(Indeed, "Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to 'Operation Midway Blitz.' With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared and nobody has been convicted")







It wasn't that long ago that all of us understood this guy to be the stock image for "man who's come to terrorize your community." Now my government tells me he's the most honorable, ethical, best trained, most experienced police in the world.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

A dad on patrol this morning is showing off his new egregiously expensive ice-fishing boots that he justified “because I’m standing out here all the time.” Dudes are going to continue rocking until morale improves

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has still not said anything publicly about federal agents raiding the home of one of his reporters last week. He is, however, using his X account to refute apparent misinformation about himself within a few hours of it being posted.

This is why I always emphasize that "the media just likes Trump for clicks and ratings" is not accurate. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is the worst in political history and instead of sensationalizing it, they repeatedly minimize it and downplay it despite massive public interest

(I'm not interested enough to listen, but double? Is that mass-laundering?)

(Enough wiggle room if they claim they had a genuine change of heart, and it wasn't just so they could jump on the bandwagon and sell $45 sweatshirts)







Things got heated
