There, I fixed it for you.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

The thing ICE never considered as they began hiring people with poor character, criminal associates, bad reputation, loyalty to nothing but money, lack of ability, poor finances, extreme racial bias, alcohol and drug addictions, compulsive lying etc, is that those types always look bad in court.

There are approximately 286,785 households in Minnesota's Frist District, so #RepFinstad needs to tell #Trump to send us $487,534,500

#BradFinstad supported #TrumpTariffs which "wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies, and sent grocery prices through the roof"

#FinstadForCongress issues a fundraising appeal prompting the question "Who is the rubber stamp" ?

#BradFinstad issued a statement on November 3 2025 that #Trump has endorsed him for #Elections2026 promising to "work closely with President Trump" (aka BE the RUBBER STAMP)

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today.

Mark this down. We will never get a dime of the tariff refund Trump owes us.

This should be a massive class action suit.

$56 trillion national debt leading to a spiraling crisis: budget watchdog warns the U.S. is walking a crumbling path | Fortune Trump is putting the U.S. economy on a "sugar high" and leaving other people holding the bill when it comes due a decade from now, according to the CRFB.

When you hear #FauxFiscalConservative #BradFinstad complain about the debt being pushed on his grandkids, remind him that #ICE's budget has skyrocketed with #RepFinstad's approval, becoming the highest-funded US law enforcement agency, with $85 billion AND the DEBT GROWS

The tariff ruling was telegraphed and expected enough for Trump to use other means to get at least some tariffs in place for a more limited time. His problem now is all the businesses who will ask for refunds, which will be a total mess.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Education could be a winning issue for Democrats, but only if they abandon their neoliberal crap like high stakes testing and charter schools. Show public schools some love and voters will show some love for you

Minnesota resistance to ICE/CBP invasion, @jvl.bsky.social, @timmiller.bsky.social, and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, may be the second time its citizens stepped into the breach and perhaps saved the Union.
