NEW:
Working as a federal prosecutor used to be one of the most apolitical positions in govt.
Now, when you apply for one of the many vacant positions for those posts at DoJ, you're required to weigh in on Trump’s policies.
“How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role?” read one of the queries on an application for a job in the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota.
“Identify one or two relevant executive orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired,” reads another.

Thank you to the @StarTribune and its photographers, reporters and editors for documenting what federal agents are doing to the people of Minnesota. Day in, day out, sometimes in clouds of tear gas, you get the facts and get the photo. You make journalism proud.
The stunning images coming from the streets of Minnesota demand attention in this ongoing crisis. The Minnesota @StarTribune photographers & reporters are documenting this moment for the world to see, and we want to be sure their work travels far.
Today we're rolling out some *new ways* people can spread & support our fact-based journalism.
See them all here: startribune.com/essential-re…
Whether or not you take advantage of any of these, please read and share real journalism in these unprecedented times. The truth matters. 🙏

Post-COVID, transit ridership looks different than it once did all over the U.S. In the TC, our transit recovery lags peers, even as Metro Transit seeks to add and improve service, which experts say are levers to bring riders aboard. w/@KarinaKumar03
