreported. I hope the next administration keeps up this smart, humane approach.
Agreed. And Her promised to cut taxes magically through “efficiencies” without eliminating staff. Sounds great. Who wouldn’t want that? But to cut taxes by 1% you need to cut the budget by $2M. Good luck finding that many efficiencies without layoffs.
And she ran such a vague campaign that everyone could find something to like. Even this victory article says literally nothing about what she plans to do. I wonder if Carter felt like he shouldn’t take the gloves off to maintain relationships at the legislature. Because this should have been easy.
Yeah good point. I hope I’m wrong. Her took every side of every issue, or was so vague that people could interpret her positions however they wanted. None of us really know what she’ll do.
Lol she lives on Summit and took a bunch of money from the SOS lawyer who keeps suing the city! But yeah she doesn’t have a position on it.
Look at all those antifas.
I heard Tommy Womack’s “The Replacements” on Radio K once shortly after I moved to the Twin Cities - probably right after it was released. And I have been trying to find it ever since without knowing the title or the artist. This is a crazy way to finally find that song.

Food assistance and home energy assistance payments for our most vulnerable families are under threat with the federal shutdown, while the president builds a $300M ballroom. If you can’t win the messaging battle on that one, you should get out of electoral politics.
I would go to this Ted Talk.
