On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

@governorwalz.mn.gov on his meeting with Tom Homan: “It was a little more grounded in reality. It was an acknowledgement that the situation is not what they want...it was somewhat of a glimmer of hope that at least it felt like we were dealing on the same reality.”

Kristi Noem must resign.

And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the survivors who shared their stories so we never forget. "Never again" isn't just words—it's a commitment. With antisemitism rising, we can't be silent. We have to stand against hate wherever it appears.

This is personal for me. I wore the uniform. I know what real professionalism looks like. When leadership tells agents they’re untouchable, people get hurt and in Minnesota, people have died. That’s not law enforcement. That’s failure, and it demands accountability.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Trump and his thugs can do a great deal of damage if not stopped.

We must not succumb to fear or despair.

When Donald Trump says who he really is, believe him.

He's raising your grocery prices.
He's violating your civil rights.
He's rolling back your health care.
He's taking away your education.

It's past time to stand up, push back, and be loud for America.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
