Milan, Italy Mayor Giuseppe Sala on Tuesday was not pleased to learn that convicted felon President Trump’s regime is sending ICE agents to support “diplomatic security operations” on the ground in his city during next month’s Winter Olympics, telling the Associated Press that “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips.”

“It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala continued. Unmentioned but possibly implied is that his city was where in 1945 deposed dictator Benito Mussolini’s corpse was strung upside down from a gas station canopy and his face punched repeatedly until it looked like a day one IHOP kitchen line cook trainee’s first attempt at a short stack of strawberry pancakes.

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said he had not had any confirmation of the deployment, but also didn’t “see what the problem would be,” thus confirming Piantedosi is a fucking idiot. If this were Budapest or Doha or Buenos Aires then no, there probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Milan is not Budapest or Doha or Buenos Aires and as mentioned is where Mussolini’s corpse was desecrated so yeah it might actually be a problem. Not a lethal problem but a problem nonetheless for really any American government security personnel on the ground now that locals are under the impression that ICE will be protecting US olympians and VIP spectators. Freaking dumbasses.

An “administration adviser” tells Axios that the Trump Regime’s drawdown in Minneapolis cannot be seen by the media and voters as a total capitulation and needs to be stage-managed to still look like mission accomplished. “We can’t lose Minneapolis because if we do, we lose Chicago and Los Angeles,” the anonymous asshole said, adding “We’re not going to let the people who lost the presidential election over immigration dictate to us on immigration,” referring to Democrats.

Christ, what an entitled cunt. Who was it two years ago this month that commanded Senate Republicans to vote no on a border security package so he could continue to campaign on immigration? Might it have been the guy who lost the last presidential election before that?

And yet Greg Bovino’s not only out, he’s been cut off from shitposting on social media before he can even officially retire, per CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, which would not seem to be the kind of thing the regime would want to do on its own. Another source said the mistake was detailing Bovino and the CBP to what’s supposed to be ICE’s remit, since Border Patrol agents “train differently” than ICE stormtroopers. “They’re being deployed to the interior when they’re used to dealing with single adult, military age males that could be cartel members or Chinese terrorists,” the source told Axios, ignoring that Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent under essentially the same circumstances as Alex Pretti was killed by a Border Patrol officer. That of course on top of the Fox News Saturday morning cartoon bullshit about “cartel members or Chinese terrorists or Chinese terrorists.”

“He’s a cowboy, and it was a mess. It was only escalation, and no one was going to back down,” another source said of Bovino, adding “[FBI bribery sting operation target Tom] Homan going is a good thing. Someone needed to step in,” literally under the notion that the guy who took $50,000 cash in a Cava bag is an improvement over the tiny bastard who wears a Nazi SS-style jacket.

Former Army Lt Colonel Alex Vindman, the Ukrainian-born whistleblower who exposed convicted felon President Trump’s deranged attempt to coerce President Volodymyr Zelensky into interfering in the 2020 election, announced on Tuesday he’s running for the Dem nomination to challenge creepy Florida Senator Ashley Moody in the November midterms. Vindman’s twin brother Yevgeny “Eugene” Vindman, also canned by Trump after the impeachment trial, already serves as a Congressman in Virginia’s 7th. Moody in all likelihood probably still wins this but Vindman’s no dumbass and will give her considerably harder of a fight than some peanut like Charlie Crist.

A new national survey by Reuters/Ipsos finds convicted felon President Trump’s overall job approval rating sinking to 38 percent, from 41 percent in their previous test and matching his second term low. A majority – 58 percent of respondents – also say “ICE has gone too far” with their fascist shit.

Separately, an Echelon Insights national survey finds Dems leading Republicans 49 to 44 percent on the generic congressional ballot, which in itself is not that large of a gap nor is it that far off from where other pollster are at on that number these days. Worth noting about it however is the shift in independent voters’ responses over just the last month: In December Dems led Republicans 47 to 34 percent among indies, in January that lead doubled and Dems are up 49 to 23 percent.

