By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

After Trump's lies about 2020 election, Georgia Republicans ousted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as chair & voting member of state election board. MAGA election deniers took control of board. Now those Trump-allied Republicans could seize control of voting in GA's biggest Dem stronghold
Trump wants to take over voting in at least 15 places
FBI raid in Fulton County GA now fueling MAGA calls for election takeover there
That would allow them to purge voters, cut polling places, limit early voting & challenge election results. Very scary for 2026

What do they think an American should look like?
This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

Remember when Warren Beatty said about Madonna, “She doesn’t want to live off camera”? These people have the same disease.
As Gov Pritzker describes it, the Trump secret police assault on a Lakeshore Drive apartment complex was a made-for-TV event designed not to serve any lawful mission, but instead to create video footage that would be suitably depraved to entertain the MAGA base. That's correct.

I recently reported on an ICE officer who was publicly reprimanded and “relieved of his duties” after shoving a woman to the ground in an NYC immigration court. Well, he’s back.
DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

In their own words the Republicans declared war against the United States and now they are waging it.
I guess we should have taken "The South will rise again" both literally and seriously.
