The North Star State cannot keep itself out of the national headlines. As I’ve written a couple of times today, “managed disorder” is part of the Minnesota Democrats’ governing strategy.
If their rank-and-file voters can remain whipped up about Donald Trump (or whatever), then they are less likely to focus on the Democrats’ catastrophic policy and management failures. Unfortunately, this strategy has the unintended (?) side effect of destroying the Minnesota brand.
- Reuters: Homeland Security to send hundreds more officers to Minnesota, Noem says.
- CBS News: Rep. Ilhan Omar says federal probe into Minnesota’s welfare fraud is “creating confusion and chaos”
- Los Angeles Times (AP): Minnesota braces for what’s next after immigration arrests and the killing of Renee Good
- The Hill: Frey says ‘everybody could have done more to prevent fraud’ in Minnesota
- New York Post: Minnesota ICE operation continues, netting 10 killers, violent child rapists — but lefty pols want agents out
The lowlight of the day for me (so far) is this headline from NBC News,
How ICE raids in Minnesota connect to a years-old fraud scandal
The Trump administration is using a years-old scandal first prosecuted under the Biden administration to justify its immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
NBC is, of course, referring to the Feeding Our Future scandal. NBC wants you to believe that the current crackdown is a punitive effort based on a flimsy pretext of fraud that the Democrats had solved years ago. They are lying to you.
