Minnesota Nice does not apply to ICE.
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

"Of the 28 gigawatts of new generation the U.S. installed so far in 2025, 75% was solar, followed by wind at 13% and gas at 11%," according to @heatmap.news.
And yet, Trump's team is doing everything it can to kill off solar and wind right when the US needs more power than ever.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

For starters, weird that an Attorney General prepares for a hearing with opposition research to attack committee members. That is a first, for me at least. Somebody prepped all that — interesting work out of Department of Justice.

Today in Judiciary, the MAGA Attorney General falsely accused me of taking money, “not only once but twice,” from “one of Epstein’s closest confidantes.”
She brought it up twice, in response to different questions, so no accident.
