DFL caucus in Minneapolis Coming Up - 5 leftards competing
[MSN] State of play: Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is vying against five challengers for the endorsement: State Sen. Omar Fateh, Council Member Emily Koski, the Rev. DeWayne Davis, Jazz Hampton and Brenda Short.

The big picture: Left-wing groups are hoping to build on a successful 2023 election that emboldened Frey's critics on the City Council, giving them the votes to rewrite the budget and enact other priorities without the mayor's support.

Frey has pitched himself and his council allies as practical moderates more interested in delivering on core services than ideologically driven "messaging" legislation
...........................................
The so-called moderate Frey (unlike others he didn't want to decimate the police - only demoralize them) may be helped by having 4 further lefties against him. Sort of the reverse of the NYC situation.

Government Corruption
Here We Go. Obama Under Investigation for Corruption Scandal
[GatewayPundit] FBI Director Kash Patel has launched a "Grand Criminal Conspiracy" investigation into the decade-long weaponization of the federal government — a probe that specifically circumvents the statute of limitations, allowing Sherlocks to finally pursue justice for long-buried crimes.

According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama
I am the change that you seek...
, John Brennan
...director of the CIA under the Obama administration. One of the deeper dwelling denizens of the Deep State, probably the guy who lit the match that launched the Russiagate coup attempt...
, James Clapper, James The spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey
The disgraced, except in his own mind, former head of the FBI...
, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024.

But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks to none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own raid on Mar-a-Lago.
File under Petard, Own, Hoisted By. Every blessed thing the Trump team does proves the universe exists independent of my imagination.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Solomon teased that within the next 10 days, bombshell revelations would be made public — possibly exposing how weaponized federal agencies colluded to rig the political landscape against Trump and deceive the American people.

Trump administration fires 17 immigration court judges across ten states
[APNEWS] Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants colonists in the country.

The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, which represents immigration court judges as well as other professionals, said in a news release that 15 judges were fired ''without cause'' on Friday and another two on Monday. The union said they were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

''It's outrageous and against the public interest that at the same time Congress has authorized 800 immigration judges, we are firing large numbers of immigration judges without cause,'' said the union's President Matt Biggs. ''This is nonsensical. The answer is to stop firing and start hiring.''

Firings come with courts at the center of administration efforts

The firings come as the courts have been increasingly at the center of the Trump administration's hardline immigration enforcement efforts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arresting immigrants colonists as they appear at court for proceedings.

A spokeswoman for the Executive Office of Immigration Review, which is the part of the Justice Department that oversees the courts, said in an email that the office would not comment on the firings.

The large-scale arrests began in May and have unleashed fear among asylum-seekers and immigrants colonists appearing in court. In what has become a familiar scene, a judge will grant a government lawyer's request to dismiss deportation proceedings against an immigrant. Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch cautiously raised his hat over the edge of the horse trough on the end of a stick......
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are waiting in the hallway to arrest the person and put them on a fast track to deportation as soon as he or she leaves the courtroom.
