This is heartbreaking. They are ripped from their homes, their schools, from hospitals. No child should be locked up in a prison.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.

With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.

US will take Greenland the β€˜hard way’ if it can’t do it the β€˜easy way,’ Trump says | CNN Politics President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want.

I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent.

If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do.

I'm sorry.

My father and mother, Mark Hortman and Melissa Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, were killed by a man who believed conspiracy theories and fake news. Words matter. Sharing fake news is dangerous.
One part of my grief journey has been understanding the last conversation with my mother. She loved her job. People respected her job and what she did at her job.
When I called her after the legislative session ended, I asked why she voted for the bill mentioned in the video shared by President Trump, and she wept. That bill and her vote had nothing to do with fraud. She voted for that bill because it was the only way to avoid a government shutdown. She had seen the impact of shutdowns: people lose their health care, their jobs, and in some cases, from a story she told me, have taken their own lives.
She was in a very tough position on that vote. She had never really voted against her conscience like that. It was emotional and extremely difficult. Her struggle with that vote makes this conspiracy all the more painful for me.
I am asking President Trump to remove the video that he shared and apologize to me and my family for posting this misinformation and for using my mother's own words to dishonor her memory.

My sister Sophia Hortman (Sophie) asked me to share this on her behalf, she is off social media: "The video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social is a painful, false twisting of my mother's final vote.
The vote she made was incredibly difficult for my mother; it was not a vote made lightly or with malice in her heart. She made the decision to prevent a government shutdown because she believed our great state protects and helps Minnesotans.
We must create a society in which we do not harbor hatred and violence toward our political opponents, and this video promotes a false narrative which fuels the flames of political division. The video being shared by the president is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents, Mark and Melissa, and their beloved Gilbert. I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social."
Please share our message and help us ask the President to take this down.
