The tl;dr of this report is not that these administration officials are upset about ICE having murdered Renee Good; it's that even these goons realize Noem's lies about the murder were so poorly crafted that people aren't going to believe all the other lies the administration tells the public.

Just to be clear, Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley proposed a bill in the Senate a year ago, along with AOC and Luna in the House, to cap interest rates on credit cards at 10%. It is nice that Trump has suddenly decided to get on board with it in an election year.

Vance and MAGA decided to push all their chips into the middle of the table and put a big bet down on the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, thinking that the public was going to side with him that Renee Good put his life in danger and he merely acted in self-defense. Dumb move.
