Wondering if people who don't live in DC get how utterly, hilariously delusional this is.
Trump says he's made it possible for people to "walk to the White House instead of getting into an Uber and getting mugged even as the Uber progresses"

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

The quote that launched a million campaign ads
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

"You know, I believe that the Twin Cities represents the best of America on a fundamental level."
"Why is that & how so?"
"Because we represent this idea of embracing others from other places."
Minnesotans are enacting a powerful vision of America in the face of authoritarian state violence.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

SCOTUS let an insurrectionist run for president again and then gave him criminal immunity for his “official acts.” Everything flows from that.
What authority does ICE have to arrest or detain citizens who witnessed a homicide?
Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

The epitome of a “Kavanaugh Stop.”
“[CBP] sometimes makes brief investigative stops to check immigration status…. If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a US citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.”
History will remember Brett.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

It is deeply counter to the whole very basic concept of this nation that its citizens can be taxed and then have funding withheld punitively because the person exercising the power of the presidency decides on a whim to do so.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Q: You've talked about returning some control to American companies. Did that play at all into your decision to capture Maduro?
