The Premier League is exciting.

It's exhilarating.

And sometimes it's...

So when you need something to help you ride the highest and loads of all that action,

grab a Coke to keep you in the game.

Time to refresh. Time for a Coke. Coca-Cola,

official partner of the Premier League. Ice is finally getting out of Minnesota. Maybe. We'll see.

Because where we'll actually get started is with this announcement from Trump's Borders are Tom Homan

this morning. And also, I apologize in advance. He has the stage presence of soggy whole grain bread.

As a result of this surge operation, we have greatly reduced the number of targets for enforcement action.

I'm also pleased to report that we're seeing a notable decrease on unlawful agitator activity here in Minneapolis and overall throughout the state.

With that, I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. With Tom saying that a significant drawdowns already begun this week and will continue end in to next week, though, he also didn't specify exactly how many agents are leaving. And that is, you know, at its peak, there were reportedly some 3,000 federal agents there. Then recently, Homan said 700 700 would leave immediately, and so it's unclear what number will actually remain after all said and done. Right, and this also comes as you have the White House quietly finishing up all federalized National Guard troops out of U.S. cities last month, namely Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland. But also, like, to be very clear here, that does not mean that ICE is just disappearing from Minnesota, nor does it mean that Trump's mass deportation campaign is ending, nor does it mean that the National Guard is gone for good. Actually, it's quite the contrary. Holman stressed that the authorities will continue enforcing immigration law and prosecuting so-called agitators in Minnesota, and as for the National Guard, you had Trump warning. We will come back, perhaps, at a much different and stronger form when crime begins to soar again. Only a question of time. Plus, there's still over 2,500 guard in D.C., since technically they have a non-federal status and Morgaard Romaine in Memphis and New Orleans where Trump funds them, but the state's governors control them. Now, as for Minnesota, the Trump regime's casting its intervention as an unambiguous success, claiming that they've arrested more than 4,000 people there. But also you've got critics seeing it very differently, arguing that it's not a big number compared to what they're aiming for. Plus, we have no idea how many of those people were actually the worst of the worst, though the data suggests, actually very few. Or CBS just reported that less than 14% of the nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE during Trump's first year back had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses. But then also you've got to ask where even the arguably good arrests worth all the chaos, unrest, civil rights violations, and needless deaths and state executions. Right? I mean, they came in like a tornado left a beaten and battered city in their wake and for what? And now it looks like the Trump administration is just ramping up its war in immigrants in other ways. Where with sources telling NBC that over the past several months, DHS has been exploring legal methods of stripping citizenship from naturalized citizens. Which for some context, denaturalization has been used only in very rare cases, usually when someone can seal their criminal history or human rights violations during their application. But you've got this source saying that the goal now is to supply the Office of Immigration litigation with 100 to 200 possible cases per month. And that's also been backed up by previous New York Times reporting. And that's actually crazy high because throughout Trump's entire first term, he filed a total of 102 cases. So to pull this off, reportedly officials are seeking shortcuts to speed up the process, reassigning staff members and sending experts to field offices around the country. And you've got that leading to people fearing that they're going to have their citizenship strip based on technicalities or something trivial in their background that Trump's team can use to argue that they don't meet the, quote, good moral character standard set by law. But also, advocates warn that even if they don't succeed, the effort alone could create a climate of fear where even millions of citizens have to think twice about attending a protest, posting on social media, or saying something critical of the regime's latest thing, and all of a sudden they become a targeted for denaturalization. Because the administration has made it very clear. They do not care if you are legal or illegal, criminal or not. They want you out. Trump has asked the Supreme Court to end birthright citizenship. He's revoked people's visas. He's gone after green card holders. He's halted asylum applications. He's banned travel from dozens of countries. He even apparently singled out specific ethnic groups like Somalis or Haitians for accelerated removals. And then, of course, Stephen Miller is known to have pressured DHS staff to deport as many people as quickly as possible. Criminals are not with him setting the infamous 3,000 arrests per day goal. And so many argue that you only take this numbers first, detail, second approach if you really don't care about actually catching criminals or making people safer. Or you just want to scrub the homeland of people who don't look like you. And certainly, both Trump and Miller have at the very least nodded in that direction, right?

I don't need to go down the list of comments that they've made about the third world

and Western civilization. But you can see it even more explicitly in some of their lower level underlings, especially the folks that are running their social media accounts. Because, I mean, we've talked about it before, but you have different government agencies posting a steady stream of content that's widely seen by many is Nazi or white nationalist

coded. Things like this latest ICE recruitment ad overlaid with the text, we'll have our home again, which is the title of a white nationalist song. Though you had DHS mouthpiece, Trisha McLaughlin, claiming that it's just a coincidence, except the Instagram version of the post included audio from the song itself in the background. And well, now we know for sure if you didn't already that the people behind this kind of content, they're not just rogue staffers who got their hands

and some social media handles. Right, because Trump's team just picked one of them out, a 21-year-old kid by the name of Peyton Rollins, and they promoted him to one of the top media communications roles. For most of the past year, he's been the digital content manager for the Department of Labor, for a relatively small part of the executive branch,

but he clearly has made a name for himself.

With him taking credit for the massive banner

featuring Trump's face that you'll find for the Department of Labor, a relatively small part of the executive branch, but he clearly has made a name for himself.

With him taking credit for the massive banner featuring Trump's face that you'll find hung over the department's headquarters. Also, one post that he made featured 11 stars, the same number as a Confederate flag, as well as a font known as Fractur that was used in early Nazi government documents and on the original cover of MNF. Then, by early January, a colleague flagged nearly 20 examples of posts that included phrases associated with QAnon, as well as violent language, and a recurrent anti-Semitic trope. You also have the Times reporting that more than a dozen internal emails and Microsoft Teams conversations within the department expressed similar concerns to superiors. But then did the leadership fire Rollins, rain a man, even take down a post or two. No. Instead, they give him a huge promotion, plucking him out of the labor department and making him digital communications director for DHS. At a department with nearly 15 times as many employees and five times the number of social media followers. And so that tells you all that you need to know about what meritocracy means for this administration, though, it also shouldn't be surprising.

I don't think anyone who watched the Pam Bondi hearing yesterday would claim that she's there because she's the most qualified person for the job. Though actually, speaking about that, there's one thing that a lot of people miss from that clown show that's now blown up into a scandal around whether she's a creep. Because you may have noticed that her aides had a large white binder similar to the one that she had in front of her, and they frequently passed her notes or directed her to specific

pages in her own materials. Now, most people, they just saw that as kind of pathetic, right? Who brings opposition research to a congressional hearing? But then a photographer noticed something. When Bonnie was sparring with Pramilla Jayapal, she had a document titled Jaiapal Pramilla search history that appeared to list the things that the
