ICE's killing and brutality is breaking through big time with disengaged voters. Joe Rogan just harshly criticized ICE as "Gestapo." And new data I've obtained finds very high percentages of young and working class have seen video of Minneapolis shooting.

Joe Rogan’s Harsh New Takedown of Trump ICE Raids Hands Dems a Weapon
When a Trump supporter refers to ICE as the “Gestapo,” a door has definitely opened. Will Democrats charge through it?

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other.
The world thinks that the occupant is a joke.
He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

I think what's going on here is the Trump-ICE war on Blue America, the sheer awfulness of the imagery of it, is awakening in many people an anti-totalitarian instinct that Dems can speak to effectively. Rogan calling ICE "Gestapo" gets at this.

I find it hard to reconcile applauding for Carney's speech and Musk (who has done everything he can to bring about the chaos Carney speaks about) at the same event, but then again, no one invites me to Davos.
absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

The presidency is a public office and Trump’s “deeply personal“ obsessions should be irrelevant in public policy, except insofar as his personal desires are consistent with the law and within his ambit. Neither applies in his rampage against higher education.
Once again, Trump's psychology is elevated at the expense of any question of policy or principle.

JD Vance: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law that's typically something federal officials would look into. We don't want these guys to have kangaroo courts."

This is an important insight. Miller, Vance, and co see immigrants as the enemy, as the other. But they also see anyone siding with immigrants, citizen or not, as the enemy, too. And they want to make sure people see that aligning with immigrants makes you vulnerable to state violence.
The deeper issue is Miller and maybe Vance want people who are eager to show solidarity with immigrants to fear state violence.
They want us to fear Trump is capable of the worst.
