Minneapolis breaking the Trump regime is such an incredible testament to the resolve and courage of the people who live there and I hope they know that they are an inspiration to all of us.
"officials in the Trump-Vance administration and others close to the White House paint a stark portrait of a president attempting to save face and declare “Mission Accomplished,” as one Trump adviser ironically puts it, after starting a war that Team Trump knows it’s losing badly."
Trump’s Losing His War in Minnesota. He’s Ready to Declare ‘Mission Accomplished’
Trump may trim back his terror campaign in Minneapolis, because it’s bleeding political support. It’s not over.

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott.

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.

They are overrepresented in the sense that there are so few of them so if they participate in anything, they are almost immediately overrepresented; i would say “I wonder why that is” but then that might be construed as woke relitigation of something
“… Carl has also criticized Jewish people for wanting to “relitigate” the Holocaust, while claiming that Jews are “overrepresented” in the ranks of American billionaires.
In a normal and healthy political environment, these revelations would have led the WH to pull the nomination.

Halle Berry tells us why crime thrillers like ‘CRIME 101’ play better in theaters.
“It’s important as human beings that we continue to stay connected this way through art. It’s so much better on a big screen... and it’s very adult, we don’t make these movies that much anymore.”

Goes without saying but this is a Massive problem, not just in what they’re doing but who they are literally, per our sources, drawing inspiration — about what to do next in the twin cities and elsewhere — from how the U.S. has handled foreign wars including ones we lost
Trump and his people are talking about Minnesota — even during a supposed “drawdown” — both publicly and privately in the language of war and saving face after encountering sustained local resistance that drains resources & bleeds political support
