Jihad-Rep Ilhan Omar’s neck of the woods:

A mob of eight to 10 males wielding hammers descended upon bystanders at the East Bank Light Rail station on Friday night injuring several, according to recorded police dispatch audio.

The incident was apparently reported to 911 just University of Minnesota (U of M) police were requesting assistance from Minneapolis police (MPD) and Metro Transit police for “a group of 8-10 males chasing people with hammers” and that some people were injured. before 10 p.m. on Friday.

A person who claimed on social media to have been at the station when the incident occurred said that the group of males had “hammers and bars,” and that they seemed to be “attacking anyone who looked like they had money or were white.”

The witness, who said he isn’t white, said he didn’t want to “[take] on a bunch of dudes with blunt objects,” and that he “hurried an older white lady away” and they walked a few blocks to catch a bus.

GOP is pressing PDJT on a two-year spending deal when they meet with his top advisers at a meeting scheduled in the Capitol today.

Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer and McCarthy hope to break the budget stalemate when they meet in Pelosi’s office at 10:30 a.m.

McConnell and McCarthy are eager to strike a deal to avoid the prospect of another government shutdown, even if it means giving Democrats an increase in domestic nondefense spending, which most Republicans would otherwise oppose.

“It’s better politically, but it’s bad for the responsibilities we have of fiscal conservativism,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley.

Steven Mnuchin, Mick Mulvaney and Russell Vought will represent Trump’s position and enter the meeting skeptical of a two-year deal that will draw criticism from the GOP’s conservative base.

They will push for sticking to the 2020 spending caps set by the 2011 Budget Control Act, which would effectively cut spending compared to 2011 levels, or for a one-year spending deal, which would cause less sticker shock than a two-year agreement, according to sources familiar with the White House position.

A thorny question for Republicans is whether to insist on spending reforms in exchange for increasing the nation’s borrowing authority.

"It’s always a mistake to give the government more money to borrow and more room to borrow without reforming the way we spend it,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). “You can’t just run a deficit perpetually — and your interest payments are crowding out everything.

Senate Republicans are siding with Democrats in saying that it makes sense to take care of spending caps and the debt ceiling in the same deal.

The Trump budget calls for cutting regular spending to the fiscal 2020 levels set by the 2011 Budget Control Act and increasing defense spending through the overseas contingency operations fund, which is not subject to budget caps.

Rachel Bovard of CPI said White House priorities to rein in spending are “completely being ignored” by congressional leaders who “want to blow the deficit with a two-year caps deal.”
