What's it going to take before Americans rise and remove Trump? He's already a known rapist and criminal who incited insurrection, who is killing people, who empowers our enemies, and he's committing acts of war, overthrowing foreign powers, using the military against citizens... What's it take?

Rolling back routine childhood vaccine guidance puts children at risk. Period. While WA plans to stick with the old one, this national move threatens decades of progress protecting kids from preventable illness. We must listen to experts and science, not conspiracy theorists.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it.

This is what policy looks like when it pulls the trigger. When power enters daily life with a gun, death follows. This was not just tragic. It was designed to instill fear.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
