Although President Trump may be ending the surge of immigration agents in Minneapolis, small towns, like Cornelius, Oregon, and Coon Rapids, Minnesota, are dealing with the arrival of ICE agents. Even a single incident can shatter the tranquillity of neighborhoods unaccustomed to turmoil.

Missouri is my home state, though I’ve been in Los Angeles for decades. It’s been treated like a rube state by the GOP and corporations as a given. And become the worst for it.
I was just thinking about which state has elected the worst Republican congressional delegations over the past decade overall and I think I’ve settled on Missouri.
