"'We lost all trust,' a current ICE official added. 'I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.'”
If an ICE official can see there being a world without ICE, there's no reason any of us shouldn't be able to do the same thing.

In this Minnesota special election last night, the Republican's vote share (4%) was just 33% of Trump's 2024 vote share (13%). That's the lowest ratio for R/(last Pres R) we have on record going back to 2017! 1/3
LOL. Despite this being a Harris+71 seat, Democrat Meg Luger-Nikolai won tonight by a *91-point* margin. Easily one of the wildest overperformances we’ve ever seen, given the district’s deep, deep blue lean.
Couple of special elections in very blue districts in the Twin Cities area tonight, though only one is contested. It's a +71 Harris seat, so hard for Democrats to overperform when the margins are already so lopsided, but we'll see.
