This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary.

The only difference between Homan and Bovino is that Homan understands that you keep the human rights violations out of public sight so people have plausible deniability to say “they didn’t know” later
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

Oh God
Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Ha. I am glad I shoveled a path earlier yesterday so he only had to trudge through the six inches or so that fell after that.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Ha. Once I caused a major feud between Susan Sarandon and Debra Messing and my mentions were a mess in every way
who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Great little anti-ICE protest in sweet #StAlbans VT, with unfortunate border patrol drive and park by (guy just got food, in his police vest, looking very angry at the protest) (turns out there is an ICE facility in town). Offer was not white. Mindblowing

It absolutely is.
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

This is madness. Madness.
Bovino is on the ground doing door to door raids in St. Paul Minnesota at this hour.

These house raids are being done by a mix of ice and customs and boarder patrol including bortac teams.

THEY ARE GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Rep. Underwood is SUCH A ROCK STAR.
I'm not optimistic about the senate or trump for this.
But maybe, and I am grateful for the effort
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!
