I'm from Minnesota. This is attempted murder.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Here's How Much The Trump Family Is Worth

Just realized the president implied yesterday that fishermen should stay out of the water because the U.S. may think you have drugs and kill you, and it's just a blip that barely warrants coverage.
Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

not to keep beating a dead horse, but if Biden told a reporter that 300 million Americans died from drugs last year, every media outlet would demand he resign and throw himself into a nursing home

The incompetence of this administration is stunning.
Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.
