"with many arguing" what the fuck is this framing on a story about Trump stealing our own tax money from us
President Trump has so far withheld federal relief funds, with many arguing that California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in the deep-blue state have mishandled the fires and should be forced to rescind liberal policies in exchange for aid.
California awaits disaster relief as GOP offers full support of Texas
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), during a trip to South Carolina, highlighted the plight of Los Angeles communities still recovering from devastating wildfires.

Brave, you say, Homeland?
“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

Pretty funny that the Border Patrol deciding to stop off in the Dodgers parking lot for a few minutes* led directly to the Dodgers donating $1,000,000 to immigrant families impacted by ICE.

*as they suggested they were doing, but there’s no way to confirm or reason to trust them automatically.

The only way this framing is possible is if you see whites as innately law-abiding.
This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.
