JUDGE: “It concerns me that Attorney General Bondi’s letter cites three things that are the subject of pending litigation before this court,” referring to the District of Minnesota.
"Is the executive trying to achieve a goal through force that it can't achieve through the Courts?"

i don’t want to give him too much credit they’ve done a pretty great job of doing that themselves over the last two decades
trump has probably destroyed the minnesota republican party for the duration
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

There isn't a perfect playbook for defeating authoritarianism, but we know from other countries that democratic resurgence is possible. I wrote for @slate.com about some of what we're seeing in Minnesota and why I believe, even now, that we will win.

At the Alex Pretti memorial this afternoon, people are unfurling four very large banners.
They read, "How many more will ICE murder? How many more funerals? How many more...how many more?"

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."
