Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

"Worse than Bush after Katrina" is a polling benchmark that I thought that partisan polarization had made impossible
Pollster: 58% of Americans say Trump's second term has been a failure. A year into term number two, Trump's numbers look worse than any other president. Trump is even worse than George W. Bush after Katrina and a long period in the Iraq War. This is really, really bad.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
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.

adding this to my folder of ludicrous supposed "trans sports" bans that also includes: chess, pool, darts, sailing, Irish dancing & more. as Molly says, it's simply about removing trans ppl from the public sphere...
If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.
Newport co-ed cheerleading team is at center of Trump transgender athlete crackdownTrump admin focuses on swimming, cheerleading in Maine transgender athlete probes
The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

I follow. You flee. Remind me who the criminals are again. What is it you can’t do when we’re watching, Stephen?
Miller: "In MN, the insurrectionists are confronting our officers on the street. They're being arrested. This is a natl security priority. Arrests of insurrectionists are made every day, and each provide us an opportunity to learn about the network from a law enforcement & natl security standpoint"

Trump is not omnipotent. He exists within a web of institutions. His authority is not unlimited. It appears that way largely because his allies occupy key places — Congress — that could provide a meaningful check. Important to understand his actual reach and the limits of that reach. (14/14)

They keep increasing the size and aggression of their deployments while targeting smaller and smaller places, because Stephen Miller derives an almost sexual thrill from the idea of masked thugs overrunning an ethnic enclave, but can’t find enough thugs or a neighborhood that’s vulnerable enough
One thing I noticed is that the thugs keep moving to smaller cities.
They started in L.A. and kept pretty tame while hoping the National Guard would do their dirt.
Then tried going into Chicago but got scared.
Now getting stopped by a city with 450k people.
Next stop: rural Maine.

It's odd, isn't it, how the supposed "woke overreach" that we are told has repulsed all of America & sent Dems into the wilderness coincided, almost perfectly, with final collapse of media gatekeepers & the rise of unrestrained RW media & social media dominance.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
