The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

I remember when the Atlanta Falcons won the Super Bowl 28-3 before their lead just was magically whittled away.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

Saddened by the loss of Catherine O’Hara today and thinking of all the lessons her humor and humanity has taught countless people across the world.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

First thought was that Trump and his crowd would fall all over themselves to call the exiled Gregory Bovino a hero. Now I'm thinking that they're going to blame everything that happened in Minnesota on him. With a changing narrative and rapid backpedaling, the search is on for a fall guy.

Woj reached legendary status years ago when he told Josh Hawley to fuck off. We were golfing and saw a social post about that email and knew he’d (wrongly) get suspended. We screamed “WOJ BOMB” on every good shot the rest of the round.

Moments before the first shot is fired, this federal agent can be seen retreating with a gun. It appears to match the general appearance of the firearm posted by DHS, including the red dot sight. This agent’s back is turned when the first shot occurs. x.com/BillMelugin_...

/6 Watch, as this unfolds, two key things: (1) how blatantly the Gestapo will lie, and demand that you ignore what you can see plainly, and (2) how uselessly, how pathetically, how impotently the media will treat those lies and dither at this murder, craven publicists to evil.

Every once in a while I remember that when Vic Mackey from “The Shield” (2002-08) has nowhere left to turn — when he has murdered other cops in cold blood and is guilty of extortion and stealing millions in drug money and the walls are closing in — he escapes punishment by getting a job with ICE.

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*
Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators:
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."
