I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

State of the Union: The capture of Maduro was basically the political version of a well-timed slide tackle. It’s messy, it’s controversial, there’s blood, but if it stops the other team from scoring you do it. People complaining about legality are wimps. Peace is winning.

Was curious to see what Kuntz would do in his first year finally free of any and all bad Klein contracts (at least I think they are all gone). This is a great first step if we get the deal across the line. I think he will pair well with Garces.

Stuff might actually happen and the Senate could no longer cynically block badly needed reforms you say? Oh and the GOP might actually have to govern instead of just block everything they don't like in perpetuity?!
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Go from 9 to 18 and the longest-tenured justice retires every two years. Single 18-year terms.
Every president gets to appoint two, the make-up of the court is always evolving, and you avoid having justices who are too young or too old.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.
They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

I'll dig in more on this at a later date, but we also have to acknowledge the shortcomings of some of MLS's best Americans last night.
In the coming weeks, MLS will weigh changes to its future format. Last night should be a part of the discussion. Steps must be taken to drive the league's quality.
