President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
Michigan Public NPR (01/13/2026): The day trip will include a tour of a Ford factory in Dearborn that makes F-150 pickups, the bestselling domestic vehicle in the U.S. The Republican president is also set to address the Detroit Economic Club at the MotorCity Casino.
“Lies Social”
“FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”
An hour later he told the Iranian people to keep protesting and that help was on the way.
I support protest. I support it in Tehran and I support it in Minneapolis. What I don’t support is a president who cheers rebellion abroad while promising “retribution” at home. In one breath he tells Iranians to take over their institutions, and in the next he tells Minnesotans not to worry because punishment is coming. Dissent is freedom when it’s useful to him and criminal when it isn’t. That isn’t leadership. That’s authoritarian mood-swing diplomacy.

'Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17'https://t.co/Bth3c5xDlF
The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection.
Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17.
“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”
Fox News. 01/13/2026.
FYI:
As of March 31, 2025 there were only around 700 Somalians with TPS in the entire country, so the highlighted claim here is 100% factually incorrect. https://t.co/FSkLC7FMYM

ALERT: Mass resignations hit Justice Department's Civil Rights Division amid lack of action in Minneapolis, per sourceshttps://t.co/y6sRyGRvWl
— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) January 13, 2026
Several career prosecutors in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced their resignations this week shortly after they learned there would be no civil rights probe into the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal immigration agent, according to six sources briefed on the matter.
At least six prosecutors, most of whom are supervisors in the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section, will be leaving their jobs. Their decision to resign was announced in a meeting to staff on Monday, the sources told CBS News.
The announcement came after CBS News reported on Friday that career prosecutors in the section had offered to drop all of their work to help investigate the Minneapolis shooting, but they were told there would be no criminal civil rights investigation. The ICE officer who shot and killed Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross, who a DHS source told CBS News last week was previously dragged by a car when trying to arrest a man in Bloomington, Minnesota, six months ago.

Now, the investigation is being treated as an assault on a federal officer, in which Ross, as opposed to Good, is seen as the victim of a crime, the sources added.

The Civil Rights Division has already faced a mass exodus in its ranks since last year, after political leadership drastically altered its mission of historically protecting the country’s most vulnerable populations.
Until now, the criminal section had lost fewer attorneys compared with the division’s other sections, which collectively lost approximately 75% of their staff in 2025.
The resignations, which include that of the section’s chief, were not solely driven by Minneapolis, but also by frustrations at how political leaders in the division were handling other cases and sidelining prosecutors, two of the sources said.
