We're so dedicated to the norm of "even handed" coverage of the parties that media outlets have to create a version of Trump that doesn't exist in reality to uphold the norm, because directly quoting him makes him look like a lunatic.

Ex-DOJ prosecutor who proclaimed β€˜this job sucks’ will run for Congress Julie T. Le made headlines during DHS’s surge in Minneapolis and will launch a campaign to challenge Rep. Ilhan Omar for her seat.

Someone involved in ICE deportation trying to flip @ilhanmn.bsky.social β€˜s seat in 2026?

Most futile thing I can imagine. All of Minneapolis HATES ICE. This will be hilariously lopsided

This man’s name is Justin Fox. In this clip, he explains why a documentary about Jewish women’s experiences in the Holocaust had funding cut for being β€œDEI”.
I really need you to watch this one and sit with it for a minute. Please, just watch. He - unelected - got to make such impactful decisions.

New data out from MN dept of health: biggest surge in uninsured in years: went from historic low of 3.8% in 2023 to 5.8% in 2025. 52% increase, or 116,000 more role without insurance

Some will skip care (and suffer). Others will present in crisis, and need to be treated at higher cost. Barbaric.
