Our state's Legislative Building is a place where people from all around the world learn about our history and democracy.

Thanks to the hard work of our Department of Enterprise Services, the building reopened in a matter of hours on Monday after an intruder broke in Sunday night.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d β€” like cops.

πŸ“Œ Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

WEST VIRGINIAN: β€œIf the subsidies go away I won’t have health insurance. I won’t go to the doctor. This really is a life or death situation.” #TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker is fighting the abuse of Presidential Power.Today the president called for the elected governor of Illinois and the mayor of the third largest city in America to be jailed. This is textbook authoritarianism.

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree. Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

As troops invade Chicago, Trump threatens to jail the mayor and governor "What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

This morning, Trump declared that the mayor of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, β€œshould be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!”

β€œGovernor Pritzker also!” Trump added.

If you think these threats are just bluster, consider that Comey was arraigned todayβ€”a longtime dream of Trump’s.

This picture is haunting. But look in that man’s eyes. He doesn’t look confident whatsoever. I’m not saying they aren’t dangerous, but they’re in way over their heads. From Trump all the way down to the most inept ICE recruit who just got off his couch last week to play Mortal Kombat IRL.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has β€œplenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the β€œplenary authority” comment edited out.

I met Samantha after Trump’s agents took her mom off the street yesterday, which she confirmed by watching video we showed her.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
