  • Mass resignations in US Attorney's office in Minnesota
    wtgW wtg

    A new wave of departures is rippling through the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota, where additional federal prosecutors are leaving at a time of mounting frustration with the Trump administration's stepped-up immigration enforcement and the Justice Department's response to fatal shootings of civilians by federal agents, two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

    The latest departures are on top of a half-dozen attorneys who left the office last month amid disagreements over the Justice Department's response to the shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. At least one supervisory agent in the FBI's Minneapolis office is known to have resigned last month as well.

    The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Monday evening that eight lawyers have since departed the office or announced plans to do so. A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss non-public personnel moves, confirmed that this number was correct and that more departures were likely. Another person also confirmed a new wave of departures in the office.

  • ICE in Portland OR

    More judicial professorship.

    Judge's opinion and order regarding ICE attacking protestors. It speaks to issues regarding unconstitutional behavior on the part of government.

    Judge orders federal officers to stop teargassing 'Portland chicken' and other nonviolent protesters and journalists at ICE facility

    A federal judge in Portland, Oregon issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday that bars federal officers from shooting or firing tear gas at nonviolent protesters and journalists outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city’s residential South Waterfront neighborhood.

    The judge's opening remarks. Amen, Your Honor.

    In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Our nation is now at a crossroads. We have been here before and have previously returned to the right path, notwithstanding an occasional detour. In helping our nation find its constitutional compass, an impartial and independent judiciary operating under the rule of law has a responsibility that it may not shirk. For that reason, and as more fully explained below, the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order.

  • Nationalize the elections
    wtgW wtg

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he was "not in favor" of federalizing elections a day after President Donald Trump said on a podcast that Republicans "ought to nationalize the voting.”

    “That’s a constitutional issue,” Thune told a reporter who asked him about Trump's remarks.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-gop-leader-john-thune-says-disagrees-trump-congress-nationalize-rcna257260

    Well, unlike the orange guy, at least he knows it's a constitutional issue. And he actually said so out loud.

    I guess that's something.

    edit: Mike Johnson, OTOH, is still a complete idiot.

  • Let's talk miso

    I've eaten it in food in restaurants but haven't used it in anything I prepare at home; I don't really cook Japanese cuisine even though I like it a lot.

    I read this article and now I'm thinking I may experiment with it.

    Anybody here a miso expert? Have recipes to share that have miso among the ingredients?

  • Remember how NH was going to get rid of car inspections?
    wtgW wtg

    Interesting. Here in Illinois, the inspections are done by a state agency and you don't pay anything. Well, except the taxes that we pay to support state government.

    If your car flunks you can't renew your license plates until you can pass the inspection.

  • NIPSCO

    Meanwhile...

    This Insight highlights an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) docket (46322) in which Amazon and a regulated utility, Northern Indiana Public Service (NIPSCO), are speedily developing generation to meet Amazon’s data center-related demand. This docket is unique in that:

    It offers a template for how a utility, a tech company, and a state commission can remove impediments to quickly serving megaload customers and insulate other customers from risks associated with that service.

    The IURC has willingly waived some of its jurisdictional authority.

    The 2,400 MW in Amazon data center capacity is among the largest contracted capacity commitments between a utility and a data-center customer in the nation.
