DHS has put out a story that Renee & Becca Good had "followed around" ICE agents "all day." That always raised questions since incident occurred circa 9:30 a.m. Family lawyers say they hadn't followed anyone but were driving home from school dropoff "when they spotted federal agents and stopped."

Recently, Donald Trump told us how he really feels about the midterms: “When you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms.” His conclusion was stark: “We shouldn’t even have an election.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Trump’s call to cancel elections must be a wake-up call

Just another reason why the President of the United States must not be “involved” in decisions about approving megamergers.

It’s simple: Any review needs to be based on the law and facts — not Donald Trump’s political opinions and personal investments.

This is so ridiculous, because the very first of the large scale operations in Los Angeles led to the widely publicized, burning and destruction of multiple police vehicles!

Meanwhile, the most “violent” thing to happen in Minneapolis *done by protesters* was a car got broken into late at night.
Kristi Noem: "When we did these operations in other cities across the country, we didn't see this kind of violence. We didn't see organized, funded protesters come in to conduct acts of violence against our law enforcement officers like we're seeing in Minneapolis."

Per @brianstelter.bsky.social, the 60 MINUTES segment pulled by Bari Weiss is scheduled to air today, with zero advance promotion. But rather than getting the NFL lead-in it would've gotten in December, it will now air opposite an NFL division championship game on NBC. Doubt the timing is accidental

Are Trump's ICE thugs actually paid provocateurs?
As thousands of ICE and Border Patrol officers flood Minneapolis, some Democratic leaders say the Department of Homeland Security’s role appears to have strayed far from its original purpose, turning its tools of enforcement away from external threats and toward President Trump’s domestic critics.

The Department of Homeland Security was formed after 9/11 amid international terrorism threats. Now, its most visible targets are domestic.

For the first time since Trump renewed his campaign to take over Greenland, people across the island braved freezing temperatures in coordinated protests.

Demonstrators waved Greenlandic flags. Some openly cried in the rain.

Those saying "justified" also think the woman was using her car to run over the ICE officer, which is not the case.
