Two American citizens are dead. Alex Pretti and Renee Good had families. And we're watching Washington turn their deaths into chess moves, who gets blamed, when the expiration date hits.

You're right about the whisper campaigns and code words. But Christ, it's exhausting watching human tragedy processed through bloodless calculus. Republicans aren't distancing themselves because two people died; they're distancing themselves because it's politically inconvenient.

Where's the grief? Accountability beyond survival math? The system treats enforcement like performance art and lives like talking points.

Two families plan funerals. Washington plans the next move.

Is that just Wedesday in America now?

The saddest thing is that the deaths themselves are not a turning point for most Republicans. Instead, they put a finger up in the air and felt the political wind shift against them. Only then were they able to let their fear of Dear Leader slip just enough to voice their tepid reservations about what is going on in Minnesota. I truly don't know how these people sleep at night.
