The Minnesota I Know Is Fighting to Stay Minnesota I'm heading back to Carleton next week. But Operation Metro Surge has me nervous.

In Minnesota, “love your neighbor as yourself” isn’t just a Bible verse. It’s a way of life.

Warnock on the arrest of Don Lemon: It’s chilling, and I think that is the intent. They intend to send chills down the backs of journalists. The authoritarian march is happening in real time, and it’s way past the time to wake up.

There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to.

That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.

It doesn’t seem like Epstein is a hoax after all.

ICE agents think they’re above the law. They’re not.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social and I just dropped the ICE OUT Act to end their immunity.

Trump Nominates US Prosecutor as Top National Fraud Investigator President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced the nomination of a veteran federal prosecutor to lead a new Justice Department unit focused on fraud, as the administration looks to refocus attention on...

Creating a new position to prosecute fraud and report directly to the White House destroys 40 years of post Watergate reforms to protect DOJ independence.

As a kid, I watched my mom dread getting the utility bill. As governor, I’ll fight to lower costs for families and power CA with clean energy—day one.

I agree…

We may never know 🤬🤬🤬🤬✊✊✊✊

I would love to do that but the cost would be many $100’s of dollars!

Just UPS my kids trophies

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

I took to the Senate floor to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two good people who should both be alive today.

Renee leaves behind three children. Her wife said “kindness radiated out of her…she literally sparkled.”

Alex was a VA ICU nurse who cared for our veterans, often in their final hours.

BREAKING: Tim Walz:

“Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that story about Minnesota.”

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

When did this happen?

Our message is clear: ICE needs to get out of Minnesota.

Shuler: The economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency

Now put AI on top of that

This is a crime not a mistake! 1st there’s no cause for using a dangerous weapon on someone already subdued. Minimum safe distance for is 6-10 ft. This literally penetrates through the eyes& can penetrate through the skin. Point blank we’re talking respiratory/cardiac problems.

His ignorance is an embarrassment to the US

I love Congressman Jared Markowitz. He always brings “RECEIPTS”. The wedding planner that now Repubs are claiming for 1/6! My God we witnessed this with our eyes and ears! JSmith, is a Patriot!

Republicans are such cowards & live to LIE & LIE TO LIVE!

He needs to stop using force without congressional approval and stop making promises he can’t keep.

Fiona Hill: Putin and the Art of Manipulating Trump Donald Trump is so enamored with Vladimir Putin he doesn't even know the Russian leader is regularly making fun of him in ways that can’t easily be translated.

The Constitution and the law are clear: ICE must allow anyone they detain access to legal counsel.

But that is not happening—including for at least one detained U.S. citizen.

ICE must comply with the law and allow access to attorneys. This is not optional.

Screenshot of an X.com post by CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) saying Trump went “further than ever before” praising authoritarian rule, quoting: “I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator,” followed by commentary that the mask is coming off, with a video still of Trump speaking at the World Economic Forum podium.

We don't need a dictator. And we certainly don't need you, Donald.

When Trump’s ‘own morality’ is the only guardrail An assertion that seems more like a threat than a balm.

“My own morality.” By conventional standards, Trump has none. His life is a veritable junkyard of examples, but I’ll highlight two of them.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.
