New: Gunmaker Sig Sauer is lobbying Florida lawmakers for protection from lawsuits following claims that one of its guns fires without anyone pulling the trigger. The company also just dropped $300K on key legislators – including $50K each for the House Speaker, Senate President and a bill sponsor.

IYKYK

People are telling me that, when Trump is in deep trouble on his signature issue, and the majority has moved so far left they now adopt the 'radical' position of abolishing ICE, the savvy play for Schumer is to immediately find the quickest and easiest compromise that will save the GOP. I disagree.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

I would still like the name of the man that shot Pretti.

Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

The Washpost won’t send its baseball writers to spring training?? We’re talking $200 plane tickets to West Palm. Rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn. Cheeseburgers at Wendy’s. All beyond Bezos’s budget. (Via a longtime, now former, Post media reporter who’s at the NY Times)

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Trump can fire Bovino to save himself and he may even fire Noem to save himself, but this country won’t be saved until we fire Trump. Keep going, resisters. We’re going to win in the end.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”

this isn't The Big Win but it is a big win and people should feel great about it.

This is great but means nothing long-term if he isn’t prosecuted. He oversaw public executions, engaged in domestic terrorism and lied about it under oath, etc etc. If he gets away with it there will be no deterrent for the next guy who tries to do a white nationalist purge.

Bovino was not just following orders but he’s no rogue - like everyone in this murderous lawless admin he must be held totally responsible for his words and deeds & that should not get any higher ups off the hook but have the opposite effect. He served as he was let go: at the president’s pleasure.

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months. He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

the simple truth remains that republicans are a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Dutch retirement (n.) — a post-career involuntary stay in confinement at the direction of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. (example: “I wish Greg Bovino a fantastic Dutch retirement.”)

Crew members say the worst part of working on Amazon’s new Melania Trump documentary wasn’t promoting the administration — it was working with accused sex pest Brett Ratner. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

all dressed up and nowhere to go

They took away his right to post. Not sure there's a bigger punishment in the MAGA universe.

Remember (as someone reminded me last week...) Bovino had claimed in court that he doesn't run his own social media accounts, even though it seemed pretty clear that he did.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

There's been a lot of discussion about the echoes of the civil rights movement in the protests today, with people obviously drawing comparisons between the strategies, tactics and coalitions that were vital then and are still vital now. But this post has me thinking about a different echo ...

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

I have numerous complaints about Ro Khanna, but he took his ass to Minneapolis and seems genuinely pissed off and that’s what I want to see from every Democrat in Congress right now

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

The pattern was designed by a Minneapolis yarn store. All sales are going to local immigrant aid organizations. They've raised over $125,000 (!!!) since the knitting pattern was posted a few days ago. 👏That's👏community👏action👏

It's not that Congress isn't powerless, Congress is actually supreme on this matter. It could end whatever it wanted to right now.

Trump backing down to public pressure is a good thing. But let's be clear. Noem, Miller, Bovino, etc. all followed his lead. He called protesters terrorists. He dehumanized Somali immigrants. He lied about Good and Pretti. He owns all of it. He'll also probably change his mind tomorrow.

I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

The people of Minneapolis won, and this entire country owes a debt to them for it

As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.

I don't think it's that they've suddenly grown a conscience; it's that they don't trust ICE not to shoot one of their own.

The administration is "deeply frustrated"? To my mind, Noem/Bovino carried out what the White House wanted (see statements from Miller absolving ICE and smearing Good and Pretti), and now that its backfired, they are being used by Trump as scapegoats to absolve the WH of accountability. Dont forget.

One thing I hope people take the time to acknowledge: The sea change in public opinion has been achieved because violence, though encourage by a lot of people here online, was never once employed by the movement. Violence was solely the purview of the state and that is why the state is losing.

Normal thing for a major urban American newspaper to have to post.

A few days ago, Rep. Laura Gillen was one of 7 House Democrats who voted with Republicans to fund DHS without the policy changes most Dems wanted. Now she’s calling for impeaching Kristi Noem. Politics are rapidly shifting here.

When you think about it, pretty pathological that media firms basically just have horserace campaign politics journalists covering Trump when they have democracy and rule of law experts covering Orbán, Putin, etc

New Noem impeachment co-sponsors today: AOC, Neguse, DelBene, Garcia, Scott (Va.), Horsford, Hayes, Landsman, Peters, Norton, Auchincloss, Latimer, Crow, Soto, Walkinshaw, Meng, Ruiz, Castor, Ross, Levin, Cisneros It's at 140 — nearly 2/3 of the caucus @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/01/26/k...

Trump trying to distance himself from the Trump administration

This is advance propaganda for WH to make Noem take the fall

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

1/2 Contrary to recent rhetoric from DHS, the law is clear: ICE agents generally cannot enter a home without a judicial warrant.

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Is it really a “clash over the facts”?

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
