NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

Can’t make this stuff up
🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

And then they lied about it. Again
And then not one of them tried to save him. They watched him die.
They shot him, when he was on the ground, TEN times. They ran away, gathered in a semicircle around the man on the ground while one of them KEPT SHOOTING

How many school shootings did we witness as the 2A lost there shit as we tried to stop it. But now, possessing a firearm while filming is a death sentence. Unfucking believable.

Madness that an entire party just gave into a bunch of clowns.
they’ve really landed on killing civilians is necessary to enforce the voting rights act
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Just saw the video. And it’s horrifying. Congress must do its job.
BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.

From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Stronger bill this year from @russetperry.bsky.social (SB794) prohibiting extradition (and also investigation or assisting with an investigation) for obtaining healthcare that is legal in Virginia. Not just for abortion, although that was the original impetus.

Every day, I grow more confident that MAGA leaders inherently don't like their base. And they intentially misinform them to hide the fact that they are actually protecting themselves. That's why they tell you college is no longer worth it while sending their OWN kids to college.
The fact that the online Right are all freaking out about a number that they got to by *checks notes* adding up all the percentages of proposed legislation for *checks notes* income earners over $500K or $1M a year is so incredibly funny and shows how deeply unserious they are.

When I hear folks defend ICE by saying "look, the country voted for this," I'm reminded that what's so great about our Democarcy is that it's a living, breathing body. It's able to respond to horrific behavior, not always, but in the right circumsances. And, no, most Americans did not vote for this.

Oh, now they care about the law?
Dems might use trifecta to deal with GOP legal challenge to redistricting

GOP did forum shopping by filing lawsuit in deep red county

Dems may try to move it to Richmond

But VA Supreme Court might get final say

Realistically GOP going all in on legal issue bc politics tough
There's a clever floor substitute to the enabling legislation for the redistricting amendment on LIS now that adds a provision that the only venue (for related lawsuits, incl. moving those underway) is the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond (presumably a friendly court).
