Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go.

He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out.

Lesson to be learned. We have power.

Our US Constitution & the Bill of Rights clearly protect citizens:
Amd 1. Free speech and peaceful assembly
Amd 2. Freedom to bear arms

A man was executed today by the US Government for exercising those rights.

We are in the darkest of places.

Everyone needs to wake up.

So let me get this straight. The Justice Department WON’T investigate the shooting of a woman protesting ICE excesses in Minnesota but WILL investigate the Governor and Mayor?

What are you going to charge the Mayor and Governor with? “Felony disagreement?”

Absurd and shameful.

The Battle Over House Maps Spills Into 2026, Where an X-Factor Awaits
As the race to gerrymander House districts narrows to a few states, Democrats are trying to go on offense. But a Supreme Court ruling could give Republicans a major edge.

“I think every Democratic state that has the opportunity to redraw their maps should be looking at this current moment in time and watching Gov. DeSantis very closely,” explained John Bisognano, the president of the NDRC & its affiliates.

Hi, just your standard casual reminder that the attached image is taken from the Florida Constitution re: redistricting.

Not a law. Not a suggestion. Not the back of a napkin.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

📢 NEW: The Supreme Court has allowed Texas Republicans’ racist, gerrymandered maps to stand.

This decision undermines fair representation, further divides communities, and rigs the political playing field for the future.

The fight continues. Texans deserve fair maps and a real voice.

Just like he shrugged off January 6, Donald Trump is now turning a blind eye to the intimidation and threats Indiana lawmakers are facing for trying to do the right thing. It's concerning.

This week’s ruling striking down Texas’s Trump-ordered gerrymander was a critical win for voters ahead of 2026.

It’s also a reminder that no gerrymander is untouchable.

Even when Republicans stack the deck against us, the will of voters can still WIN.

🚨BREAKING🚨 : Texas Congressional map STRUCK DOWN by a Federal judge as racial gerrymander!!

Map returns to its prior iteration before Donald Trump picked up the phone and told Greg Abbott he needed him to gerrymander Texas to the most extreme degree.
