All deplorable all the time. Endless endless boot stomping on the face of Democracy, the constitution, & it's people.

Hopefully this gets thrown out fast, like 70% of what these nasty vipers do.

This is a significant escalation and is meant to give the federal government grounds for invoking the Insurrection Act.

I understand people not wanting to follow the news lately and the inclination in just tuning it out. But some things you can't tune out because by tuning it out the conditions of the world can deteriorate from our complacency.

How sad is it to see the US position as a leader building alliances completely fall apart under the current administration? Pretty heartbreaking. The news today about sums up the disappointment.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney, speaking to reporters in Beijing on Friday after making a preliminary deal with China on a range of issues, said Canada’s relationship with the U.S. is 'more multi-faceted' and much deeper than Canada's relationship with China — but noted that ties with China have become more predictable in recent months."

I lived my whole life in the twin cities and have a lot of friends, US citizens, who are too scared to go out to eat right now because of the ICE raids. If that wasn’t the point it is certainly the effect. I applaud Walz and Frey, and I will be ranking Frey first next time he’s up for reelection. Something tells me though he will be on to bigger things than mayor of Minneapolis.

He that claimed weaponization of the DOJ is eager to weaponize it [0]

Pure projection, 100% of the time.

> Trump Is Weaponizing the DOJ Just Like He Accused Democrats of Doing

> Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign season, Donald Trump accused his Democratic opponents—President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris—of using the levers of power against him.

> "The Biden regime's weaponization of our system of justice is straight out of the Stalinist Russia horror show," he told rallygoers in March 2023 after being indicted in Manhattan for violating election law. In a September 2024 debate against Harris, Trump even blamed Democrats' rhetoric for the assassination attempt he survived weeks earlier, saying "I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me."

> But now that Trump is firmly ensconced back in office, his administration seems to have no interest in stopping government weaponization. Rather, it seems keen to wield that power for itself. Looking back now on Trump's complaints, it appears less that he was upset than that he was jealous.

Just for the record. 34 felony convictions and adjudicated rape.

The USA is very vulnerable to culture wars and political division, that stymie any real progress.

> The subpoenas suggest that the Justice Department is examining whether Walz’s and Frey’s public statements disparaging the surge of officers and federal actions have amounted to criminal interference in law enforcement work.

The Justice department is literally arguing that free speech is enough to impede an investigation.

This will surely be shot down in court, but this is just all noise to try to interfere in MN's midterm elections.

What a load. Run against Trump, have martial law declared, and get criminally investigated by a corrupt DoJ.

Only Trump deserves to be president.
