He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Proud to join @nwlc.org in telling the EEOC to stop its attack on trans workers. Preventing trans people from accessing sex segregated spaces does nothing to make women safer at work, but the EEOC’s abdication of its core mission to pursue an ideological agenda hurts ALL women

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
