Two communities seeking cleaner, cheaper energy are resisting pressure to extend deals that bind them to getting power from one of the nation’s dirtiest plants.

 

Minnesota has a lower fraud rate in these programs than the country as a whole, so this is just revenge for forcing ICE to do a partial pullout.

A Block Club investigation found dozens of protesters arrested by state police are still facing criminal charges for minor infractions, such as sitting on a concrete barrier — even after Gov. JB Pritzker vowed to protect their First Amendment rights.

 

When he was first released, he says some of his documents — including his identification and work permit — were not immediately returned to him.

For a couple of weeks, he says he felt stuck. Without identification, he was afraid to move around freely. Without his work permit in hand, he couldn’t return to work.

An explanation of the legislation on an archived page from the Treasury’s website noted that the act “was caused by an uproar over the actions of the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Spencer Clark,” who had “placed himself on a five-cent note and had a large quantity of them printed before it was noticed.”

My understanding is that it comes from watching B roll of other protests on Fox

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."
