More proof that traditional media is out of touch:

The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?

FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

JFC. A guy murdered a woman and it’s on Frey to “bring down the temperature?”

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.

DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

It’s about “protecting the children” but NOT when it’s the Epstein Files
Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment?

CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Tribal lands are NOT under Federal law. Reservations often, but not always, have easement roads for non-tribal travel. ICE has zero authority to enter tribal lands

Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis—now her family has to cope not only with their loss “but with a campaign designed to justify her killing,” Adam Serwer argues:
First the Shooting. Then the Lies.
The Trump administration has perfected the smear campaign.

Pretty soon ICE will use the excuse someone was looking at them funny and felt threatened. These are the fragile bullies from middle and high school who finally found a system that rewards cruelty and insecurity.

Shooting someone in the head in cold blood is civil? Republicans need to wake the hell up.
GOP taking its talking points these days directly from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state media
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."
