A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds DHS is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers.
Belle Cushing is one of the reporters behind the investigation. She spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about it.

1) March isn't even halfway over yet.
2) ICE activity has been trickling upward since last week, with more sightings yesterday and already this morning.
This story just didn't need to be published? Maybe they'll surge and maybe they won't, but reporters offer no insight one way or the other.
With 36 gubernatorial races on the ballot, Walz said he expects to travel the country after Minnesota’s legislative session ends in May, raising money and campaigning for Democratic candidates.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirms that we are still at war with Iran by saying that today will be the most intense bombing.

There were no short-form videos posted to social media about the attack in front of Gracie Mansion, where Mr. Mamdani lives with his wife, Rama Duwaji. There were no impassioned speeches. Mr. Mamdani chose an alternative path: two deliberative written statements, and one 14-minute joint appearance with his police commissioner, Jessica S. Tisch, a political moderate, during which they took only four questions.
this reads like it was written by the bari weiss squad over at the free press. Criticizing the mayor for NOT putting out a video about a hate crime but instead taking to traditional methods like a statement and then a press conference? What the hell?
Media turds confuse access with transparency. They believe a fat dumb rapist lying to their faces during impromptu
press conferences and social media bleats is transparency b/c he gives them access.
Mamdani isn’t offering them the same level of access so they cry about lack of transparency.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.
Iran is bombing Gulf datacenters to blow up symbols of alliance with the US – bringing the war directly into the lives of millions of people
Trump doesn’t lie to be believed.
He lies to be repeated.
Sometimes I even have to remind myself.
Alice, a poodle lab mix
Oh Alice. Picked up as a stray in Arkansas and unclaimed. She was scheduled to be euthanized but caught a break and is coming to the Twin Cities. She needs a foster home and some love.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
"While he may not have quite the walking-car-crash charisma of the woman he’s set to replace, in many ways Markwayne Mullin is a perfectly emblematic pick to run a huge and consequential cabinet department in the second Trump presidency."
Good chance DHS will be even worse.
Texas NEEDS To Be Blue 💙🌊🦋💙
Senator Richard Blumenthal states that Trump is misleading Americans and should know better when it comes to the sale of Tomahawk missiles.
One parent who testified, Danielle Tirevold, who is a registered nurse, recognized her daughter was in cardiac arrest and said she performed CPR for so long her knees bled until an AED arrived to shock her back to life. She said she had to correct the first responders about proper AED placement.
That's alot of departing soldiers! "Part of" is doing some heavy lifting.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Remember when JD Vance said Kamala Harris would send our young to die in stupid wars, and if you didn’t want that to happen, you had to vote for Trump?
Seven U.S. troops have died in Trump’s war of choice.
This aged like gas station sushi.
By analyzing records obtained by @deportationdata.org, I found that the total number of people who have experienced ICE detention in the first 9 months of the Trump admin amounts to the population of a mid-sized city.
TIL Trump didn't bother to refill the strategic petroleum reserve last year when oil was dirt cheap. what can you even say www.ft.com/content/d546...

They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda
Oh nothing, just Trump casually confessing to war crimes while the audience laughs like it’s open mic night.
👀 OMFG!
The federal regulatory agency tasked with keeping America’s nuclear power plants safe and running smoothly is set to make huge cuts to the amount of time its staffers spend on safety and emergency inspections, opening the door for to more self-policing from the industry. https://cnn.it/4rlFKbS