Also notable: In February 2025 Trump’s job rating among indies was 51 to 45 approve/disapprove, he’s now at 26 percent approve to 69 percent dis, a 51 percent net swing in 11 months. Impressive.

The earlier CNN reporting on Little Nazi Guy Greg Bovino hinted at him being cut down to size but left his future ambigious. Now the Atlantic reports it’s a demotion from Border Patrol “Commander at Large” down to his old job in El Centro, California and is expected to retire soon. Fuck him.

Border Patrol Chief Greg “Schutzstaffel” Bovino and his lieutenants will leave Minneapolis on Tuesday, CNN reports on a definite step toward capitulation on the Regime’s part.

Sources told the network that officials were extremely frustrated by Bovino and dog-murdering DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s handling of the murder of Alex Pretti, especially at Bovino claiming that Pretti had been intent on “massacring” Border Patrol agents during the op to detain a non-criminal suspect who had been released from ICE custody by the first Trump Regime back in 2018.

At the end of a long story about his interview with the Orange Slob headlined “‘The Superhuman President’ A good-faith attempt to ascertain the truth about Donald Trump’s health,” New York Magazine’s Ben Terris writes he was greeted in the Oval Office with the man himself, accompanied by White House physician Captain Sean Barbabella and physician’s assistant Colonel James Jones, PhD, who Terris writes were “clutching pieces of paper labeled TALKING POINTS,” that Trump forgot the word “Alzheimer’s” and had to be reminded of it by Karoline Leavitt, called the MRI “the worst fucking thing I ever did, and I blame them,” while pointing at Barbabella and Jones. “They wanted me to take it. And because I took it, people want to say, ‘Oh, there must be something wrong.’”

The most ridiculously on-brand part comes at the end when Karoline asks Jones “You worked for the Obamas, didn’t you?” to which Jones confirms and Terris writes “Jones had, in fact, worked from 2009 to 2018 as a senior medical leader in the White House. At the end of his presidency, Barack Obama, a fitness fanatic rumored to allow himself precisely seven almonds a night, was 55.”

Verbatim, from Terris’s close: “‘Who is healthier, Obama or President Trump?’ I asked. Trump stared across the desk, making eye contact with Jones. Jones didn’t hesitate. ‘President Trump,’ he said.”

“Trump nodded. There was no sign of a smile, as if there could not have been any other answer to that question. ‘Write that,’ he said, turning to me,” the reporter wrote, capping his recall.

Tyrannical paraplegic Texas Gov Greg Abbott on Monday demanded that every public educational institution in the state provide him with a list of H-1B visa holders under their employ, the Texas Tribune reports, citing an interview with some bullshit right wing talk radio station in which Abbott he doesn’t “see any reason why we need any H-1B visa employees in our public schools in the state of Texas. But we’re going to find out if there’s some unique skill set or whatever the case may be.”

“Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and so am I!”

“We have had such tremendous SUCCESS in Washington, DC, Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we have ‘touched’ and, even in Minnesota, Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better!” posted TACO Man on Monday, sure sounding awfully like he did after Mark Rutte worked him on NATO and Greenland.

Don’t be terribly surprised if this ends with Walz ordering the commutations of like a few dozen illegal immigrant convicts who are 90+ percent of the way through their sentences after which Trump and the MAGA propaganda-industrial complex will claim was a complete and total victory.

A New York City Police Department sergeant has been placed on modified duty after the fatal shooting of an unarmed raccoon during a response to a report of suspicious activity on the boardwalk in the Rockaway Park section of Queens on Thursday, the New York Daily News reports.

Sgt Nicholas Henry fired at least three rounds at the animal as it was moving near the fence line adjacent to the beach at Beach 121st St in response to what he and other officers’ who responded had claimed was an aggressive charge at a group of people nearby. The bodycam footage released to the Daily News does not include the officers’ interactions with that group of people on the morning in question and the department did not respond to further questions about that detail.

