Gov. Walz to MS NOW:
"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.
"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

Sad and true.
I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

Only the MAGA cult still thinks this isn’t a dictator’s behavior. We have a dictator, and the spineless and bought off across the federal government, civilian and military, aren’t doing anything to slow him down.
These four articles are just the tip of the iceberg from today.

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to speak out strongly against #ICELawlessness & brutality like Governor Walz does here.
The time for mealy-mouthed timidness & focus group-talking points is over.
We're facing a deadly serious threat to our national security.
We need brave leaders, not cowards!

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.
