That press briefing by JD Vance on the killing of Renee Good was one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen, and pretty much a clear exercise in Orwellian gaslighting.

JD Vance says that ICE agents in Minneapolis were on a "legitimate law enforcement operation," which saw them "going door to door to try to find criminal, illegal aliens and deport them."

Can we just talk about the vice president outright saying that this is what ICE is doing now? Door to door?

Reporter: What responsibility do you and the president have to defuse some of the tension that we are seeing play out in Minnesota, bring down the temperature as this investigation is unfolding?

JD Vance: This is classic terrorism.

Can confirm Jeremy Barr's reporting that Javier Guzman, CBS Evening News' #2 producer, was fired last night -- less than a week into Tony Dokouoil's tenure as anchor.

Sources said that Guzman was accused of undermining EP Kim Harvey to the rank-and-file staff and of leaking to the press.

This is exactly what happens when the feds overstep. kids home, schools unsafe cities under siege and yet some still call it ‘enforcement’ back the people, not the chaos.
Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

“Anyone with half a brain will know that if CBS gets a high-profile Trump administration interview that nobody else has, it’s because CBS has sold out its soul, values and ethics,” a CBS News source told me. “This isn’t journalism. It’s state TV.”

Fox News turns to Nick Sortor to cover the Minneapolis shooting, who then says this:

"We are only blocks away from where the George Floyd situation happened. If you go there nowadays, buildings are still charred; it looks like total destruction, just like it did back then. It has never recovered."

Geraldo Rivera on the ICE shooting: "She didn’t want to hit anybody. She didn't want to run over anybody. To pretend that that was a possibility, given the fact -- I mean, do you believe me or do you believe your lying eyes? Are your lying eyes telling you something that you know is not true?"

If you are the Trump administration and need someone at Fox News to carry your water, Will Cain is your man.

"The driver then hits the gas while another agent appears to be standing in front of the vehicle. That agent, in front of the car, appears to open fire as the car barreled towards him."

And now Trump has weighed in and claims something that the video absolutely doesn't show -- that the ICE agent was "viciously ran over" by the driver, and that "it is hard to believe he is alive."
