Michele Tafoya pledged in a letter to MNGOP delegates that she’ll be a vote for Trump’s anti-abortion justices — saying she is “completely aligned with President Donald Trump” on abortion. We have the receipts:

In one of my cases, Dan Rosen himself asked Judge Bryan to recuse for bias because his wife was then the Solicitor General of Minnesota. It did not go well. You can see all the briefing and the order in the thread below.

This is yet another stunt by the Department of Justice attacking the integrity of Minnesota's federal judges. In emails to habeas petitioners' lawyers, they have complained that they feel getting certain judges means they automatically lose. And they've openly attacked individual judges before.

Oh this sounds fascinating! My partner and I recently listened to “Reign of Terror“ on audiobook that traces the throughlines from 9/11 -> Trump being elected. ICE and the horrors of American immigration policy come up constantly. Sounds like a different angle than the doc, but definitely recommend!

Myers was the deciding vote when gun violence prevention failed in the House. He also told a colleague “It’s my job to know when to vote and when not to vote” to explain why he literally hid behind a pillar rather than vote on protecting MNans from ICE. #mnleg

Guys I volunteered to donate skymiles to get folks home after they’re released from detention. My first person got home last night and I am just over here like 🥹😭 One way flights are often under 50k miles. They don’t need to be skymiles either. Please consider. www.standwithminnesota.com/skymiles

This and how many times we frantically texted loved ones to make sure they were safe and alive after hearing about our government gassing, beating, abducting, or murdering someone in their neighborhood. Living in that space for months but not giving up.

Also how many reading guides do you think already exist for this very famous book? AI is probably drawing from them anyways. AI users are forgetting how to think. 🫠

Don’t hesitate to come to the polls; DOJ monitors will be outside the 100-foot zone, you don’t have to talk, you also don’t have to freak out, if you see them talking to anyone before they vote (they can only do so after) or engaging otherwise, tell the precinct head judge. We’re trained to help.

Frey says spending is the equivalent of MPD having hundreds more officers than they actually do. "what it shows is, it was not actually an overspend at all." He's in his third term and still getting the hang of the concept of a budget.

Question for those who are more well-versed in AI than I am (I avoid it like the plague that I believe it to be): If you just run your website through AI to "see what it thinks," did you just lose control over the use of all the writing, artwork, photos, and intellectual property it contains? ☠️
