In times like these I like to seek comfort in one of the absolute favorite playlists of mine and remind myself that none of this [waves hands wildly at everything] is really necessary, in my very humble opinion

Oh, my goodness. Find a video of Republican Sen. Thom Tillis' takedown of Kristi Noem about her mismanagement of immigration and FEMA, not to mention her killing of a dog and a goat. Well worth your time.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down
Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged
Thuggish violence against observers: Way up
This dude is just a pleasure to watch, almost forgot what it feels like to have normal people hold public office 😉
