I spoke to folks in Minnesota this morning. Much of the press coverage has disappeared, but the violence continues unabated.
Just because Bovino isn't there running tear gas parties does not mean they've stopped attacking Minnesotans. Please pay attention!!

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

He is solid at what he did/kinda still does. Becoming TPUSA and the rnc’s house band has diluted his juice which is unfortunate because John Legend doing a lot of pro dem stuff def has not ruined his act

I like how Trump’s culture war now boils down mostly to:

S. Mpls resident here. They’ve definitely changed tactics, but they’re still here. I think the word from on high is no more public executions, at least for now. They are more present in the suburbs, where resistance is more diffuse. They also travel in smaller convoys, making them harder to spot.

As we outlined in the story, it is very much Not over
As of yet, there is no evidence of them actually drawing down or ending their occupation of Minneapolis-St. Paul😡

Trump’s once impenetrable wall of support among working-class white voters is also showing cracks, driven by disappointment with Trump’s handling of the economy. That should set off alarm bells for the GOP — and not just in their race to keep the House.

Is Trump Losing His Grip on the White Working Class?
President Donald Trump is hemorrhaging support from the coalition of voters that propelled him to victory in 2024: young people, Latinos and independents. But Trump’s once impenetrable wall of support among working-class white voters is also showing cracks, driven by disappointment with Trump’s handling of the economy.
