Because Trump does so many outlandish or abusive things, and because it's less invisible, I think we underappreciate the extent to which incompetence makes the federal government terrible at basic operation www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Counterpoint: -No it isn't. -And yes you are.

It’s true, every bureaucratic decision interposed between the person and voting (as to whether citizenship is proven, whether names in database match up) is an opportunity for mischief or arbitrary behavior.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Members of Congress confirm that the “unredacted” Epstein files remain redacted because deranged MAGA scumbag Kash Patel had the FBI scrub them back in March and gave the redacted copies to bribe for hire Pam Bondi. The biggest cover up in US history. They should be in jail.

Our opponents’ biggest weakness is that they have no impulse control and will double down forever, no matter how bad of an idea it is. Every mistake becomes a Vietnam War-level unpopular quagmire. They can’t help themselves.

Speaking of DHS becoming toxic:

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.” share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

then your job is to take the charge

Notably the feds are not murdering dispatchers, they're murdering people who are following them around, because they are murdering people in spasms of thuggish violence rather than as part of a calculated strategy of death squads or whatever you imagine it to be.
