Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Obviously this is relevant because we've been told for many months that Dems should be careful about raising the salience of immigration, as it could deepen their problems with working class voters. As I've been arguing for some time now, working class voters don't like ICE!
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.

And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.

This is digging deep into Trump's base.

We detail these numbers on today's pod:

What the Trumpists are encountering in Minnesota is a community exhibiting exactly the kind of cohesion and solidarity across racial, cultural, and religious lines they claim is impossible.

Nothing could be more terrifying to the blood-and-soil nationalists.

Turning Points and Authoritarian Escalations
Is America’s descent into autocracy accelerating or is Trump struggling to break through the democratic defenses? In Minneapolis, MAGA's worldview is being refuted.

“There is no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence sufficient to explain the scale, consistency, and persistence of the failures that occurred —particularly where the sole task ordered by the Court and repeatedly emphasized by DOJ was simple: redact known victim names before publication,”

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.

During the meeting, she called Trump.

Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

Saying you find the Epstein files “boring” is just a thinly veiled way to say you don’t believe the victims. I expect to see a lot more of that from certain media elites

Unlike the majority of the images in the released files, both the nudity and the faces of the people were not redacted, making them easy to identify.

The level of blatant corruption here is unprecedented in American history.

It’s so extreme we’re not even able to process it.

But every American needs to understand what happened here. Congress must conduct hearings. Media must remain focused on it.

And someday it better get prosecuted.
