News: The ICE surge in Minnesota is ending.

It's a start, but it's not good enough. Not another penny for DHS until ICE is out of Minnesota and every city.

And House Republicans just passed it 218-213.

President Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 in 2025 — and costs are set to rise even higher in 2026.

He’s making life more expensive for everyday Americans while his family gets richer.

That’s not leadership. That’s a scam.

Reducing the influence of big money in politics starts with holding lawmakers accountable.

Congress must pass a stock trading ban ASAP.

Secretary Noem’s own party says it: she’s failing at her job and should be fired.

ICE is wreaking havoc. Communities are living in fear. Americans are dying in their own neighborhoods.

Enough is enough. #FireKristiNoem

Texas’ recent special election has Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sweating.

Maybe he should rethink that April special session on redistricting and other Republican governors should follow suit. www.commoncause.org/articles/a-r...

President Trump is openly talking about “nationalizing elections” because he knows he can’t win fair fights.

This is about cheating, plain, and simple. Rig the rules, shut out voters, cling to power.

We can’t let Trump take over our elections. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Trump says Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections
The comments come less than a week after the FBI raided an elections facility in Georgia.

#OTD in 1870, the 15th Amendment granted Black men the right to vote. But systemic barriers have persisted—and still do.

156 years later, the fight continues. Common Cause will always fight for the right to vote. ️✊

ICE está aterrorizando nuestros vecindarios y destrozando vidas —y la encargada de las decisiones es la Secretaria Kristi Noem.

Ella escogió esta crueldad. Fuera con Kristi Noem.

Now they've arrested Don Lemon. It's not a crime to report the news or question the President of the United States. It's our constitutional right as Americans.

This is a people-powered win, but the funding fight isn’t over. And we’re still demanding ICE OUT of our cities and FIRE Secretary Noem.

Hand over Minnesota’s private voter data, and we’ll pull ICE from the state.

That’s what President Trump is demanding.He's playing games with our safety, and it’s unacceptable.

Today it’s Minnesota, but it could easily be anyone’s state tomorrow.
