Obviously nowhere near the most important issue right now, but this is 100% going to be how Platner will act if he gets elected. Or possibly worse.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster

The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion."

The next tweet says: Today is a great day. 

Our military is amazing. 

@PeteHegseth
 is an absolute killer. 

Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. 

It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. 

He actually gets it. 

God bless him.

He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran.

I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. 

The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran!

He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! 

Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl.

This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Rent is due in Minnesota. Essentially every rent fund still needs donations to keep people in the houses that offer them protection from ICE.

There’s a very long list of places to donate on this website. Please help spread the word!

We always have a surplus! Governor Walz says there's no money for an eviction moratorium or for direct financial assistance from the state, but we have enough of a surplus to do it multiple times over.

We’re asking for your help because it’s the end of the month & our neighbors need assistance. ICE is still here & many neighbors are at risk of eviction. We’ll keep working to ensure government does more to step up, but our neighbors need help now & there’s less mutual aid coming in than before.

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.

This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

Judge summons Minnesota U.S. Attorney to court, threatens DHS with contempt for 'unlawful conduct' U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Bryan says government officials have not complied with multiple court orders requiring them to return valuable property to people freed from immigration detention.

A federal judge in St. Paul on Thursday ordered Minnesota's top federal law enforcement official to appear in court and explain why immigration authorities failed to return the belongings of more than two dozen people they arrested and detained illegally. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In Asheville’s Elections, a View into How North Carolina Is Constraining Local Officials In liberal Buncombe County, elected officials have watched the state shrink their powers over detention and immigration. Now that looms large over the March race for district attorney.

In Asheville, North Carolina, local candidates are fighting to distinguish themselves ahead of next week’s primaries, but state officials have seriously limited the power of law enforcement and prosecution in the progressive enclave.

As noted, Rosen asserted in his email that "[t]he lawyers in my civil division
didn't deserve" the supposedly inaccurate January 28 order. Putting aside the fact that
the January 28 order was not inaccurate, Rosen failed to mention that this Court said the
following in the show-cause order that preceded the January 28 order:
The Court expresses its appreciation to attorney Ana Voss and her colleagues [in the civil division], who have struggled mightily to ensure that respondents comply with court orders despite the fact that respondents have failed to provide them with adequate resources.
ECF No. 7 at 2 n.1.
The judges of this District have been extraordinarily patient with the government
attorneys, recognizing that they have been put in an impossible position by Rosen and
his superiors in the Department of Justice (leading many of those attorneys- including, unfortunately, Ana Voss- to resign). What those attorneys "didn't deserve" was the
Administration sending 3000 ICE agents to Minnesota to detain people without making
any provision for handling the hundreds of lawsuits that were sure to follow.

If anything is "beyond the pale," it is ICE's continued violation of the orders of
this Court. Increasingly, this Court has had to resort to using the threat of civil
contempt to force ICE to comply with orders. The Court is not aware of another
occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten
contempt -again and again and again - to force the United States government to comply
with court orders.

Also, all y'all with eyes on Minneapolis right now, the overlap between immigration and houselessness is sizeable and ICE has been staking out shelters and warming centers and even sent armed agents inside Dorothy Day. Our unhoused neighbors have nowhere to hide.
