This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

I think many of us are guilty of thinking of government service systems (e.g. healthcare, CRA) only as a group of people and we don't give enough thought to all the flawed processes that make up the systems so I'm not sure how letting people go from systems with flawed processes saves us anything.

As I cover, the threats and firings after Charlie Kirk’s death are a great example.
They thought they could force us to like him.
Instead, he has become a joke, as has his widow. It backfired big time.
