Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

Some might be tempted to think Mark Lutter’s “charter city” proposal for Venezuela is reasonable. Many such people are unaware of the ideology of the men—eg, Palantir co-founders Peter Thiel & Joe Lonsdale & Thiel Fellowship co-founder Michael Gibson —who fund or otherwise promote Lutter’s work. 1/
