Had the chance after January 6th.

Could have done it.

Didn't do it.

Mitch's fault.

Let's talk about the other place Trump is threatening with military action, Minneapolis.

Multiple outlets reported over the weekend that the Pentagon had ordered about 1,500 active duty U.S.

Army paratroopers stationed in Alaska to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota in the event that Trump invokes the Insurrection Act.

The Department of Defense also alerted around 200 Texas National Guard troops about possible deployment to Minnesota today.

Even though Governor Tim Walz has already mobilized the state's National Guard, over 3,000 armed federal agents from ICE and other agencies are still terrorizing Minneapolis.

They are arresting U.S.

citizens and legal residents based on their accents or skin color or just cases of mistaken identity.

They're assaulting unarmed, peaceful residents, some who are protesting, others who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is all despite a court ruling from a federal judge on Friday that prohibits ICE from using tear gas and other crowd dispersal tools against, quote, peaceful and unobstructive protesters and says they can't detain or arrest protesters who merely follow ICE at a safe distance.

Governor Walz and Minneapolis's Mayor Jacob Fry have urged ICE to leave.

and asked protesters to remain peaceful.

And for that, the Trump administration has also launched a criminal investigation into both men for simply speaking.

Kristi Noem, our wretched excuse for Homeland Security Secretary, was grilled on all of this by Margaret Brennan on CBS this weekend.

Here's all the lies she told.

Just they all lie.

The whole administration lies.
