I wasn't expecting to be live on TV in France from a strip mall in Burnsville today, but these are strange times.

Kid 1 and Kid 2 were the last two passengers to board a scheduled revenue passenger train in Minneapolis - I don’t think there’ll be another opportunity, at least in my lifetime. What a goddamn shame.

ICE Air getting shackles ready for five van loads of deportees today at MSP, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. It was 15° F, windchill 6°.

Route was AEX-MSP-OMA, operated by Eastern Air Express's N625SW as TYSON42, loaded and fueled at Signature Aviation, MSP's private jet terminal.
