Hi, dear listeners, this is Kate Riga. I'm here to make a quick pitch that you consider becoming a

TPM Prime member. TPM has used the member model for over a decade now, and our loyal members are the

only reason we've been able to weather the turbulence of the media landscape and avoid the fate

that has befallen so many other independent outlets. For $70, you get no paywall, fewer ads, access to the Hive member forum, a

member's only newsletter, and more. For $140 a year, you get all of that, plus no ads at all.

Without our members, there is no podcast, not to mention that I'm out of a job. Thank you so much

for listening and supporting us. We couldn't do it without you. Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall podcast featuring Kate Riga.

Today, we are going to talk about the situation in Minnesota and ICE and these new threats about using the Insurrection Act,

which, you know, President Trump seems to, I may be dating myself a little bit, but, you know,

for those of us at a certain age, maybe there's a younger version of this too, but, you know,

you used to have the with the super friends, they had the Wonder Twins, right? And the Wonder Twins

who do these things where they give each other like a fist bump.

And they would say Wonder Twin Powers activate, right?

And they would say like, you know, form of an ice castle or a, I don't know, a such and such.

And clearly Donald Trump thinks that the Insurrection Act is sort of like, you know, take the form of an all-powerful military dictator.

Right.

And just whenever the president wants to sort of like, you know, pull that lever, it's on.

And it's not exactly, that's actually not what it says.

So we're going to get into that.

We're going to get into the unfolding situation in Minnesota.

And the situation in Venezuela, which I have still had a very hard time understanding,

even at the most basic level, what's actually happening there and in Greenland.
