The Trump admin already failed to get an arrest warrant on him—magistrate judge refused so DOJ went to appeals court, prompting that letter from the chief district judge torching the DOJ, and appeals court denied too—so God knows what this new one is, or if they even bothered to get a warrant.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

1. Many large media outlets are reporting that Trump "pivoted" his strategy in Minnesota and has "changed course."
This is what the White House WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE
The only problem is it is not true

Melania will make 28 million from

As kickbacks go, it’s a bargain for Bezos given that Amazon Web Services makes one billion a year from a 2022-2032 contract for the NSA.
