ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.
They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.

NEW: SCOTUS appears ready to give Trump greater firing powers, over sharp liberal warnings.
The Republican appointees are almost certain to overturn a 90-year precedent, as Trump wants. Pushing back, Sotomayor told DOJ: “You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government.”

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously

2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying
both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

I have no idea how sincere MTG is here, but the idea that Trump would be bothered by his comments generating death threats misses the point that he has used terror as as a tool.
Terror is not a byproduct of Trumpism; it is a central feature of how he governs.
