The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Seems like this will render university degrees irrelevant in short order

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

look if someone, somewhere misuses public funds that's proof we no longer need a welfare state. But if a right wing figure uses public funds for corrupt purposes well, he's just entitled, right?

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has beenβ€”and still isβ€”under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population. 'War' is the operative word here."

Your guy’s immigration policy is wildly unpopular. No one wants a lawless ICE, tear-gassing schools, disappearing legal immigrants, and murdering American citizens. Not a single one of us should vote to fund a part of the government this off the rails.

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

Appreciate it, Elie. I really busted my ass to cover Trump's presser, live-posting half of it through bad wifi on a flight and then racing to an airport bar to get the rest. If you find value in my efforts, it would mean a lot to me if you signed up for my newsletter: www.publicnotice.co/subscribe
