AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Who’s the magic Dem Senator who could hold the caucus together? Bernie said last night on Maddow there are only 8 progressive Ds in the Senate. If we want change, we need vigorous primaries. Replacing Schumer with ?? will accomplish little on its own.

'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Again, it is a test of cognitive impairment. This is like him saying he’s faster than anyone in the world because an MRI shows he didn’t tear an ACL. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

They are canceling your healthcare and taking away your food and your job security. How much longer before they break down our doors and take us away? I can’t believe we are living through this, but here we are. Some of us will not.

They are calling your protests β€œcriminal” even though they are peaceful demonstrations protected by the US Constitution, that quaint artifact that the highest Court of the land β€”charged with protecting it β€” is undermining at every opportunity.

He is destroying public property.… one of the most iconic historic buildings, demolished to rubble. He’s a pedophile involved in an organized criminal cover-up cabal. They are fascists.

Completely masked to hide their identities, they are shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and using tear gas on local cops who are trying to protect your rights. They are doubling your health insurance bill. They are ignoring due process. He’s shitting on us.

They are ripping innocent children out of their beds in the middle of the night and separating them from their parents and taking them god knows where. They are ransacking private residences without a warrant. They are breaking car windows.

The Supreme Court is going to allow federal troops to be deployed to US cities. He’s tearing down the White House. They’re abducting innocent people on the street and calling them criminals.

This is about as low as he can go. After saying β€œshame on you” to the Democratic nominee for Mayor of NYC, he then throws Gov Kathy Hochul under the bus. Andrew Cuomo is not a Democrat. He’s a lowlife. His quest for power is disgusting. So sad. His father was one of the great Dem pols of his era.

The White House East Wing has been completely demolished. The demolition is basically at the main White House walls.

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.
