A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Cannot defend Greenland from whom? As far as I can see, there’s only one country openly threatening Greenland.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

The lesson ICE takes away from all this: “It’s easier just to kill people.”
Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent.
Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

As a reminder: this happened here in Chicago, though without loss of life. ICE agents shot an observer/protester in her car. They initially claimed she illegally threatened ICE officers with her car.
All charges were eventually dropped, with prejudice.

We are not unique and special. It can happen here. It is happening here.
ALL of this has happened before. It may have never happened before in this country, but all of it has happened before. Feel free, at risk of wasting your time, to attempt to find an instance of something happening right now, in this country, by this government, that hasn't happened before somewhere.

I’m willing to believe that a few members of this administration can’t do simple math.

Roberts: A 600% cut would mean drug companies are paying you to take their product
Lutnick: If a drug was $100 & you bring the drug down to $13…it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700%
