While talking about Alex Pretti, Trump suggests he feels even worse about Renee Good because her parents were Trump fans.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A reminder that Tom Homan (now in charge of ICE in Minnesota) took a $50k bribe from an undercover FBI agent before Trump killed the investigation. Homan was never Senate confirmed because he’s a caricature of corruption. His appointment and authority is illegal.

Trump’s threats to seize Greenland hand Vladimir Putin exactly what he wants.
Putin has worked to weaken NATO, and now a U.S. president is openly bullying a NATO ally, Denmark.
The Kremlin is barely hiding its delight and comparing a U.S. grab of Greenland to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.

The Trumps have generated about $1.4 billion from crypto projects that are new to his second term, a Bloomberg analysis shows. These have gotten a boost from Trump’s own policies, as he has signed crypto legislation and appointed regulators who tossed out lawsuits against the industry.

Rick speaking like this should be noted. This is not how he posts.
Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"
