Settling for bed while thinking about Minneapolis & Portland. Cub is sound asleep beside me, Husky curled against them. I can’t sleep when I’m angry & sad, so I’m trying to feel the feels & direct them slowly towards making a future worthy of this kid & pup. Good night, dear Sky People

PORTLAND MAYOR: “There was a time when we could take the federal government at their word. That time is long past.”
As DHS tells the same exact story about a ‘weaponized’ vehicle— Mayor Wilson says they stand with Minnesota, and ICE agents must be investigated.

Congresswoman Underwood is one of the most effective representatives in the House and not enough people talk about it.
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

New in PN: Renee Good's killer can and must be prosecuted
"There’s no path to justice that runs through this administration or the federal courts. Hell, Trump will probably give the shooter a medal, and would certainly give him a pardon. But there is a path to justice that runs through Minnesota."

This is excellent, short, and well worth a read.
You're going to hear a lot of lies about what the law allows after the Trump Regime's murder of Renee Good.
States can prosecute federal officers, they've been doing it since the 1800s. Trump cannot stop it and cannot pardon it.

The most important part of Hegseth's demotion of Mark Kelly is that Donald Trump's DOJ still hasn't released the Epstein files. #Epstein

Mark Kelly blasts Hegseth attempting to lower his military rank and pension. Saying "If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it."

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

I think you are right. It actually took 2-3 years in Missoula, MT to get free buses for all. It’s well with the effort, in so many ways. Thank goodness we had a great mayor - who also, over several years, turned the private municipal water system public. Relentless persistence paid off handsomely.
