NEW: After a tense standoff with armed agents, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison were blocked from entering the ICE HQ in Minnesota.

This is explicitly against a court ruling that officials must follow the law and let lawmakers conduct such oversight visits.

i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces.

remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.
New federal dietary guidelines give federal approval to beef tallow, a fat that both cardiologists and the U.S. government told Americans to avoid for nearly half a century.

"The Department of Homeland Security is one of those changes of government, a reaction to 9/11 interwoven with the militarization of American society caused by the Iraq War, that got us to this bad point [...] It was a bad idea. Time to undo it."

He switches his phone to his left hand to free up his right hand a full 10 seconds before shots were fired. He already intended to draw his weapon at that point.

He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.
That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right.

I've slowed the video down here.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Indeed. All of the abuses that liberals warned about when the Department of Homeland Security was created in the wake of 9/11 have come to pass. And then some.
"What was clear from DHS’s creation was that that power could all be directed and concentrated toward some corrupt or illegitimate purpose. And that, among many other things, is what we’ve seen over the last year."

Dude has some stones. And I wonder how many jobs that agent has been fired from before this sweet gig.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

🚨ICE agents protected a white supremacist at MN protest after the killing of Renee Nicole Good.

"These are American patriots behind me! We're gonna deport all you sons of bit*hes! These people will not continue to intimidate us in OUR country! We executed one of you yesterday!"

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."

Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

"In the eyes of the state and its agents, all of the rest of us are walking around with a standing presumption, not just of guilt, but of murderous intent. Anything but total and immediate submission is domestic terrorism."
