MAGA politics is an ongoing triangulation between what crooks and bigots want and what the rest of us will tolerate. That's why you're seeing such a desperate pivot after Trump's thugs executed a man on a Minneapolis street. The MAGA pols don't oppose it – they just know it looks bad.

I suspect Trump's advisers are urging him to kill some foreigners to distract from his killing of Americans.

Trump can fire Bovino to save himself and he may even fire Noem to save himself, but this country won’t be saved until we fire Trump.
Keep going, resisters. We’re going to win in the end.

Russian state TV: “I can’t rule out an alliance between Russia & 🇺🇸— Americans have just demonstrated they won’t protect anything.”
They fantasize about attacking Europe now that Trump destroyed NATO — and push Trumpian disinfo about Alex Pretti & Minnesota.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's obviously far from the most important thing here, but the fact that Trump would be pointing his finger at another politician over accusations of personally enriching themselves in office is perhaps the most jaw-dropping hypocrisy in this history of jaw-dropping hypocrisy.

Video evidence could be the undoing of this monstrous administration. I know there's plenty of AI slop being used to muddy the waters but Americans seem to know the real thing when they see it and it's ugly as hell.
WELKER: Look at these images. A protester on the ground being pepper sprayed. A 5-year-old being detained. A citizen being pulled out of his home half naked, later released upon determination he was wrongly detained. Are federal agents acting humanely?
