Instead he forged a stronger and more militarized nation with an unbreakable identity.

WATCH: After hyping a dramatic “cartel drone” incursion, Trump officials shut down El Paso’s airspace and fired a borrowed Pentagon anti-drone laser—at what turned out to be four party balloons.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.
Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.
Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the America Crisis is how under Trump much of the US Homeland security apparatus seems to understand places like Minnesota or Maine as little as the US National security apparatus under Bush understood places like Anbar or Herat
Inexperienced and delusional rookies at the helm... check. Comically bad misreading of local politics... check. Trying to correct with "a surge" that makes things worse... check.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

This affects my sister & sister in law as well. They may lose their right to vote. Then again, given they are both RWNJs I really don't want them to vote. It should be their choice, though.

When one Dem governor is singled out & discriminated against, ALL the Dem governors circle their wagons to support him.
