It's hard to know where to start with this degenerate hogwash. But that last line "ICE > MN" captures it. The ICE agents are superior to the whole state. That's their mentalty and model.

Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans — will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there! This is really some 5-D chess

Pulling out the guard always has potential unexpected consequences. Publicly keeping distance from ICE is key.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Speaking as an old Ozarks boy, you shouldn't underestimate the potential for 2nd amendment issues to drive a wedge into the Trump coalition.
What the Trump Admin is telling you. -Don't record ICE -Don't carry a gun around ICE -Don't ask ICE for a warrant. So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

Having Bessent talking about this may represent an all hands on deck moment within the administration or it may just be poor message discipline.
1. Wasn’t at a protest 2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down 3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight bsky.app/profile/atru...

So far the attempt to control the narrative seems to be floundering.
This is a very good and tough interview by @kristenwelker.bsky.social of the execrable Todd Blanche on @meetthepress.com Also very tough (online) home page display by @nytimes.com Change in MSM tone. Seriously worth watching the whole segment. www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

No one has been righter on the political impact of Trump’s immigration terror campaign than Elliott. When know-it-all pundits were demanding Dems shut up about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, he pushed back with hard data and has been utterly vindicated every day since. Dems need to listen to Elliott.

Silver can be problematic, but you can't accuse him of having and anti-Republican bias, so it's difficult to dismiss this analysis.
Trump is losing normies on immigration
Of course, not every commentator has a feel for the moment.
What a day to post this.

Without diminishing the outrage at the shooting, it's important to remember this is one of many horrors going on in the twin cities.