A statement from the NYPD did however say the raccoon was then taken to the New York City Animal Care Centers shelter where it was pronounced dead on arrival. It’s not clear if veterinarians performed an autopsy and tested for rabies or if the remains were unceremoniously incinerated in the shelter’s crematorium without any such further investigation into the animal’s state of mind.

Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel, who the Star-Tribune describes as a political outsider trial attorney who emerged from relative obscurity since his December 1st launch to polling among the top three in a crowded primary field, announced the end of his bid on Monday, saying he can no longer support the Trump regime’s crackdown that has “expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats” when “United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That’s wrong.”

Just to illustrate how big of a 180 this is: Madel has been providing pro-bono legal counsel to ICE agent Jonathan Ross after he murdered Renee Good less than three weeks ago. “I do this because I believe the Constitutional right to counsel is sacrosanct,” Madel said in his announcement.

“National Republicans have made it nearly impossible for a Republican to win a statewide election in Minnesota,” Madel continued in his towel-throwing-in video. You can go back and forth all day about his moral sincerity or the actual political impact of his surrender, but a less fraught question is whether anything like this has ever happened before – a Republican so clearly saying “Enough of this shit. I’m out” while unambiguously blaming the Trump Regime for inflicting suffering on them.

“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me. Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive 20 Billion Dollar, Plus, Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota, and is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests in the streets. Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, per usual leaving his fanboys with the impression that something’s actually going to happen.

In a brief phone interview with the Wall Street Journal on Sunday night, convicted felon President Trump entertained the idea that his regime had fucked up and gone too far in Minneapolis, admitting to that “at some point we will leave. We’ve done, they’ve done a phenomenal job” and “we’ll leave a different group of people there for the financial fraud,” as though it’d been necessary to have ICE and CBP there at all in the first place before two US citizens were murdered in broad daylight.

The Journal writes that Team Orange is still trying to figure out how to improve the public image of immigration enforcement ops in the city and are worried that any such withdrawal would amount to a capitulation to the left, since of course looking weak in front of MAGAmerica is a major concern.

“That is why I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos and Violence…”

“Meanwhile, Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States are REFUSING to cooperate with ICE, and they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday and there was a lot of bullshit in between those ellipses… And it looks like he posted a two-part message backwards.

DHS officials on Saturday told the New York Post that Jose Huerta-Chuma, the undocumented Ecuadorian target of the ICE/Border Patrol op that ended in the shooting death of Minneapolis man Alex Pretti, was being sought because he previously had been charged with domestic assault, disorderly conduct, and driving without a license, thus making him the “worst of the worst” as the state propaganda campaign to improve the public image of these operations goes.

Sur-fucking-prise from the Minnesota Department of Corrections, who began their statement by extending their “condolences to the family and loved ones of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal agents this morning in Minneapolis. The loss of life is tragic, and Minnesotans deserve transparency, accountability, and facts. In the hours following the shooting, US Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino held a press conference asserting that the operation was targeting an individual named Jose Huerta-Chuma and characterized him as having a significant criminal history.”

“Because federal statements have repeatedly included inaccurate information about Minnesota custody and criminal records, the DOC reviewed available records to determine whether the individual referenced had any connection to Minnesota state prison custody. Based on DOC records and publicly available Minnesota court data: The individual identified by federal officials has never been in Minnesota DOC custody. DOC and court records show no felony commitments associated with this. Public Minnesota court records reflect only misdemeanor-level traffic offenses from more than a decade ago. The individual is not currently under DOC supervision,” the statement continued.

The the kicker: “DOC records further indicate that an individual by this name was previously held in federal immigration custody in a local Minnesota jail in 2018, during President Trump’s first administration. Any decisions regarding release from federal custody at that time would have been made by federal authorities. DOC has no information explaining why this individual was released.”

Emphasis added on the gutter-level fucking lethal incompetence from this regime.
