Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

ICE officers are under pressure from daily arrest quotas that leadership has set at 3,000 a day…Though ICE has never come close to meeting that daily goal, officers are rewarded for making arrests, even if the immigrants they take in are later released. www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...
The Standoff That Has Turned Minnesota Into a Tinderbox
ICE agents with arrest quotas are colliding with angry residents, a compact city and a relatively small proportion of immigrants here illegally.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...
MANAGING MIDTERM EXPECTATIONS The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency. “It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

Under pressure from Trump, Republicans Josh Hawley and Todd Young have FLIPPED on the Venezuela war powers resolution, now voting to "de-privilege" and effectively sink it. It's now at a 50-50 tie, which VP Vance can break and prevent it from advancing.

As Democrats negotiate fiscal 2026 funding for the Dept of Homeland Security with Republicans before a Jan. 30 shutdown deadline, they’re demanding new rules for ICE and Border Patrol agents—such as forcing them to use body cameras, refrain from wearing masks, and go through more extensive training.
‘Abolish ICE’? Many Democrats are ready to fund it — with conditions
It's not clear a Homeland Security funding bill can get done, but furious negotiations are underway.

Swedish troops just arrived too. Would be amazing (and by that I mean awful!) if after 80 years Sweden joins NATO just in time to have to defend Greenland from the United States.

A disabled woman trying to drive to a doctor's appointment had agents break her window and drag her out of her car. A peaceful observer on scene was tackled and had his face pressed into the concrete, a State Rep. was shoved and multiple others safely observing were needlessly pepper sprayed.
