I choose C: they try to rig the election through a simple, violent plan.

DHS currently has 80,000 agents and it's growing rapidly. Say by November they have 100,000. If suppressing a district requires about 2,000 agents (plus some troops if the insurrection act is invoked), they could, by your estimate, easily suppress the vote in 20 to 30 districts.

Minnesota is the best of us.

I wonder how much spit ICE agents eat every day

Yep. He will be ineligible for residency and his visa will be subject to renewal or cancelation every year under an administration that is hostile to Venezuelans. Go ahead and delude yourself but things have changed.

U.S. to suspend immigrant visas from 75 countries over public assistance concerns The State Department says it will suspend the processing of immigrant visas for citizens of 75 countries whose nationals are deemed likely to require public assistance while living in the United State...

So much for that Colombia visa:

So immigration policy is now the same as it has been "for years now"? Work visas from Colombia and the Dominican are solid?

And he will be able to come to live safely in the U.S. how?

Good work

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Not as "tacky" as your haircut

State investigators can take the normal steps (like gathering all cell tower data, video recordings, and the suspect's cell messages and CDRs) and there's little the federal government can do to stop it

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

What happens when Maduro is acquitted?

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

Bot needs to learn the difference between possessive and plural possessive

Screenshot of a Facebook post written by Colin Hortman. The post begins by stating that his father and mother, Mark Hortman and Melissa Hortman, along with their dog Gilbert, were killed by a man influenced by conspiracy theories and fake news, emphasizing that words matter and that sharing misinformation is dangerous. Colin describes part of his grief process as understanding the last conversation he had with his mother, noting that she loved her job and was respected for her work. He recounts calling her after a legislative session and asking why she voted for a bill referenced in a video shared by President Trump, explaining that she became emotional because the vote had nothing to do with fraud and was instead cast to prevent a government shutdown. He explains that his mother had witnessed the harm caused by shutdowns, including people losing health care, jobs, and even their lives, and that the vote put her in an extremely difficult position that went against her conscience. Colin writes that seeing her struggle makes conspiracy theories about her vote even more painful. He asks President Trump to remove the video and apologize for spreading misinformation and for using his mother’s words in a way that dishonors her memory. The post includes a statement from his sister, Sophia Hortman, who is not on social media, calling the video shared on Truth Social a painful and false twisting of their mother’s final vote. Sophia explains that the vote was incredibly difficult, not made with malice, and was intended to prevent a government shutdown because their mother believed the state helps and protects Minnesotans. The statement calls for a society that does not harbor hatred or violence toward political opponents and says the video fuels political division. It concludes by saying the reposted video is another burden on the family as they grieve the loss of their parents and dog, and asks President Trump to consider their pain and take down the post.

NEWS: Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Mark and Melissa Hortman, released statements after Trump reposted false claims about their parents’ deaths. Sophie Hortman urged Trump to remove the post, saying, “I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced.”

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

NYT reporting he is 6'3" as if it is true

You understand it - it's ridiculous

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

Primary every one of them

Nah. You can just buy a championship.

Kerr has to get Podz out of the starting lineup. He is completely outclassed by the Nuggets wings.

Podz is not a wing. Too small, too slow.

He’s a point guard or nothing.
