This still feels deeply underreported on a national level. Too many things to cover but this feels like it should be story number one at all times (with Greenland right behind it).
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Trump's base follows him regardless of his policy flips because MAGA is a personality cult, rather than a movement built upon consistent interests or principles.

Trump says that he will hit Iran "hard" if the regime kills protesters. If "America First" means anything, it should mean that our president rein in the violent paramilitary force that he has unleashed in American cities and which is itself killing protesters.

The Atlantic has a piece on Trump's cuts to NASA: "The first spacecraft to fly by Pluto is still sending data back from the Kuiper Belt’s unexplored ice fields. It took almost 20 years to get out there, and the small team that runs it costs NASA almost nothing."

Some twisted logic from Iowa Representative Miller-Meeks:
"Iowans don't support a new war, I don't, and neither does President Trump. That's why he acted swiftly and decisively to bring Maduro to justice and end the conflict."

Trump does not even pretend that the US aims to restore democracy in Venezuela. Instead, he dismisses the opposition that won a stolen election and suggested the Madurai’s VP would be fine if she does what we want.
