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.

No matter how many people you kill, we still won't forget about the Epstein files.

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.

Of course they will. As long as ICE doesn’t bother @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s donors they can do whatever they want.

Republican ex-congressman Trey Gowdy: “Kyle Rittenhouse was made a hero on the right… Alex Pretti’s gun was lawfully being carried. He never brandished it. And we certainly should not be labeling him a domestic terrorist who was going to execute cops.”

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.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Remember this guy, (Kyle Rittenhouse) who became a MAGA hero, who Trump invited to Mar-a-Lago after he killed two protesters at a rally protesting the killing of a black man by Police in Wisconsin.

Trump will try anything to try to stay in power by either stopping or corrupting the upcoming midterm elections, just as he tried in the 2020 election! (Gift Article!!)

For example, "Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in which she said that ICE would leave his state if, among a couple of other demands, he allowed DOJ access to its voter rolls."

Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

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.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

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?

BLANCHE: Yes. Our agents are acting humanely

We asked my brother in law, who did two tours of duty in the Middle East with the Army, if he had seen yesterday’s video and he said “If I had done that in Afghanistan it would have literally and legally been a war crime.”

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
