Updates:

You can tell the administration is serious about rooting out fraud in Minnesota by the fact they just forced all of the prosecutors working those fraud cases to resign.

Joseph H. Thompson, a career federal prosecutor who was the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota last year, was among those who resigned as the Justice Department sought to examine the woman’s supposed ties to activist groups.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

Polls:

Pollster: In the latest reading, it is an 8 point advantage for Democrats. This is even better than what we saw Democrats had back in 2017 when they had a 6 point advantage, and of course, Democrats easily took back the House.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

All I could find on this is a twitter report saying he kept asking to be allowed to go inside to get his papers and they wouldn't let him.

Tricia McLaughlin on Renee Good: "I think if the individual was killed last week by an illegal alien, I don't think we would be seeing any protest."

Tricia McLaughlin: "I don't think those individuals even really know what they're protesting. I think they've largely been brainwashed not just by the media, but by the politicians themselves."
