The part about taking his daughter out of school is particularly rich given how much ICE has targeted and terrorized schools in Minneapolis and elsewhere around the country

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

If the investigation is out of MN it means it is run by the very same HSI agents who have been lying over and over to judges. If they got a warrant in DC anyway, it's all the more problematic.

More surprised that Klobachar is polling so low than I am Ellison up 9. Klobachar's smallest margin ever statewide was +16. I think the MN polling is starting to match presidential disapproval. We'll know the results before election night ends. That said: campaign like you're 3 points behind.

Obviously this is BS. (1) the SoL has run (2) as alleged she didn't complete the paperwork, so couldn't have committed a crime & (3) even if she did, she would have been a minor so no jurisdiction. All that + the timing--weeks before the election--tells us exactly what this.

Reup: 4 HSI Agents--like the people who raided Ilhan Omar today--have lied to judges at least 36 times to target Dems and other Trump opponents, one to excuse following a Todd Blanche order, another to do Harmeet Dhillon's dirty work. emptywheel.net/2026/10/12/h...

There are at least 36 affidavits signed by HSI Agents -- like the goons who just searched Ilhan Omar's house -- who have made false claims to frame Democrats or other Trump opponents.

“I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly.” Why would you do that, judge? Did you think they deserve it on the merits? Did you expect that to get them to respect adverse rulings rather than take it as permission?

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.

The majority of Minnesotans ride bikes. The majority of Minnesotans also say they'd bike more if there was better and safer infrastructure to do so. @mndot.mn.gov's update to the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is good, but does it go far enough? Read our summary ⤵️⤵️⤵️ www.bikemn.org/mndots-draft...

MnDOT’s Draft of the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is a Big Update - Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota

It's a huge improvement over the last version. But does it fall short of the clear public desire to make biking, walking, and rolling safer in Minnesota?

The potential for bicycling is so strong Minnesota estimates that "transformative mode shift" can be accomplished with an investment of $146 million/year as the DOT has a $1.8 billion/year budget Often transportation investments chase marginal improvements, hopefully MN commits to transformation

I wonder how nice Lisa Demuth & Michele Tafoya feel about the president inciting a pogrom on my neighbors. Will the Strib political desk look up from its civility politics and push them, noting Demuth effectively invited ICE here before or will they just accept an email from Tafoya’s human shields?

Just saw the @the-downballot.com report that the National money--on both sides--is flowing in to MN-01. Not sure how to square a competitive Senate race if MN-01 is close. Curious if the politics knowers on here can see a realistic story where MN-01 flips and Tafoya wins.

Getting off the plane, most normie MN dude was talking to his buddy about the kid they arrested today, calling BS from the get-go. “Yeah, it was a two year operation, so he was 16 when it started!” “That’s how you know it’s all them! What 16 year old would stay committed to *anything* that long?!”

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?

CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION

Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.

The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.
