Things are still bad here in MN. But until Bovino left, the admin would meet each challenge with more escalation. Withdrawing him cracked their resolve. Now they seem increasingly scared to escalate. So they’re stuck. They should simply leave.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

"Prime Minister Keir Starmer argues that "we are seeing massive migration in ways we haven't seen in previous years" and suggests that "looking again" at "the refugee convention, the torture convention, and conventions of the rights of the children" is now necessary." Human rights 'expert'? Guff.
In the UK, the Home Office issued letters to Syrians demanding fresh proof that return would place them at risk, with just 21 days to respond.

Omar, a refugee working as an advocate for asylum seekers, said the shift was abrupt and punitive.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

When you don't vote you voted for this.
