Anthony Edwards dismisses rumors that he is frustrated in Minnesota and calls the Timberwolves his “ideal situation”, per @ChristopherHine
“Multiple sources close to Edwards dismissed the chatter as just that. One said there was no truth to any of it. Another reiterated Edwards and his team love Minnesota, and they think being here, in this location with this franchise, is the “ideal” situation.”

An observation about NBA chit chat ... there's a 24-year-old All-Star taken high in the 2020 draft who has three years left on a 5-year max contract. His team hasn't made the playoffs in his career, but we don't hear anything about LaMelo Ball wanting out.
Q: Why are we seeing Americans being asked on the street to provide proof of citizenship in Minnesota? Is that targeted enforcement and are you advising Americans to carry proof of citizenship?
KRISTI NOEM: In every situation we are doing targeted enforcement. If we are on a target, there may be individuals surrounding that criminal that we may be asking who they are and why they're there and having them validate their identity
This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs.
Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing.
Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating.
The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.
A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.
“All you had to do is show up to meetings to get $25 million dollars?”
“Yes”
“And instead of showing up, you sat at home, giving them the ability to void your contract?”
“Yes”
