Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Border Patrol agents say 'time to get aggressive' in footage that contradicts claims against Marimar Martinez Martinez is expected to announce a new lawsuit stemming from her Oct. 4 shooting by a Border Patrol agent at a press conference Wednesday. Her attorneys say newly released evidence will show an agent ...

Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today.

It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep.

From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Marimar Martinez is a hero. Please keep her safe.

And please remember every time you hear a claim from the DHS that they will lie. Constantly. Blatantly. Without remorse.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

So proud of our Hononegah High School students!

People want more than a fighter. They want a winner. I’ve taken on the NRA, health insurance companies and political machines and WON. I’m doing it now by leading the impeachment of Kristi Noem that has nearly 190 co-sponsors. I’ll take this winning streak to the U.S. Senate. #fighterandwinner

It pisses me off that Donald Trump and MAGA pals are getting richer while the rest of us are getting squeezed. It’s time to put People Over Profits. I will make life more affordable for YOU in the U.S. Senate. Learn more about. robinforsenate.com #peopleoverprofits

Of course I will hold Donald Trump accountable in the Senate. I’m already doing it in the House. I’m leading the effort to impeach Kristi Noem and have nearly 190 cosponsors. When Donald finally leaves, he should go from the White House to the jail house. #convictedfelon

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Transplant recipient arrested by federal agents in Rochester needs medicine, state representative says State Rep. Kim Hicks told MPR News she drove to the Whipple Federal Building near Ft. Snelling Thursday night to give the man his medication but authorities wouldn't take it without a doctor's note. S...

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

Illinoisans deserve to know exactly where their next Senator stands, especially when it comes to national security and foreign policy.
My position is clear.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Martinez ends her testimony with this:

"If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This is insane. ICE is out of control here, still. They must leave.

Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

A note from our editors:

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

A new statement from Epstein survivors:

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

I'm sick of Donald Trump's masked thugs terrorizing our cities. I'm fighting to impeach Kristi Noem, and will never stop fighting for you. Join our fight at robinforsenate.com.

50 years ago today, the Supreme Court decided Buckley v. Valeo, helping establish the status quo for campaign finance by treating independent political spending as protected speech. Polling by American Promise looks at Americans' attitudes toward money in politics on the anniversary.

Dem leadership is still sleepwalking and negotiating against themselves while middle aged working people freezing their asses off on the streets of Minnesota figured this out long ago and aren’t planning on standing down or giving an inch.

Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
