we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Strangely, Lewandowski is the biggest backer of Noem…or maybe it’s the other way around.

I was very lucky to draw a story and be INKED by Sal! I got to call him and gush at him for a bit. My favorite comment was him saying he only ever wanted to ink, "but Stan kept bugging me to pencil issues"

To the fine people of Minnesota, You can lure Homan out of your city with a carefully placed trail of CAVA bags.

His Hulk is my Hulk. Thanks for contributing to our imaginations all these years with your incredible talent.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

This exchange in Ben Terris’s story on Trump’s health, his view on mortality and legacy, and his Cabinet’s contest to say the most over-the-top thing about his physical prowess. nymag.com/intelligence...

Would love to see all of the communications between The White House and Fox News this weekend to see who won the contest of the best spin to feed the American people about the murder of one of their own by federal agents.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Republican Leader Rejects 2nd Amendment

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

HEY MEDIA: I think when pro sports teams are holding memorials for the people the administration has declared terrorists, it’s safe to drop the “accounts differ” pretense and move on to “the administration attempts to smear the man it murdered”

Country over party and party over MAGA. 🇺🇸

We have reached the point where a judge literally has to order federal law enforcement officials not to destroy or mess with evidence from a homicide scene.

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I keep having the reoccurring thought that if you are a person that wakes up in the morning and goes to bed at night thinking about your “enemies”, you are just a shitty person.

As predicted: the stabilized footage has pretty much immediately become a significant issue for the federal government here.

"We're not messing around"

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I needed a palette cleanser tonight and here it is. My favorite player, Pavel Datsyuk.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

At first glance, I found three rapists on that list (including the President).

But how will we know how many hours they’ve logged on Call of Duty?

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Not “appear to”. They contradict them because Noem, Bovino and DHS are lying.

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

There’s going to be a big kennel reserved for Kristi Noem in Hell.

All they know how to do is lie to you.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Take a moment and let this sink in.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Little bad guy in a Nazi outfit with a gun

Looking forward to the “only Republicans should be armed” arguments.

Not buying it, DHS.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Bovino and Noem really think they're going to break the people's will instead of building up their opposition because they've never cracked a history book apparently or read through to the end. We are going to start talking about The Trials as an inevitable thing that's waiting for them.

Trump & Vance’s agents saw tens of thousands of people — of all ages & races — come out *in below zero temperatures* to protest their tax-funded violence, their murder of their neighbor. And the very next day, they executed another one. What can Americans conclude from this?
