One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Unbelievable how full of shit this guy is.

Inside the resistance with Will Stancil "It's something I could do to keep them from stealing my neighbors."

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Homan to Minneapolis residents who are setting up ICE roadblocks: "What are you doing? Do you really think you're gonna stop ICE and CBP from doing their job? It's a joke. Stop.

Homan: "If you are in the country illegally, you are not off the table. Let me be clear -- President Trump fully intends to achieve mass deportations during this administration, and immigration enforcement actions will continue every day throughout this country."

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT.
He's too out of control & the "puppet" congress is enabling him. Every time he opens his mouth, "insanity" rolls off his tongue. His cruelty, disrespect, corruption, lawlessness unprecedented. He's destroying the country. He is a true and present danger. It is time .....

Masked thugs on the streets.
Measles outbreaks across the nation.
Blatant government corruption.
Coverup of group of elite sex offenders.
Ruling party trying to rig elections.
Leader building grandiose monuments to himself.
Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service.

Third world America.

Q: Do you think this operation was a success here in Minnesota?

HOMAN: Yeah. I just listed a bunch of people we just took off the streets, so I think it was very effective as far as public safety goes. Was it a perfect operation? No.

this ended nancy maces career

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis & really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones who have implemented these policies, these people need to go"

Maybe Epstein did kill himself. But imagine if he was still alive - who would be most concerned about him talking or even testifying? I suppose those would be the most likely suspects if he didn’t kill himself. But did any of those people have control over federal prisons in 2019?

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!"

No. No, you wouldn't.

We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors.

Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

Nancy Mace @NancyMace It’s “National Drink Wine Day!” Cheers. 🍷

NANCY MACE: I don't drink because if I did it could kill me

ALSO NANCY MACE:

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.

I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Q: Will you commit to officers in Minnesota ceasing broad ICE patrols, random citizenship checks of people of color, & the detainment of citizens?

HOMAN: We're doing targeted enforcement operations. But when we go to arrest targets, if we find an illegal alien there, they're coming

(Not a yes!)

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

Trump on Minnesota leaders: "They have at least $19 billion in fraud and it's probably much more. These are dishonest people. They're bad people. I think they hate our country. And we're gonna get to the bottom of it."

Trump can be heard still complaining about Kaitlan Collins not smiling as reporters are ushers out of the Oval Office

Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins for asking about justice for Epstein survivors: You are the worst reporter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. Your organization should be ashamed of you.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

Trigger fingered, pot belled fanatics are roaming the streets of American cities threatening to kill people for driving those same streets. This cannot stand.

While not nearly as warm & cuddly as the real thing, I really, REALLY love my Mabel sweatshirt❣️
