#Trump & his aides have often lamented that not enough was done by #Minnesota’s governor to *quell* #protests over the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd in 2020. During a campaign rally in 2023, Trump made clear he was not going to hold back in a 2nd term. “You’re supposed to not be involved in that, you just have to be asked by the governor or the mayor to come in—the next time, I’m not waiting,” he said.

#PBS sued #Trump on Friday to block an #ExecutiveOrder that would cut federal #funding for public television & radio, arguing that it was #unconstitutional.

The lawsuit, filed in DC by PBS & a public TV station in #Minnesota, says that Trump’s EO violates laws that “forbid the President from serving as the arbiter of the #content of PBS’s programming, including by attempting to defund PBS.”

#Louisville & #Minneapolis were the 2 most high-profile cities to be investigated during former Democratic President Joe #Biden's admin for systemic #police #abuse, & were the only 2 cities that agreed in principle to enter into a court-approved settlement with the #DOJ known as a consent decree.

Minneapolis also separately entered a similar type of settlement with the state of #Minnesota to reform its police practices.
