Temperatures by Sunday afternoon slowly climb into the mid-10s for much of the area, but it will feel more like the low single digits.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I realize I sound like a broken record regarding holding RIGOP and their members accountable for the Republican admin however I'd point out that if one still identifies as a Republican under Trump, at some point you agree enough with this admin to stay a Republican.

Once again with the release of the latest #epsteinfiles why isn't local media asking our elected or leaders in RIGOP about their support for this president esp. since this party claimed that LGBTQ+ people were abusing children or that masking students was abuse.
