This is not true. All of the evidence from videos and eyewitnesses show the booing started when Vance appeared on the jumbotron. An accurate headline would say this:

"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

Agree.

Keep it up, @nytimes.com .
Credit where it’s due:

This is one hell of a hard nosed bullshit free article by the NYT. It feels like an editor slipped in the word anomalies, but other than that it’s tough & honest, & how news outlets should write about Trump & his racist administration.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Shocking, after years of mush-mouthery about Trump, to see the @nytimes.com finally use plain and direct language like "blatantly racist video clip." Good for them!

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair.

Don't agree with Cato Inst on much. But:

Very glad they have quantified what has been obvious for years.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Not to give away a good secret, but: Awhile back I read that instead of giving the grocery store your number at checkout, you should just use the Jenny Jenny number — 867-5309 — because some joker will already have signed up with it. It works! Today I used it and got this receipt 😅

All the comments on this post are like, “So public officials can cheerfully do nice things on behalf of citizens?” Partly a matter of good messaging, but also a sad note on how cynical national politics and agitprop have made us.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

A reminder that Tom Homan (now in charge of ICE in Minnesota) took a $50k bribe from an undercover FBI agent before Trump killed the investigation. Homan was never Senate confirmed because he’s a caricature of corruption. His appointment and authority is illegal.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

The problem with law enforcement in general is that they are dressed up as if they're on combat missions in Fallujah.

The problem with Bovino in specific is that he dresses up like a Nazi.

‪Anyone who has read any of the dozen-plus books I have written knows what a deeply patriotic American I am.

But Europeans are on the right side here. The junta in control of the US right now is on the wrong side. of everything.

If I were not American, I'd be avoiding American goods and services.
France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
