Astonishing stuff. It brings to mind Carey Harrison, Rex’s son, who died last year and was a clandestine operative for the ANC (was not tortured or imprisoned).

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

What’s happening in Minneapolis is the same as if 30 masked, armed federal agents started rolling through the mean streets of Whitefish, MT randomly stopping locals and asking to see their IDs.

Until I see several 4K videos from multiple angles from confirmed Minnesotan residents in the houses showing otherwise as they narrate what they see, I'm assuming "the guy attacked ICE officers with a shovel" is "guy was out shoveling snow when ICE hassled him and he said something they didn't like"

Mamdani got this, re: the Adams griftocracy. Jeffries, Schumer: take notes.
A future Congress should pass the “Status Quo Ante” Act that wherever practicable unwinds President Trump’s actions — from White House and Kennedy Center changes to tariffs to wrongful firings and deportations. Keep a publicly accessible draft of the bill that is updated each time he does something.
