It’s Monday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
I was genuinely looking forward to Monday’s afternoon post.
After a weekend of government Twitter telling us to “embrace the penguin,” it felt like we were headed for one of those easy, absurd little moments where the internet gets to laugh at power for being weird, AI-brained, and geographically incompetent.

But the joke didn’t get to land.
Because while official accounts were busy being cute, the federal government spent Saturday morning showing us something else entirely. In Minneapolis, a federal agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA ICU nurse.
The stories don’t match. Video exists. His family and community say he was trying to help people. The government says otherwise. What isn’t disputed is this: a man whose job was keeping people alive in an ICU is dead at the hands of the feds.
That isn’t whimsy. That’s an abuse of power.
A TikTok of the shooting as Twitter wouldn’t let me embed the ones I saved over the weekend:

This is a YouTube breakdown of the shooting.
In the aftermath of the shooting that is clearly murder, the usual suspects jumped on TV to label Alex as a person intent on causing harm to Federal agents.
I’m not wasting time sharing those statements; one, we’ve all seen them a bunch this weekend. Two, they are all fucking lies.
This morning the man responsible for all this chaos and death announced he’d be sending in his border czar Tom “I take bribes” Homan into Minnesota to take over.
That post comes just hours after he posted this:
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:
Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE.
1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.
2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.
3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.
4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.
In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.
All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The above post followed the letter that AG Barbie sent to Minnesota saying “give us your voter rolls and we will remove ICE”.

I’m pretty sure his “newer tone” as is evident in his latest post:
Has nothing to do with Walz deciding he can work with Homan better than he can work with Gestapo leader Bovino.
And has something to do with this:
NEWS: Minnesota GOP candidate for governor Chris Madel drops out of the race in part because he can't "support the national Republicans' stated retribution on the citizens of our state," calling Operation Metro Surge an "unmitigated disaster." https://t.co/qRq4Zt3OFV

And this:
ICE, DHS & Kristi Noem are a political disaster for Trump.

ICE's net approval is at an all-time low under Trump (-27 pt) & keeps falling.
DHS approval is at an all-time low under Trump (42%… was 59% at this pt in term 1).
Noem's net approval has been negative in every poll. pic.twitter.com/sFc4QnQSEc
Who knew murdering US citizens would be unpopular with the masses.
