The state can still bring charges.

The state can still sue the federal government to produce the evidence.

The state can still demand ICE/BORTAC produce the shooter.

The feds do not get to control what the state of Minnesota does. They can only try to make it harder.

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
thinking about how long leftists were blamed for making twitter inhospitable for MPs who are refusing point blank to leave now it's full of nazis and child porn

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.

BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.

Just shooting people

My take is that calling it fascism matters for three reasons

First because I'm a historian, and I believe we need to get it rigorously right

Second because explaining why it's fascism is an important step in convincing ordinary folks and Dem leaders alike that we are not simply a strong ...

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I cannot believe #EmilyOster continues to get airtime for her hot takes, which are provocative, but so often wrong.
If you are reading Oster's NYT OpEd on nutrition guidelines, then you missed this take on vaccine schedules:

"The vaccines removed from the schedule are generally those for diseases that are less common and usually less serious."

*Hepatitis B is a serious disease*

Fifteen years ago today, a gunman opened fire while my wife Gabby Giffords met with constituents outside a Tucson grocery store. Six people were killed. Thirteen others were injured – including Gabby. That day changed everything for my family and our community.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

I almost died, and think of those who did every day.
