The City Council voted 3-2 to install a network of cameras that photographs and logs the license plate of every vehicle entering and leaving the city. What’s missing is the conversation whether city workers and patrons want this. The full story: lataco.com/weho-flock-c... By Nik Roybal

“Last winter, Minnesotans banded together and rejected the harm caused by ill-informed, unplanned and costly federal immigration overreach. As DHS takes steps to reopen Appleton as a federal facility, our response should remain the same: Minnesota is not the place for this.”

Russians stopped at a café in Georgia, where a sign on the door reads: "By entering our restaurant you agree that Putin is a war criminal and respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova." They didn't know "what to make of it" and thought it was a joke.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X:

“The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11

Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states 

Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect"

Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason."

“Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30 

Also has health care extenders 

Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”

Around eight million books were destroyed in Kharkiv yesterday. Many Ukrainians are responding by buying books from the affected publishers and from KnyhoLand, the bookstore chain that also used the warehouse. I bought these today.
