Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

I didn’t realize the NATO chief had the authority to give away a member country’s sovereignty. Is that in the charter or is Rutte trying to deflect from widespread mockery in Europe after Trump posted more of his slobbering text messages after he previously called him his daddy?

Abolish ICE.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Lunatic.
In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”

The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

I’ll never get over this. Trump unfairly pardoned someone, they turned around and committed a new crime, and Trump pardoned them again.

You can commit any any crime you want as long as you have the money, power, and connections to get yourself a pardon.

Trump’s double pardon underscores sweeping use of clemency | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump has leaned into his presidential clemency powers much more aggressively in his second term –in fact, he’s pardoned one woman twice.

Trump really is acting like his days in power are numbered. This is chaotic, desperate stuff.
Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota though it’s not clear how that would change anything on the ground.

He’s already deployed thousands of masked men to terrorize the community. I guess if he used the military those troops would be wearing fewer masks?

Low on the priority list right now, but I think we need to assume that absolutely every public asset that can be stripped & sold for parts over the next three years will be, and the assets parked in some offshore account.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.
