Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis this week questioned the U.S. attorney over the lack of any civil rights investigations into two fatal shootings by immigration agents, and warned that more people could resign in protest if things don't change, multiple sources told CBS News. In a somber meeting on Monday between Minnesota U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen and assistant U.S. attorneys in the criminal division, prosecutors expressed concern that they were not allowed to investigate the federal officers who shot and killed Renee Good or Alex Pretti, sources familiar with the meeting said. They also told Rosen they are worried about how President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota is being handled by the office, warning that they are facing pressure to rush to file criminal charges against people accused of assaulting federal officers without conducting a formal investigation, and that the intense focus on such cases is interfering with their ability to complete other important work. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prosecutors-minneapolis-warn-more-could-resign-renee-good-alex-pretti/

@bernard Link to video I don't know what to make of it. They are politicians. And neither has a good track record. We'll see.

@Daniel said in "Minnesota has had it.": The Minneapolis police, unlike the police in NYC, according to protestors, are standing by and doing nothing to help people. You'd think the opposite if you listened to White House. Not that anyone here would do that. It would make sense if local authorities focused on keeping local people safe - police, national guard. Too bad many in the police force seem to be more sympathetic to those working for ICE.

You would. But I don't think that would work for the rest of us. Lol!

Not even one Scaramucci's worth. In a Jan. 16 news release, the Kennedy Center announced that Kevin Couch would be its new senior vice president of artistic programming. On Jan. 22, the center posted the announcement on X. Not a week later, Couch resigned. Couch confirmed his resignation Wednesday but declined to comment further. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kennedy-center-s-new-programming-head-resigns-days-after-hire-was-announced/ar-AA1VcUPf

Who knows, maybe Ohio will kick out some of the MAGA assholes that currently proliferate there.

I pointed out in a separate thread the one big beautiful bill gave practically unlimited funding. They already have massive funding. So what's to keep them from using it? I don't see an "after..." The Democrats have failed. That's what they do best.

It's a new bunker, command center, and data center. The ballroom is a ruse. But, yeah, I'll read about the legal drama. I enjoy that kind of stuff. He ignored the laws he was supposed to follow. All he did was demolish a large and historic part of the White House. I don't know why doing that would end up in the courts./ s

Aldi won the cheapest UK supermarket award and the big four use their prices to match. Yet of the two I prefer Lidl, and not because of the app and points that generate prizes like a free croissant; though I use ASDA most, going early and raiding the 40-70% reduction areas and freezing as necessary.

Ok.

And what does it mean in real terms to be held in contempt? I don't know. It seems "in contempt" has been clear x10.
