Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Mike Lee tweets "name a fascist dictator whose agenda entailed limit the size cost and power of government." Elon quote tweeted it with a laugh emoji and an arrow hitting a bullseye emoji.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us.

I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:

Dear MAGA,

The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda.

No seating for you.

No special events to acknowledge your support.

Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc.

Keep that cash coming.

Be best.
