There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

Serious, Democrats! Trump invading Venezuela has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Even if Epstein didn't exist, he would have invaded Venezuela because Trump is an power-hungry, ego-driven madman! This would have happen regardless. Quit acting like everything is a "deflection from Epstein".

Throwing this prediction out there now. Trump will tell Javier Milei that the "Islas Malvinas" are Argentina's land, and gives Argentina the green light to take them. Just wanted to get this prediction out there now before it happens.

The Trump Administration just kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation and got away with it. Do you really think they will comply with anything regarding the Epstein files?
NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Department of Justice Violates Epstein Files Law By Failing to Inform Congress of Reasons Behind Redactions
The Justice Department has now blown through another deadline.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

As a European citizen, it's time for a collective Europe to build up their defenses and build them up quickly. The relative ease in which the US kidnapped a world leader, and the lack of action to said kidnapping by the world community, is worrisome.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Polis is also crazy when it comes to COVID and vaccines. The only reason Democrats still like him is because he checks off certain identity politics boxes!
Gov. Polis, who Trump said days ago is a "scumbag" who should "rot in hell," responds with glee to Trump's illegal strike on Venezuela:

I'm not going to say it yet, but today might change the relationship between the European right-wing and the MAGA movement. Marine Le Pen has already started distancing herself from Trump, and Farage treading lightly. Only the Canadian Tories are on MAGA's side.

Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program.
Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

The "support gap" for women when you look at Canada versus the United States is depressing.
It turns out that "freedom" for Canadian women looks a lot like financial security and physical safety than it does a gun and a soapbox.

For those of us who follow French politics, Brigitte Bardot was known as a right-wing nutball. Too bad the American media isn't picking up on this.

Latest Atlas Intel poll that has Democrats up by 16% in the generic Congressional ballot is even more of a joke than their usual polls. Here are some crosstabs.
Males: D +14.6%
Whites: D +17.4%
Rural: D + 8.3%
If Democrats performed this well, they would win all 435 seats and sweep the Senate.

Progressives truly have to ask themselves if sticking to the Democratic Party is the best thing. Democrats tell us to "Blue no matter who", but then flock over to Andrew Cuomo. Seriously, either progressives should take over, or start a new party.

I've been hearing about Democrats needing to be "young", but what about issues? I'd rather support an 84-year old Bernie Sanders than a 30-year old Chuck Schumer clone. It's more than just age.
