Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Purposfully chaotic representation of current and proposed future state by showing all offices and programs in the former while omitting both them and the 3 health service areas under each VISN. More silos plus an extra layer of bureaucracy #VHA #Veterans www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Trump is bailing out Argentina’s economy to the tune of $20 billion while our farmers are enduring a crisis that he caused with his tariffs. On top of that, food, housing, health care and electricity costs continue skyrocketing. That’s not putting America first.
