This is normal for Black Americans. Our deaths are recorded for public consumption, the perpetrators get off, and the media commiserates that the victim brought it on themselves
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

The only reason an administration is surviving the scandals that have happened **this week alone** is because an entire political party has sold its mortal soul and abandoned any sense of decency or restraint in service to a lout.

Minnesota should move to arrest the ICE officers or CBP agents involved and prosecute, just as Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge.

If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

People love freedom, fairness, AND affordability. It's not complicated! No one's ONLY worried about the price of eggs when there are armed guys recruited for violence and white nationalism shooting them through their car windows. More skilled politicians are issuing statements reflecting that.

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.

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

Shot *priests* in the head with nonlethal rounds
Raided an entire apartment building (which led to zero arrests)
And today, proved Tim Walz right by shooting and killing a woman-a citizen-in Minneapolis

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

The stakes have been raised. The Democrats have got to run on putting these people in prison. They have to. Jobs, food, all the rest, but shooting a mother in the head on a public street? None of this Garland stuff. "The full force of the government will be brought to bear" on this and similar.

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.
