Katie Miller is now jumping in to blame CBP and defend her husband. (All of this shows how vulnerable Stephen Miller is, so we need to keep the pressure on to get him out of the administration.)

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience. Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti. It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

They broke Alex Pretti's rib while he was supporting his neighbors. And then he came right back out the next week. We've had an entire administration cosplaying as warriors, all for the man they just killed to be the realest example of one.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

A NYT narration of the multiple angles of Pretti’s execution shows that he never posed a threat; that ICE brutally instigated violence and Pretti only sought to defend a prone woman; and that two ICE agents shot him 10 times in total. Devastating. Horrific.
