NYTimes: Live Updates: Suspect in Minnesota Attacks Is Detained, Ending Manhunt One state lawmaker was killed and another was wounded in the shootings, and the manhunt for the suspect put Minnesota on edge.

This from the ABC report: "The folks that were escorting me in the building walked me over. I didn't even open the door. The door was opened for me. And I spent a few minutes in the back of the room just listening in until the rhetoric, the political rhetoric got to be too much to take. So, I spoke up," he later added. During her news conference, Noem claimed she was going to "liberate" Los Angeles "from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city." Padilla told MSNBC that he felt he needed to speak out, said he introduced himself and started asking a question before the officers pushed him out of the room as news cameras, reporters and onlookers recorded the incident. After he was quickly released, he and Noem had a private conversation for "10-15 minutes" after the incident, according to both the senator and the secretary. Noem said that Padilla will likely not be charged. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/padilla-pushes-back-noems-claim-barged-news-conference/story?id=122817212

Well whatabout (fill in the blank)

OOPS you are right. Mea Culpa. 2019.

While he says it was because of a teleprompter malfunction, Trump said in his speech today: American forces “took over the airports” during the US War of Independence in the late 18th century." Best wag response I have read as to Paul Revere's ride: One if by land/ Two if by sea/ Three if arriving at Terminal C.

But he's got empathy.

NYTimes headline June 14, 2025: - Inside Trump’s Extraordinary Turnaround on Immigration Raids - President Trump’s decision to pause most raids targeting farms and hospitality workers took many inside the White House by surprise. It came after intensive lobbying by his agriculture secretary.

From NYTimes update bulletin: June 14, 2025, 5:10 p.m. ET Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, a Democrat, said in an interview that the gunman’s target list included her name and the names of other lawmakers, all of whom are Democrats.

per NY Times he did not work for Gov. Walz -- he served with 41 others on an advisory board. Mr. Boelter was appointed to the board in 2016 by Mark Dayton, a Democrat who was then the governor. More recently, he was appointed by Gov. Tim Walz, also a Democrat. The board has 41 members who are appointed by the governor, and its goal is to improve business development in the state. NB this is all in NYT bulletin format.

From NY Times now: David Carlson lives at an address where the police executed a search warrant for the shooting suspect, Vance Boelter. In an interview at this home, Carlson said he and Boelter had been best friends since fourth grade, and he read a text message that the suspect had sent him early this morning, saying he might be dead soon and apologizing. The message did not describe any details of the attacks that unfolded, Carlson said. Carlson said that the suspect worked at a funeral home, owned firearms and had voted for Donald Trump last year. He was a devout Christian who strongly opposed abortion, but had never mentioned either of the lawmakers who were shot, Carlson said, and had generally avoided talking about politics. His friend had been experiencing financial and mental health challenges, Carlson said.

As you said, I am upset.

Thank you . I earned it.

Per the report you replied to many illegals were working long hours at hard jobs so I guess they have to do their criminal stuff in their spare time.

Thank you -- I've done my share and beyond that "I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight".

She was the third largest donor to Trump's 2024 election bid, donating $106 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Adelson -- maybe not behind it enough.

'Wave of panic': Businesses are in crosshairs of Trump immigration crackdown USA TODAY 12 JUN 2025 White House border czar Tom Homan warned this week that “worksite enforcement operations are going to massively expand.” In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump acknowledged that the crackdown was hurting American employers. “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/12/trump-immigration-crackdown-rattles-businesses/84175142007/ At the White House, he told reporters he would issue an order to help address worker shortages brought on by raids of farm and hotel workers.

Well if that is true, why did he need to invoke this wartime act via proclamation:
