This time Trump presumably intends to have at his disposal a Pete Hegseth–directed military “sophisticated” enough to ensure he or his chosen successor doesn't lose an election. Enter ICE.
Defang ICE → Save the Midterms
The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

Nope. Absolutely not. Do not give them one quarter while they are still out there.
Tom Homan is at least pretending to look more humble and competent than Greg Bovino, but the federal officers on the ground in Minneapolis are still the largely new, poorly trained, militancy-minded force they were last week.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
