Oh wow. That there is serious change from the usual bluster and bombast from the WH. Shrump's about to throw some people under some buses.
NBC: Why did administration officials jump to conclusions on Pretti before an investigation had even been conducted?
LEAVITT: This has obviously been a very fluid and fast moving situation

I dunno, as a Canadian watching this from the outside it still seems like it's also about hatred of immigrants, or anyone who looks like they might be an immigrant, or anyone who doesn't hate immigrants.
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Non-ICE LEOs will be sewing Canadian flags to their vests soon.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

How do you talk for 17 minutes about the changing world order and not at any point name Trump or even the US directly? Even when the moderator brings them up, Carney never utters the name.
Seriously. World leaders need to stop being circumspect about who is at fault.

Really good speech from Carney at the World Economic Forum today.
Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States.

Trump's Iceland ambassador pick made a '52nd state' joke. Icelanders aren't laughing | CBC News
When Trump's pick for U.S. ambassador to Iceland joked this week that the Nordic country should become the 52nd state, and he should be its governor, it didn't exactly go down well.

Nah. Dems will continue to roll over in the interest of restoring bipartisanship, and the GOP will happily go along with that until their next chance to destroy everything again. "One step forward, ten steps back" should be the US's new motto.

The Epstein files probably provide a pretty solid list of people ICE *should* be terrorizing.

Some things are both true and false at the same time. e.g., "half a dozen" is less precise than "six".

Sure, but last year they found The Droneald to be "credible" when saying it would bring costs down, so forgive me if I don't trust American voters' judgement.
Elizabeth Warren on the Democratic Party: "Read the room. If you're looking at a room of anything other than very wealthy donors, what the American people are telling us over and over is 'I'm voting for the candidate who credibly says they will lower costs for me.'"
