Summary

This morning we’re diving into the deepening rift in MAGA after the latest federal shootings in Minneapolis, first Renée Good, then Alex Pretti. Both were killed by immigration agents in a crackdown that’s sparked protests, anger, and bipartisan blowback. Even some Republicans are publicly criticizing the Trump administration’s response. Instead of owning the chaos, MAGA officials are backstabbing and finger-pointing. Kristi Noem is blaming Stephen Miller, Miller is tossing blame at DHS, and Donald Trump is blaming anyone but himself, all while trying to shift the narrative and tamp down outrage. Of course, accountability is nowhere in sight, just damage control and political theater. 🍋 This episode is brought to you by Shopify.
