I feel better already.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not… pic.twitter.com/pKcIGga45v

Stephen Miller, Katie Miller, and JD Vance have all gone dark.

Heads below the parapet don’t get shot off.

Jennings: For whatever you want to say about Stephen Miller, the local politicians have a responsibility to be more measured in their own rhetoric

Collins: Speaking of being measured in your rhetoric, the vice president also retweeted Stephen Miller, calling Alex Pretti an assassin, something that no one is even repeating today.

I knew there was an underlying reason.

Private urging from top Repubs, public euphemisms galore and brutal coverage =

Interesting. Stephen Miller is looking increasingly isolated inside the White House as others start realizing that deliberate, concerted ethnonationalist brutality and sadism is hurting Republicans politically.

Is it too much to hope? The tell will be whether the GOP cuts 🧊 funding loose from the appropriations package; or tries to bash Democrats for shutting down the government to “defund ICE.” And lets the government shut down.

This, from @DavidAFrench : “One of the saddest things about the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti is that you could tell that neither of them seemed to know the danger until it was too late. They believed they were operating in some version of the normal state . . . where the police usually respond with discipline and restraint.”

There are reports Wiles and Miller are putting the blame for this on Noem and Lewandowski. Bovino may be out, Noem’s time may be up, Miller may even be isolated…but this is far, far from over.

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.
