The second letter from federal judge in Minneapolis spells out that two of the five people DOJ wants so badly to arrest are a journalist and his producer.
As @kathleenclark.bsky.social points out, there's a *second* letter, too:

I drove a LOT the last two weeks. Through WA, OR, ID, NV, CA, & AZ, down into Baja & back.
I repeatedly saw graffiti in different states: Jude 1:2. Didn't know that Bible verse, so I looked it up.
"May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance."
I'm not religious but that's a nice blessing.

Want People to Eat More Plants? Make Them the Default.
