Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Bondi’s letter represents a major assault on Minnesota’s sovereignty, demanding that it forfeit its ability to make and enforce its own laws and maintain its voter rolls without oversight from the executive branch, which does not have authority over elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

This Nazi has to go.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

Jesus Turned Over Tables. He Would Have Interrupted That Minneapolis Church Service, Too. What Would Jesus Do?

What would Jesus actually do right now?
Jesus would stand in the street between ICE and those it seeks to terrorize.
Jesus would defy the politicians openly preying upon God’s people.
Jesus would cut off people who collaborate with this unrepentant evil...

Dustin Grage @GrageDustin 🚨 I can confirm that all six prosecutors @PamBondi called out last night vote in Democrat primaries. Multiple sources also confirm they’ve been trying to leave the office for some time, using this stunt to make themselves employable to high-paying Democrat-aligned firms.

Right wingers are straight up lying about how Minnesota elections work now in order to argue that the Dems are corrupt.

We have open primaries. There's no such thing as a Dem primary because it doesn't exist.

Food Prices Were Stubbornly High Last Year

A year ago all we heard about was the price of eggs. It’s still an issue: “The 0.7 percent jump in food prices from a month earlier was the largest one-month increase in grocery prices since October 2022. Compared with a year earlier food prices were up 3.1 percent.”

Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT'

Choosing the Insurrection Act over accountability is a grave escalation and yet another example of why he is unfit to lead.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Trump’s ‘American Dominance’ May Leave Us With Nothing The president’s moves in Venezuela foretell a new global system.

“Far from making us more powerful, the pursuit of American dominance will make us weaker, eventually leaving us with no sphere, and no influence, at all,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Ukrainian drones set fire to Russian oil depot after Moscow launches new hypersonic missile A Ukrainian drone strike has sparked a fire at an oil depot in Russia's Volgograd region. Officials reported the attack on Saturday, a day after Russia launched a hypersonic missile and other weapons that disrupted Kyiv's power supply.

A Ukrainian drone strike has sparked a fire at an oil depot in Russia's Volgograd region.

ICE is a Test of America's Humanity, and Many of Us are Failing. The last decade in America has been an unrelenting funeral.

ICE are the enemy of the people.
They are antithetical to humanity.
They are profoundly un-American.
The decent people of this nation need to oppose them at every turn.

I have never been on X or Twitter before that.

With X now under investigation by governments all over the world for allowing its users to create child exploitation images maybe now, fellow Democrats, we can start making our primary social media links Bluesky and not X?

Kennedy Center renaming prompts new round of cancellations from artists More artists have canceled performances at the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump's name was added to the facility.

More artists have canceled scheduled performances at the Kennedy Center following the addition of President Trump’s name to the facility, with jazz supergroup The Cookers pulling out of a planned New Year’s Eve concert.

Screenshot of a Donald J. Trump social media post reading, “Potential Marble armrests for the seating at The Trump Kennedy Center. Unlike anything ever done or seen before!” Below the text is a four-image collage showing rectangular marble armrest pieces laid out on a white surface, including close-up views of veining, mounting slots, and a hand holding one of the marble pieces.

Note what Trump is focused on instead of fixing healthcare or bringing down prices.

"Putin Is A Ruthless Murderer Who Has No Interest In Peace And Cannot Be Trusted" I had hoped to take a break this Christmas Holiday but Putin and Trump have made that impossible......

Our Congressional leaders need to assert themselves far more forcefully now for "Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted" and Trump is a corrupt, venal, compromised man hellbent on selling out the West. My latest 👇

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.
