The power of mocking Trump’s pathetic monsters It's impossible to ignore the administration's blend of violent repression and overwhelming cringe.

NEW: Until recently, two Minneapolis women have heading out each day on a simple mission: to find and mock Border Patrol field leader Greg Bovino. I talked to one of them and wrote about the strengths and limits of mocking these dripless malevolent losers: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The rhetoric MAGA media is using to describe Minnesota protesters is increasingly unhinged and militaristic -- "insurgents" and "terrorists" waging "guerilla warfare,” looking to provoke a "Fort Sumter moment" and start a civil war.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

Did he shoot her as a way to get back at her wife? I am honestly asking. This seems the only thing that makes sense.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Minneapolis is completely unsafe right now. ICE has been in 6 different Targets in the last 24 hours. They are setting up checkpoints on highways pulling all the brown people over. I scared away unmarked ICE from the market by our house after dropping kids off. #AbolishICE #Minneapolis

"voters are why I lost" is the funniest possible thing for a politician to say.

Those are both more analysts, not breaking news. Citations Needed is media criticism, The Dig is like history and politics. Both are awesome. Why Is This Happening with Chris Hayes is also very good

Following my previously signed Executive Orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University. This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again. If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply. Thank you!

Trump takes credit for Mahmoud Khalil's arrest by ICE:
