We all know how this goes: Joe Biden’s choice of footwear got a week of headlines. Trump calls for Republicans to seize control of elections from the states, and the coverage will vanish by lunchtime.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

We all should by now understand that the Trumpist project of 'mass deportation' is in fact a white supremacist pogrom, but it's still worth doing the work of documenting that their flimsy pretexts for it drawing on racist dogwhistles about being 'welfare leeches' are in fact outrageous lies

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Every ICE raid without a warrant is funded by healthcare cuts. Every child separated is paid for by insurance premium increases. Every killing like Alex Pretti's is enabled by Republican budget priorities. #FundHealthcareOverICE

COLLINS: On the Epstein files, Elon Musk was in there and so was Howard Lutnick. Did you read those new files?

TRUMP: No. I have a lot of things I'm doing. I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I think it's time for the country to get on to something else.

"in the 1500m event in the Paris olympics, Jakob Ingebritsen was clearly in the lead with 100m to go. Then Josh Kerr overtook him. Then in the last 20 meters, Cole Hocker just comes in and steals it. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

The Epstein files show unequivocally that Epstein was one of Trump's closest strategic advisors during the election, dispensing advice to him and his other senior advisors, particularly Steve Bannon.

After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump Democrats say Republicans set a new precedent with subpoenas of an ex-president and first lady. "We will follow it ... Donald Trump, all of his kids. Everybody," Rep. Maxwell Frost said.

NEW: After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump

They call it the Comer precedent β€” House forcing testimony from a former president under threat of criminal prosecution.

I will not be complicit in sending another dime to DHS as they continue their reign of terror. We must get these agents out of the Twin Cities and out of our communities across this country.
