I'm a blue dot in a very red state. I have spent my life in two of the worst - Texas and Alabama. I believe in equal justice for all and in treating everyone with respect and dignity.

This is absolutely true and it scares me. If this happens, we are no better than the Taliban or Iran.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

It doesn't do any good to impeach Kristi Noem. We must also get rid of Stephen Miller. He is the deranged mind who is behind all of this. He is an avowed white supremacist.

Please vote no on thru budget.
Bovino’s departure is a far cry from full justice and accountability – we still need real investigations into these killings and serious reforms to ICE – but it’s the first step in showing this administration can be held accountable to public pressure. Let’s keep pushing.

Republicans only gave mischief as a way to win. They cannot win openly and fairly.

Enough is enough.
ALL of ICE out of Minnesota now.

What is wrong with Kristi Noam's husband? The fact that she and Lewandowski are having an affair is an open secret in Washington. Are the Noams in an open marriage? If a Democrat did this, they would be railroaded out of town.

Haven't they already done that?

As a constituent, I am asking that @governorwalz.mn.gov and @keithellison.bsky.social arrest these men and prosecute them before they kidnap someone and intentionally freeze them to death

The ten states where health care premiums are jumping by the highest percentage are all Republican states. Every single one.
This is a MAGA health care hike--and yet Senate Republicans aren't willing to lift a finger to help their own constituents.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

It is now the policy of Trumpuglicans to be as cruel as possible.
It’s pretty rich that Trump is traveling across the country on a meaningless “affordability tour” while he avoids negotiating a simple fix on ACA tax credits.
If he cared at all, he’d just get this done. Instead, he calls affordability a “hoax” and spikes costs for all.
