Schumer calls on Thune to put the non-DHS bills to a vote and says enough Democrats will support them: “If Leader Thune puts those five bills on the floor this week, we can pass them right away. If not, Republicans will again be responsible for another government shutdown.”

Remember, Tim Cook gave Trump $1 million for his inauguration, presented him with a 24-carat trophy, and attended a screening of Melania, a $75 million bribe by Jeff Bezos. Right after Trump’s goons murdered a VA nurse in broad daylight.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Backtracking after backlash means backlash works. Also, saying didn't know what you're doing means you shouldn't be in Congress.

Chris Madel didn’t just exit the Minnesota governor race, he walked away from the Republican Party itself, saying he cannot support “retribution” against the people of this state. When punishment replaces governance and fear replaces law, even party insiders bolt.

The cracks are widening🔥

The "hostile resistance" is stuff like Minnesota not allowing the feds to commandeer public parking lots for ICE to stage operations. Not sure how that justifies disarming and executing a VA nurse.
Leavitt lies: "Let's be clear about the circumstances which led to that moment on Saturday. This tragedy occurred as a result of a deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders in Minnesota."

The author rightly draws parallels between what’s happening in Minneapolis and the Jan25th Egyptian revolution in terms of the organic nature of leaderless movements.

I curated Twitter content during the Arab Spring and was close with many participants. Tahrir Square has come to mind often lately.

Fox News once postured as the patriotic opposition to purported government tyranny. Right now, its primary purpose is to explain to viewers why it is good that masked agents of the state are executing Americans on the street. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.

Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever

Bessent: But he brought a gun!
