Sen Rand Paul's opening is good. Wow. I have not watched the rest, yet, but I plan to scan through what is tolerable.
I doubt I can listen to Emmer. He is just gross.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold a full oversight hearing on immigration enforcement starting at 8 a.m. CT.

The first panel includes four Minnesota witnesses: Rep. Tom Emmer, Attorney General Keith Ellison, State Rep. Harry Niska, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell.

The second panel consists of federal witnesses, including the Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, a senior official with ICE, and the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

4. I certainly hope the MN GOP gets their ass handed to them

After everything that has gone down in 2026 I can’t fathom how any resident of MN would want the GOP to further ruin the state.
