I'm 1000% behind the Dems. But the obviously controlled applause from the audience on Spanberger's Democratic rebuttal was clearly forced? More spontaneous applause might have been more convincing.

I lived along Dry Creek in Roseville for 30 plus yearsβ€”across the street from St. Rose. I live along the American River now near Sac State.

I took one look at this video and immediately thought, "That's along the American River in Sacramento!" @Judith Monroe--am I correct?

Even I know that this is NOT correct--with only a 45-minute training on recognizing the difference between an administrative warrant and a judicial warrant!! MJ is either blatantly lying or incredibly uneducated and morally bankrupt--maybe all three!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Absolutely no rational believable or justifiable reason for those murderers to react to him that way.

Couldn’t agree more. I was simply commenting on how I was immediately struck by the manner in which the ICE goons were reacting to the man. I’ve seen insecure men react to my husband and son way too many times.

My first thought of seeing the "before shooting" video is that the murdered man is TALL. Any tall man will tell you that they frequently get challenged by those intimidated by their height. My husband is 6' 5" and our son is 6' 6". They can tell you stories ....

It certainly LOOKS like the man who was killed moments later. ICE is posting a picture of the supposed gun he was carrying. If he was armed, they had no business picking it up and placing it oh so pristinely on a car seat--planting evidence, anyone???

The tall man to the left confronting ICE -- is he the man who was killed? I see a phone in his hands--but no gun.

Minnesotans:my Norwegian great-grandfather and Danish great-grandmother, both of whom emigrated to Minneapolis/St. Paul in the late 1800s, found a home in you. Printers both, they married in your fair state. Thanks for all that you did today, and will continue to do! (PS-Don't mess with Vikings!)

Apologies for my typo-- that's "I made it through 51 mins of a recording of Trump's presser today," not "this today."

I made it through 51 mins of a recording of Trump's presser this today, and then couldn't anymore. It's Grandpa who swills rotgut telling you what is what while you gulp your wine outside the bathroom door waiting for him to go away so you could go pee. And hoping that mom will come rescue you.

CBS's conservative leanings was a well-known fact in Los Angeles in the 1960s. More to the point, it was recognized as a conservative mouthpiece even then.

Tim Walz also thinks people are not learning about what's really happening in Minneapolis.

TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

I retired after teaching H.S. English for 20 yrs + another 23 as a college prof/dean. It's HARD to walk away. However I'm blessed to have contact w/ many of my former students/"kids." Just rest in the fact that you made a difference. Teaching is the BEST-and you'll find ways to still do your thing!
