not the first time minnesota defeated confederates in a decisive battle
"officials in the Trump-Vance administration and others close to the White House paint a stark portrait of a president attempting to save face and declare “Mission Accomplished,” as one Trump adviser ironically puts it, after starting a war that Team Trump knows it’s losing badly."
Trump’s Losing His War in Minnesota. He’s Ready to Declare ‘Mission Accomplished’
Trump may trim back his terror campaign in Minneapolis, because it’s bleeding political support. It’s not over.

Concentration camps:
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Incoming from Chuck Schumer and Amy Klobuchar: We must adequately fund CPD so they can buy their own lasers and train in how to use them.
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

But without leaks to the press, the public wouldn’t know ICE is entering homes without warrants, labeling protesters “domestic terrorists,” building surveillance tools, or pushing propaganda.
