"There's a man with a gun over there, Telling me I got to beware." Stephen Stills, 1966. True in 1966, worse in 2026.

Wait, either CBS is lying, because that is their new strategy as we all have seen, or this ICE asshole is in such bad shape he got internal injuries pulling the trigger multiple times at an innocent US citizen. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

I am going with CBS is lying #CBS

Poor FOX News. Not the sound bite they were looking for.
FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?

Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests

FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?

Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

ICE blocked Minnesota officials from investigating their shooting of Renee Good.

Trump and the GOP have blocked and overly redacted the Epstein files.

This is not the behavior of innocent people. This is the behavior of criminals engaged in a cover-up.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.”

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

The DEI is coming from inside the house. It's him haranguing and firing the whole of the federal government so it can be "inclusive" of people who paid him off.
Media framing of events is a choice. Trump frames event in way that I think most reporters understand is nonsense.
Don't have to repeat it.

There is a real story about what happens to state capacity over the next 4 years that is better told through specific events like this rather than in abstract.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
