The post liberal reaction to Good and Pretti show that they are straight up authoritarians.
they aren’t complex. They worship force and domination.

Yeah all of this, re: Mitnick. Was opposite sides during Bush but needed his knowledge of agencies and GOP institutional thinking for a project. He helped but wouldn't be public. He really doesn't live for limelight.
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

I just want to point out that Alex Pretti became a registered nurse in early 2021 -- the height of death from Covid. And he chose the ICU, the sickest patients, in Veterans Affairs.
