4 decades ago the Federalist Society was created to destroy the fabric of the most successful democratic nation in history. It was a reaction to civil rights and the regulatory system that had built the middle class. They wanted unrequited wealth. They won. Now everybody’s miserable, even them. Yay
A strong example of what we have lost with the almost complete annihilation of local and regional newspapers in the last quarter century. The nationalized sorting between left and right is actually a divide between those with cohesive communities and the others left to do their own research.
This is tomorrow’s front page for The Minnesota Star Tribune. In a moment in which much of legacy media are enabling and condoning the worst actions of the Trump admin, the reporters and editors of the Star Tribune are not holding back one bit.

Pernicious wordplay by Vance.

Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant."

Truth 1:

DHS is doing immigration enforcement IN PEOPLE's HOMES without a JUDICIAL warrant.

Truth 2:

Our system - the Fourth Amendment - requires a judicial warrant.
JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

Among championship level internal competition, JD Vance is the most dishonorable of all.
Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."

Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

He knows this is a lie but the point is that his GOP fundamentally doesn't believe urban Democrats, and non-Republicans generally but that's the main breakdown, are legitimately and equally Americans who should have a say in how they are governed.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Truly don't understand why Democrats don't put Neguse on all the Sunday and cable news shows at least weekly. He is a direct and effective communicator that would be meaningful to mainstream, non political audiences.
Neguse reads Jack Smith the post Trump just published calling him a "deranged animal" and calling on Bondi to investigate him

As an experiment take this defamatory lie and treat it as reasonable. We were attacked by terrorists. We said Afghanistan needed to be cleaned up. All NATO nations joined despite not being attacked. Where they were positioned or their numbers are frankly irrelevant. They helped. They didn’t need to.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Here's the thing, though: "Loving your country," "upholding the the rule of law," and "follow[ing] the facts and the law without fear or favor" or all partisan positions now. That is the problem the press will not admit.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in:

“I love my country.”

“I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.”

“My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”

It is well worth looking at the many thousands of ordinary Minnesotans who risk physical harm and detention and seeing the best of us. But then it's also necessary to look at the also many thousands of ICE and DHS militia men and see how many depraved and those without worth we live amongst.
There’s no point during the detention of a five-year-old that any person with a functioning moral center would not step back to reassess the situation and their place in it. That nobody involved did proves they lack the common interiority required to successfully coexist in ordered society.

For a year, Sen Jackass Tuberville held up every single advancement of military leadership because they wouldn't bend to his disgusting and destructive demands on trans soldiers. GOP senators tried and failed for months to move legislation forward because of one guy.

Dems could the same tomorrow.
I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

It will take some time. This country may look very different. But this guy and many hundreds more will be outed for atrocities. The question of our future will be answered by whether or not they are prosecuted.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This is just unconscionably evil
A five-year-old boy seized on his way home in Minnesota and now locked up in Texas. His family didn't know where he was for 24 hours.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

It is time to hear representatives speak up far more clearly and aggressively about the actual rule of law. Not this ivory tower bullshit that passes for it.

People should just chant "pussy, pussy" at Greg Bovino. He'll stop smiling.
Border Commander Greg Bovino stands outside a South Minneapolis gas station this morning with BORTAC officers in what seemed like an effort to draw more and more people to the scene as other agents shoot high resolution video of the crowd yelling and blowing whistles.
