Why is there debate on whether Trump will interfere in the midterms? He’s the same guy who tried every means of theft he could think of in 2020/21! He faced no consequences & expressed no regrets!
Do people think because he held office since 2025 & it didnt look like Jan 6 every day, he’s changed?

I have a new piece up @slate.com, on the politics of Minneapolis's DA going after the ICE officer (now ID'd as Jonathan Ross) who killed Renee Good.
She's been aggressive on police shooting in the past, residents are outraged at the killing, and she can charge even without a fed or local arrest.
