This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Turns out one of the benefits of mass deportation is low growth and anemic job creation.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

ICE is stopping people, damaging property, beating the shit out of them, then realizing the victim is either documented/citizen & leaving them on the street. These are use of force crimes under the color of law & our local & state prosecutors MUST START FILING CHARGES!

You don't fight this hard to hide nothing
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

Hi Tomhoman, thanks for the thoughtful suggestion that we locals in MN end the resistance.
We’ve considered it and would like to make a counteroffer. To wit:
1) No
2) Never
3) Fuck you
4) You, Bovino, Noem, etc go to prison for decades.
Sound good? Great. Here’s $50k in a takeout bag.
…Kidding!

Wow. 733 measles cases so far this year. At this rate, 2026 will far exceed 2025, the worst year for measles in decades
Only 6 cases this year were imported from abroad. This is a domestic problem that will grow FAR worse when the babies going unvaccinated on RFK's watch admin go to kindergarten.
