"In theater" is a nice touch for describing Minneapolis. Worth noting the people involved, from Trump to Miller to Noem to Homan to Bovino to the majority of ICE and CBP goons, have never served in the military. They're playing out a war fantasy, dressing up in army costumes, like incredible losers.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

The walked to the lectern patting themselves on the back, “bang up job we did on this one! The wokes are gunna love it!”
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

This man is a saint and I’ll have words with anyone who suggests otherwise.
Amid the snowstorm, José Andrés’ nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, which provides food to communities in crisis all over the world, partnered with local restaurants to provide meals to shelters in Montgomery County and the greater D.C. area.

So yes.
Key moments from Bari Weiss' Q&A at CBS News' town hall.

First question was about whether CBS News "has become a right-wing network."

ICE/CBP swarms into Minnesota after reports of massive government fraud.
Somehow they sidestepped the orders-of-magnitude higher government fraud from Minnesota-based UnitedHealth, who leads a Medicare Advantage fraud that MedPac (a government analyst) estimates as costing America $76 billion/year

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent?

Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

They’ve done the impossible: made us sympathetic to Bill Belichick.
A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

I don't mean this in a “told you so” way, but the day after the “winning in MN” chatter started up we've had an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions today

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I can’t stress enough how quickly this chud would be removed from command for saying this after getting one of his soldiers killed.
NEWSMAX: Are you among the Republicans who are concerned about how things are being handled in MN?

REP. RICH McCORMICK: When things went wrong in the military, when I was in the Marines, people died sometimes, and sometimes it was through no fault of anymore. Just bad circumstance. Mistakes happen

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.
