Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

I’m sharing a look at what I’m seeing up close with Georgia’s first-time candidates. It’s the part of campaigns you don’t usually hear about. These aren’t polished politicians. They’re everyday people stepping up, often with limited resources, and it shows how much courage that really takes.

@ossoff.bsky.social is my Senator. This is a hair on fire moment for our democracy and our Republic. Ossoff is someone who is not hyberbolic. He is very measured in what he says @democracydocket.com is sounding the alarm
While our attention is on I^C!E we need to shine a big bright light on this

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Today ICE shot an American citizen point blank in the face in Minnesota. And when the neighbors came out to protest, ICE gassed them.

Oz: "Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."
