Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud." Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. The "law and order" president.

Unreal

Remember folks, Stephen Miller said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents" and J.D. Vance retweeted it

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

At this rate, he'll have to release the Epstein files to get people to stop talking about Minnesota.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

I'm wondering if you are then disarmed completely by law enforcement and 7 agents are pinning you to the ground, at what point then do you assume the risk of being shot 10 times?

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...

Monday would be a great day for someone to leak the full Epstein files.

Meanwhile in Texas Thank you!

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Rep. Eli Crane: "I think it's a communist insurrection. I really do. And I do think the president should invoke the Insurrection Act. The House Freedom Caucus is going to be pushing that up the chain of command this week."

I looked into Cities Church, which was protested for having an ICE agent as a pastor. You already thought they were right-wing. But they're far worse than you thought. They're ground zero for the "empathy is a sin" idea, among others. www.salon.com/2026/01/26/p...

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald. He nails it here, though.

Leavitt lies: "Let's be clear about the circumstances which led to that moment on Saturday. This tragedy occurred as a result of a deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders in Minnesota."

Leavitt: "He still has confidence and trust in Secretary Noem"

Also, we didn't need a Space Force.

Bovino being run out of town is the biggest L for Nazis since the Battle of Berlin

Trump tried to break the Twin Cities but we stood strong, and now *they* are backing down. Makes me feel proud to live here.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

John Fetterman’s wife Gisele posted this in response to last week’s killing by federal agents in Minneapolis. Incredibly, the senator himself has not yet said anything publicly or issued any statements.

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

Is there NO ONE who has standing to sue the government to force the release of the Epstein files??? It’s a damn law!

Let them eat cake

Pratchettism.

Hardboiled Monday.

Monday Punday.

Monday Punday.

“None of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, and I could tell the victim was in critical condition. I insisted that the agents let me assess him… I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

Noem is lying "An individual approached US Border Patrol Officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun," Noem told reporters. "The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."

One of the dumbest people in Congress. Comer suggested the "people of Minnesota would rebel" against state & local leadership if federal agents were to leave, despite the weeks of protests demanding they leave and voicing fury over the killings of Good and Pretti.

Morning coffee. It's 18 outside, but the wind has stopped. Icy conditions outside, coffee conditions inside.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life. But 5 minutes later….
