"And the contrast between the damning videos and the blatant lies from Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino was too much even for many people who were still, for some reason, inclined to trust this administration. ...

"I already knew, and most readers of this newsletter probably also knew, that the people besieging Minneapolis were lying, brutal thugs. But most Americans don’t follow the news closely and tended until recently to give the government the benefit of the doubt.
The murder of Alex Pretti may be a tipping point...."

"He dropped out of the race, AND out of being a Republican entirely, saying that even though he had been on board with the deportations and making words about FRAUD, he could no longer support the national GOP’s 'stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.'”

Is Trump About To TACO On His Minnesota Invasion?
Sounds like could be, here's hoping!Marcie Jones (Wonkette)
"Our researchers have been watching Fox, and even they are struggling to defend what took place, with some of their hosts openly showing their disdain for the regime’s narrative."
The insurmountable challenge for them as they lie: there are multiple videos. And they know we all can see them if we wish, and they flatly contradict the lies we're being told.

"Even many of the regime’s staunchest defenders know that what transpired over the weekend was unforgivable, and the way the regime handled the situation made things even worse. To give you a sense of what I’m referring to, even Texas Governor Greg Abbott said earlier that ICE needs to 'recalibrate' its mission after this weekend’s shooting."

"Things have gotten very ugly for Donald Trump over the past 24 hours. This weekend was a breaking point for so many Americans after yet another American was murdered by the Trump regime. His name was Alex Pretti. They killed him in cold blood. Then they lied about it. Over. And over. And over again."

"The NRA and pro-gun groups are joining the chorus calling for a full investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti—a stance that is at odds with the administration’s 'blame Alex Pretti for his own execution' narrative."

"In response, the NRA posted: 'This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.'
Gun Owners of America, a non-profit lobbying organization, also criticized that claim from Essayli – who is now an acting first assistant US attorney for California’s central federal district court."

"The NRA waded into the national dialogue over Pretti’s killing after Bill Essayli – who was appointed by Trump to temporarily serve as a US attorney in California in 2025 – posted on social media: 'If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.'”

"Those same sources told Fox there is no indication he meant to kill agents and believe the shooting will likely be deemed a 'bad shoot' driven by split-second decisions in a chaotic moment. Several described DHS’s messaging as a disaster for crisis management that has worsened the situation, eroded trust, and cost the agency support, even as they continue to back the administration’s broader immigration agenda."

"Multiple federal immigration enforcement sources, including senior officials, told Fox News that DHS has damaged its credibility and internal morale by publicly exaggerating claims that Alex Pretti intended a 'massacre,' despite video evidence showing he never drew his weapon."

"Fox’s Bill Melugin, one of the administration’s favorite reporters, wrote, 'I’m told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage," even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate.'”

"Calls for an investigation have come from across the political spectrum after video analysis showed officers had removed a handgun from Pretti that he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him on Saturday. Trump officials, meanwhile, are continuing to lie about what happened."

"Donald Trump is reportedly 'furious' with the way the Department of Homeland Security has handled the events in Minnesota over the past several weeks. He is not upset with the immigration enforcement activities. Rather, he is upset that Americans are seeing them."

The federal government murders another American citizenMary L Trump (The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump)
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed."
