Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

Trump Tirade Over Bridge to Canada Backfires, Handing Democrats a 2026 Weapon
His corrupt threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge is about to become a big albatross around the necks of GOP candidates in pivotal Michigan.

A man of Trump's rapidly deteriorating body and mind can't hope to spend the billions of dollars in ill-gotten gains he's obsessively accumulating, at the expense of the United States and its people.
But what Trump can’t take with him, he'd just as soon ruin, as I discuss in PN.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Bondi and Blanche should not be practicing law, let alone serving in highest ranks of govt. Those unwilling to pursue justice for Epstein’s survivors and boot out predators, those who facilitated or normalized his crimes, and those who lied or covered up for them, do not deserve to hold power — ever

You nailed it, Will!
This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."
February 12, 2026 at 3:36 PM
You nailed it, Will!
I laughed out loud at Tom Homan’s assertion that Operation Metro Surge was a success and Minneapolis is now safer because of ICE. What kind of dope is he smoking? He’s as clueless as the entire tRump administration.

Pam Bondi, you are an embarrassment to our country. Resign or get booted. You have a handful of examples (in your trusty binder) in response to the THOUSANDS of horrific rapes and assaults that are presented to you. You won’t even apologize to the Epstein survivors. Spend time where it matters.

I find it interesting how Bondi, Jordan and Harris exclaim how horrendous and outrageous the event at the church with Don Lemon was. Do they not see the correlation with January 6th?! Yet, Jan 6 included violence, hatred, destruction, injuries, death and protestors with weapons. No similar comments?

ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

Congress has the tools to provide answers, if it only has the will to do so. It must continue to seek justice for Epstein's victims.

Evil man - why can’t we rid our country of this disease infested man/rodent?
And weirdly, Merrick Garland didn’t touch him.
Not a word about his role on 1/6. Mark Meadows was implicated and charged but Miller skated.
I wonder why?🤔

Stephen Miller isn’t just advising Trump.
He’s running the show.
From reckless ICE raids to impossible arrest quotas to silencing anyone who urges restraint, Miller is the shadow president.
He’s setting the agenda, shaping the cruelty, and driving the chaos. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.
