It's very possible Nancy gets hired by Celtic, gets fired by Celtic, and gets rehired by #Crew96 before the 2026 MLS season starts.

So, constrained by nothing.
President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.

A million times, this. You're the one with power, you need to be held to a higher standard. You don't get to shoot first and ask questions later.
“But he thought—“ I don’t care what he thought. The person with the badge, gun, and government paycheck is meant to be held to a higher standard than any old yahoo on the street. If he thought he was going to be hit he should have jumped out of the way WHICH IS WHAT HE DID. And then he killed her.
"An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from—not toward—a federal officer when he opened fire."
Great video analysis of Minneapolis shooting from NYT. These frames show drawing of gun and exact moment of first shot.

There are enough people who've been shot by federal agents during this bullshit that they could make a database.
The Trace has maintained a database tracking the people shot by federal agents as part of immigration enforcement:
How Many People Have Been Shot in ICE Raids?

Also, if you see John Rocker, kick him in the dick.
John Rocker, a former MLB player more known for his piggish racism than pitching ability, is in Columbus to smear Somali immigrants as fraudsters.
If you see something... say something! Busting up Rocker's sorry ass would do crazy things for the business line.

He could be on a beach right now, killing time until the Crew season starts.
