Burcum: The Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office is melting down The Star Tribune’s reporting has linked the mass resignations from the office to recent directives from the DOJ, including its refusal to investigate the killing of Renee Good, columnist Jill Burcum writes.

Just honked my horn at an ICE agent next to me at a light after he threw his Hardee’s bag out the driver’s window. Better believe he motioned to the holster on his belt, he was so offended.

Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas was the states only Republican representative to condemn Ancient Oranges racist post. I rag on Kansas representatives a lot, so when they do something right they deserve credit.

But later that week, as F.B.I. agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Ms. Good’s S.U.V., they received orders to stop, according to several people with knowledge of the events who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The orders, they said, came from senior officials, including Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, several of whom worried that pursuing a civil rights investigation β€” by using a warrant obtained on that basis β€” would contradict President Trump’s claim that Ms. Good β€œviolently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle.

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

He committed a crime, Trump pardoned him, he committed a new crime. Law and order president? Lol.

Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) stepped down from his position as Senate Minority Leader position after praising Strom Thurmond’s 1948 Dixiecrat presidential campaign in 2002.

Today Republicans are defending and deflecting the president’s post of a video depicting a Black President and First Lady as apes.

This is not true. All of the evidence from videos and eyewitnesses show the booing started when Vance appeared on the jumbotron. An accurate headline would say this:

"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"

Swapped, covered and removed: The license plate tactics ICE is using in Minnesota The Department of Homeland Security defends secretive practices as safety measures.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.

We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

'There’s a sense it did not have to be this way’: analyst on Washington Post layoffs Media analyst Eric Deggans weighs in on The Washington Post laying off one-third of its staff on Wednesday and what it means for the media landscape.

The Canadian TV news outlets CTV interviewed me about the layoffs gutting the Washington Post yesterday. My primary message: criticism of Jeff Bezos and the newspaper's leadership, emphasizing that this was avoidable and self-inflicted. https://loom.ly/mVw4-a0

Hoping we can move past Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter soon. It’s getting to a really creepy level. I think we have plenty of less sexualized and/or more interesting people who can entertain us.

He’s essentially shutting down the Kennedy Center for the remainder of his term so he doesn’t look embarrassed when he can book no one better than Kid Rock.
