From today’s top link:
“The president and his allies constantly tell Americans that they face catastrophe on all sides—that the country is besieged by weapons of mass destruction, narco-terrorists, invaders, insurrectionists, and terrorists. This misleading rhetoric stokes fear in order to justify extreme measures.”
“Insurrections are rare in U.S. history, but according to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, we’ve had lots of them just since 2024. In his telling, the perpetrators of recent insurrections against the United States include Joe Biden; the Colorado Supreme Court; U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani; U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston; Democrats; protesters in Los Angeles; protesters in Paramount, California; protesters in Compton, California; the city of Los Angeles; U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong; various “radical communist judges”; the Chicago Police Department; a crowd that the Chicago police didn’t stop; an Oregon judge; and “Democrat lawmakers.” (Miller has never called the MAGA movement’s storming of the Capitol an insurrection.)”.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) says ICE agents are now on “almost every single block” in her Minneapolis community and people are living in “complete terror,” one week after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. President Donald Trump’s response to the ICE shooting was to send another 1,000 federal immigration officers into the city. They joined the more than 2,000 other DHS officers and agents recently sent in by the Trump administration, which has touted the surge as "the largest DHS operation ever." [HuffPost]
