“You and your office must restore the rule of law, support ICE officers, and bring an end to the chaos in Minnesota,” Bondi wrote in a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) obtained by multiple outlets. “Fortunately, there are common sense solutions to these problems that I hope we can accomplish together.”

In the letter, Bondi pressed Walz to hand over information about the state’s welfare programs amid mounting scrutiny over a massive fraud scandal, get rid of immigration sanctuary policies and let the Department of Justice see voter rolls “to confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law.”

Funny how she doesn't notice the gang of thugs going door to door kidnapping people, disappearing people, denying people emergency medical care, beating people, murdering people on camera in broad daylight, and so on. She really should look there if she's worried about rule of law.

But of course she isn't. It's becoming clear that this administration is building lists of their opponents and those they consider genetically or racially inferior, and when they have the forces in place they plan to start eliminating them. They're making lists of trans people, autistic people, Jews, protestors, and Democratic voters, among others. They're not planning to use these lists to uphold anything people would recognize as the rule of law.

So Bondi willfully admits she's breaking the law in order to blackmail states into doing what the administration wants.

Sounds like a protection racket to me

Even in a world where what Bondi says is accurate, that ilegal immigrants are uniquely fraudulent in Minnesota in particular, how does looking at medicaid records, and snap records, and voter roles help? Can illegal immigrants even register to vote? Aren't they famously, eponymously, undocumented? And besides all that, what the hell does this have to do with the shootings? They were both American citizens, and neither are being accused even by the lie factory of defrauding anyone?

They always play the victim, and spam the debate with red herrings and jingoistic gibberish, which is annoying enough at face value, but I find it really obnoxious how effective it seems to be.
