Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval.
People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is.
This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

"Well why didn't I hear them."
You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Gave a talk in the Hot Structures session today at #ACA2025 in Chicago!
Fun fact: the first conference talk I ever gave was in 2010 at my first ACA meeting, also in the Hot Structures session, also in Chicago!! (See bonus pic below of me attending ACA2010) ☺️
And if you see me at #ACA2025 say hi!
