An incredible special election result in St. Paul, MN. Despite ICE’s reign of terror and frigid weather, Dems showed up while GOP support utterly collapsed.
Special election turnout is often low, but I have to wonder how much of this was GOP voters flipping or sitting it out in protest of Trump/ICE

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.

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent
A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
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.

If Dems are squeamish about "abolish," fine, the demand is still simple: zero funding for ICE and CBP.
Pretend you just want a "pause" to "sort it out." Whatever.
But, yeah, "do not vote to fund murder and other rampant lawbreaking by Trump's gestapo" is indeed a "purity test" you must pass.
