Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

You know the way pet fur gets everywhere?
And by "everywhere" I mean "somehow the sweater you pulled out of ten-year-old luggage has kitty glitter or dog fur or both on it"?

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
