Gonna start a thread of “Project 2029” legislation I think a future Dem trifecta should enact ASAP. I’m largely agnostic on the order it should happen in, except for:
1) Day one priority: court unpacking. Double (at least) the size of SCOTUS. Drastically increase circuit and district court sizes.

This is a really important story, and one that explains the place of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities and why this entire occupation is really just ethnic cleansing (my words). Also, props to Marisa for doing the work to get this story right when so many out-of-town journalists have failed.
New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.
My story:
My story:
Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home
DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

Why would the one-time Yale commit who got a business degree from Cal know the words “migration” and “conglomerate”? Our investigation tonight at 11.
Fernando Mendoza speaks like a coach or politician.
He’s dropped “migration” and “conglomerate” in interviews over the past month.
So why and how does the QB talk like that?

This CBS/YouGov question on Trump lowering prices even broke through the magical 30% of people who approve of Trump without thinking.
The people are forcing Democrats to make this the centerpiece of messaging. I don't know any way around it.

Leaking this in bad faith after the fact proves that they were correct not to pick him.
What a pathetic whiner. This is not an "all Jews have dual loyalty" bias, it's a "this specific dude was so into Israel that he implied he was in the IDF when he wasn't."

I am a simple unfrozen caveman state trial court employee, and if I said what I thought of Ilan Wurman I’d get canceled
I want to address my friend Ilan who says here that he has been subject to “a lot of hate” from academics who “should know better” and haven’t respected the “academic enterprise.”
I don’t dislike Ilan. I also think his paper is fundamentally wrong and not scholarly.

Toast Wine Bar in Minneapolis, where everyone really did know your name. I must have had everything on the menu 100 times. Standouts are the crostini selection (esp white anchovy), the weird pizzas, and the time they did polenta
