After ICE did this in Illinois, the Secretary of State revoked the plates, sent a cease and desist to ICE, threatened to suspend rental car licenses for allowing ICE to swap plates and set up a tip hotline to report plate tampering.

MN deserves the same action.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest.

On election eve, I want to share a thread from the last podcast on Behavioral Crisis Response, a non-police response to appropriate 911 calls. It’s personal to me because I have family who have experienced crisis. That Frey worked to sabotage, rather than accelerate, BCR - and then claims credit - 🤬

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

I appreciate that he's basically saying that left his own devices Trump would suck even more.
Mike Johnson: "The irony was that they called it the No Kings Rally, but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open. If President Trump was a king, he would've closed the nationals parks and the National Mall so they couldn't of had the rally out here."

JD Vance has excused the leaked racist messages from the young Republicans group chat as “kids being kids” and “just mistakes.” But who really gets to be a kid in this country? And what kinds of kids are allowed to make mistakes?

Today Mayor Frey vetoed the Commercial Advance Notice of Sale Ordinance. This policy was in response to concerns about displacement and gentrification. Unsurprisingly, Frey chose to maintain status quo rather than support a community-centered policy.

Honestly, even the most pragmatic centrists amongst you, be fucking honest now - what do you think a love letter between Trump Homeland Security folks and Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara portends? Remember, be fucking honest (at least with yourself).
