Obviously correct, and worth underscoring in every press report.
As is the reality that Trump himself would obviously be removed from positions of responsibility in any other setting—pilot, surgeon, teacher, company official, bus driver—and those around him are denying that while using him.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

“The Premier of Greenland said today, ‘We prefer to stay with Denmark’ - do you see that as the final word?”

So I was already in the fleet flying jets for the Navy when 9/11 happened.
My first thought when I heard about “homeland” being invoked was precisely what we are seeing.
Words have deeper value than we think. And invoking a “homeland” was a straight up Nazi move by the US.

As someone who came of age politically in the wake of 9/11 the "We must destroy DHS" sentiment is very welcome.

REMINDER: It's been more than two months since Seth Moulton said on TV that Donald Trump “took advantage of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein,” and the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed or even threatened a defamation lawsuit.
MOULTON: If you're like Trump & took advantage of girls w/Epstein-
SCARBOROUGH: We don't have evidence he took advantage of girls w/Epstein

He’s not a fucking king! He has no power to do this!!! Stop fucking reporting like it’s all a foregone conclusion. Jesus Christ nyt. What the fuck are you doing?
President Trump has based his insitence on taking over Greenland — despite objections from Danish and Greenlandic officials — on reasons of “national security.” But scholars say the territorial grandeur itself is at least part of what appeals to him.
Greenland Would Be the Largest U.S. Land Acquisition, if Trump Got His Way
Denmark does not want to sell its territory. But for a real estate mogul turned president, the world’s largest island may be irresistible.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

The shooting of Renée Good was documented from different angles. Video taken before, during and after the gunshots became ubiquitous online in the days since she was killed.
The perspectives of two congressmen reflect the divides over what happened.
