who'd ever have thought most of the establishment left would end up to the right of Bill Kristol?
Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.https://bsky.app/profile/billkristol.../3mdasgvk5ek2oDems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

Minnesotans have had it
Same thing happened yesterday when the state police asked the crowd to move back at the scene of Alex Pretti's murder
They moved forward
BASH: It feels as though you're blaming the victim here
BOVINO: The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I'm not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The victims are the Border Patrol agents.
MAGA doesn't get that that dead liberals in the street delegitimizes them and activates liberalism
i think this at ude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
the smartest thing to do right now would be to make a show of disciplining some ICE agents and quietly pull back from minneapolis. the president offers his condolences and maybe even makes a direct donation to the family. you fire bovino and replace him with someone more quietly depraved, etc.https://bsky.app/profile/jamelleboui.../3mdaz46bnos2sthey have no ability to back down and recalibrate AND they lack a theory of mind for their opponents...it really is government by a bunch of bull connors. basically walking into traps set for them by their opposition. connor also did not understand that beating the out of demonstrators was *what they wanted*
i think they are bad consolidating authoritarianism choices because effective consolidation involves carrots as well as (secret) sticks. this administration is doing the opposite. no carrots whatsoever and ostentatious public violence against members of the dominant racial/ethnic/religious group
how it started:
how it's going:
lolol
Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans — will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there!
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law."
(Trump administration showing their asses today by doing a full-court press on legal carry)
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
sentiment has broken containment on the NFL subs
Maria Bartiromo pushing back like this is a terrible sign for the Trump administration
Maria Bartiromo to Kash Patel: "You've gotta get together with the president's detractors, whether it is on the Democrat side or not, to ensure that we don't have mistakes like we've been seeing."
