President Trump needs to replace them all and reverse his plummeting ratings, or the entire Trump 2.0 agenda is over.

Congress needs to investigate them all.

The victims of this violence need to file lawsuits.

America needs to put this dark and disgusting chapter behind us and unite behind a crisper immigration policy.

what stands out to me here is that Pretti is posing almost no threat at all here before it happens. In fact, he's helping one person who is hurt, then goes to help another person who is pushed, and only then appears to be sprayed right in the face before it all transpires.

It’s a cold and miserable day do how’s this for a plan? Go to the pub and have a pint. On your own, with the family, or friends. Doesn’t matter. Just go there and have a pint.

Like everyone else, I looked at the shooting of Renee Nicole Good. From several angles. And frame by frame. I watched the reverse lights go out. The weapon leave its holster.

I looked at the before footage. The aftermath. I listened carefully to the audio. I heard the legal scholars commentary. The politicians. Etc.

But most of all, I watched it as a pair of amped up Federal Agents with a car and driver defying my orders in a tense situation. And then I watched it as a freaked out American female in fight-or-flight model with a terrifying man trying to force open my driver side door who may have barely noticed the other man in front of my car about to end my life.

My thoughts.

This was always going to happen. A bunch of political people we don’t know playing out a drama of Sanctuary Cities, voting strategies, refugee designations, border enforcement, immigration scams, etc.

Sooner or later, given enough time, a loving widower and single dad will also pick up a gun and find a 2A solution to his grief over the Surgeon who “transitioned” his only brainwashed child while he was working two jobs in a murder suicide.

Someone wearing a Candace t-shirt calling for America-First will shoot up a Pro-Israel rally in Florida chanting about “Noticing”, Nick Fuentes and wanting their country back. Or a person will spray-paint “Never Again” on a Cybertruck and drive it into a Michigan crowd screaming “From The River To The Sea!”

Etc.

We are being set, like wind up toys, to tear each other apart and ourselves apart. my own head has been filled with so many slogans and so much hate for you by so many different people no matter who you are.

We are all in this low grade revolution.

And it will be reset today by algorithms you didn’t program, filled by speeches you didn’t write, amplified by accounts you don’t know are bot farms, directed by political strategists whose names you do not know, undoing action you would never have taken in ways you would never agree to directed by famous people you don’t know personally.

I cannot wait to visit Tehran.

Persia is of our world’s greatest cultures. Iran has been almost half a century under this oppressive theocracy.

Wishing you all every success. Good luck out there.

I do not understand the lack of our coverage here. But we still hear you.

LFG.

The difference between the USA and UK. Two boys aged 15 and two girls of 14 were arrested after officers followed the Audi for ten miles through the streets of London. Armed officers safely stopped them, and no one died. ICE watch and learn, I'll stick with the Met, warts and all thanks. #Minnesota

Ireland’s focus should not be pensions for the old but homes for the young - https://t.co/W4xNoNXZnj

@RogerSeheult How about artificial sun emulator lights for those who have to wake up in the dark? Are they good enough for a morning wake up 2 hours before dawn?

The Endless Housing Crisis is the cost of paying pensions..this makes no economic, social sense. The old robbing the young.

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Today I had lunch with twelve young Irish people -- a wonderful bunch in their early 20s working on rockets, biotech, software/AI, etc. I enquired about whether any were planning on leaving Ireland over the next 3 years. All hands but one went up. I asked the holdout why he was staying; he clarified that he was also going to leave, just not in the next three years.

Mobility is a wonderful thing, but it feels worrisome if everyone in such a group concludes that they ought to emigrate.

This desire seems to generalize. A 2023 study suggested that more young people want to leave Ireland than any other EU country.

[David McWilliams @davidmcw]

For years, I have found the Irish Left's chronic anti-Americanism hard to understand, particularly when you look at the cultural, familial, historical and economic ties between our countries.
Here's a few thoughts from the US on Ireland's most significant relationship.

Update on the wild #polio discovery in Germany: The virus was found in wastewater in Hamburg. @rki_de, the German public health agency, says the virus sequence is very similar to some isolated in Afghanistan, so the likely source was an infected human. (page 10 here: https://t.co/BvG8oOBBJ6)

Israeli settler leader Daniella Weiss tries to claim that "there is no settler violence" against Palestinians.

In response, ITV News' Peter Smith pulls out his phone and plays a video of a recent attack on a grandmother in the West Bank.

I sit on the board of a non profit that provides free medical care with free clinics. We have provided over $4 M of healthcare since its inception over a decade ago.

We are looking for support. We are all volunteers and pay for our own travel and accommodations.
