Noem's DHS just got caught lying about a shooting in Maryland after an investigation by local authorities. We can't trust a word they say.

Another reason why Minnesota authorities must join the investigation into the killing of Renee Good.

We need accountability, not a cover up.

I worked with the Biden White House and DOJ to develop a policy on when can federal police shoot at a moving vehicle. DOJ adopted it in 2022, and as far as I know, it hasn't been repealed. Here's what it says:

"Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force."

Nice try @JDVance. My father came to America on a scholarship in the early 60’s, during the civil rights era, and earned a masters in engineering.

I was born in DC and proud to represent MPLS in the MN Senate.

Looks like you took time away from the couch to try out comedy.

Despite completing a fire sale at the trade deadline, our @harrisonbruns believes the Twins could compete in the AL Central next season with a few key offseason moves.

He tells us what needs to be on their To-Do List this offseason to make it happen:

Zebby Matthews' surface-level numbers haven't been great, but he's got the stuff to be a valuable arm for the Twins moving forward.

Our @harrisonbruns on Matthews ability to be a serious piece for Minnesota:

In pulling the Minnesota Twins off the market, the Pohlads continue to crush the hopes of a fan base that deserves better.

CBS NEWS REPORTER: "You know that Republicans in the state, Republicans out of the state, look at what you guys are doing and thinking you're running away from the fight..."

TEXAS STATE REP. ANN JOHNSON (D-HOUSTON): "Yeah, no, abandoning your job is going to Cancun in the middle of a deadly freeze, right? Abandoning your job is cutting health care when people need access. Abandoning your job is cutting public education when we already have one of the worst education systems in the nation"

"When Donald Trump called Georgia Republicans and said, 'I just need you to find me 11,000 votes,' they said, 'No, sir, that's a step too far.' But when he called Texas Republicans and said, 'I need you to steal me five seats,' they said, 'Does July work for you?'"

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Turns out, chasing hard working people through ranches and farms and snatching women and children off the streets is not good policy.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Every paragraph of this WSJ story is more shocking than the last:

"Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away."

A new Republican Senator tried to pass a law last night that would increase minimum sentences for assaults against police officers, except for assaults on police officers on January 6.

I went to floor to object and tell him how dangerous that is. Here's part of the exchange.
